Friday Chinchilla Blogging & Shuffle! | Home | Where Democracy Goes to Die
Yesterday's Friday Chinchilla Blogging landed in front of the eyes of a center-left twentysomething living in North Atlanta. Unless she's a transplant, there's a decent chance I know her, even if she goes to trivia night at the "wrong" Mellow Mushroom (the "right" one is the one at Briarcliff and Lavista near Emory Villiage, which, if I remember, was also too crowded even in 1998, when I was one of the annoying kids she complains about). Also, two weeks ago one of my neighbors from grade school found me talking about Bobby Kennedy. Eerie, huh? Reading about the ATL again made me a touch homesick (fear not, Urs, I'm not leaving Seattle any time soon).
Along with Neil the Ethical Werewolf, Shakespeare's Sister, Daniel Munz, and hopefully a few other folks, I'm now perma-guest blogging for Ezra Klein on weekends. Having a whole crew will eliminate the push to come up with something useful to say every four hours. Tune in this week for discussions of Governor Schwarzenegger and gamer girls. Check out my new compadres at The Ethical Werewolf, Shakespeare's Sister, and Daniel Munz; I hear others may join shortly.
Update: Also the Daily Pepper.
In light of going semi-semi-pro, and the trend towards full length names rather than nicknames, I'm switching to my full middle name and changing the pronunciation of my last name from boo-DROW to BUH-drow (long 'o's in both pronunciations). I've been trying to push this change in my real life, too, but haven't had too much luck. Alas.
