Have you met our dog?
August 23rd, 2010
This is Abby; we met in April. She’s some kind of mix. This is the first dog I have ever trusted (so briefly) to gnaw on my knuckles– but tenderly.

Halcyon Delirium Sleep-Free Comatose Living Dead Girl
August 8th, 2010
It’s my third consecutive night of sleeplessness. The first was work–a night shift at the hotel. The second, aftershocks. Tonight–work again. I’m typing this on my 4:05am lunch break (shall we call it brunch at this point?) and I’m plotting my next moves. Sunday and Monday I have gloriously free from my day job and I’m headed up to Austin. It’s been too long!
Here’s my batshit insanity plan for the next 48 hours.
0600 Get out of work in San Antonio. Drive home listlessly. Pack up a bathing suit, a meager supply of cash, and a pair of high heels.
0700 Take advantage of phantom energy and drive to Austin.
0830 Arrive at Barton Springs Pool.
0900-1230 Sleep in the grass.
1300-1530 Attend Second Annual Austin Publishing University Session on content making at BookPeople.
After that, I’m not sure what’s next. Probably something like snacks, more sleeping, dinner, conversation, a drink or two, and then lights out. Monday is wide open, and I’m keeping it that way.
My sleep rhythms are suffering. Is this what it’s like in a quote-unquote K Hole? Discuss.

Milestone: Digital Girl’s First Live Set
August 7th, 2010
Back when I sat in a radio studio for the first time, I never thought I would be where I am today.
I went from morning podcast duty with KUT Morning Edition producer Crystal Chavez in Austin to chirping in on East Village Radio with The FADER Let Out in NYC to where we are today, running a weekly two hour set at Trinity University’s KRTU 91.7 FM in San Antonio.
Click here to download the show. It’s listed as The Distance but the show is called Digital Girl Radio.
Special thanks to Emily Donahue, Ian Crawford, Crystal Chavez, Jennifer Stayton, Mose Buchele, Erika Aguilar, Ben Philpott, Nathan Bernier, Julie Moody, Julianne Escobedo-Shepherd, J.J. Lopez, J.D. Swerzynski, and last but not least, Peter Hensel. I owe all my radio knowledge to them.

Guess What Y’all?
August 5th, 2010
Something that never occurred to me before today: I am thankful to live in a region of the country/world/galaxy where words like folks and y’all are actually uttered. In addition, today I had no fewer than three women tell me they loved my outfit in a genuine, gushing way that didn’t make me secretly think they actually hated it, a Spanish rocker with lilac hair sat and had a milkshake with me at the old Olmos Pharmacy AND the plus-size clerks at SA’s new Buffalo Exchange (!!!) purchased more than 1/2 of my castaways, including a long vintage dress that was a bit stained on the shoulders. The point is… it’s really hard to be lonely here.
