I was thinking that the social networking site currently named Facebook could prove to be an effective networking tool. I humbly admit that I am one of those media whores who friends New York Times journalists not so much so that I can get to know them and eventually invite them over to my home for a nice meal my husband can whip up, but so that I can pitch them a story via Facebook mail and save myself and the technology company for whom I do some publicity about four grand a year, the average cost of a sophisticated media database and press release distribution service. I’m cheap and I’m tacky. Yes I am. Proud of it! Is that why I’ve been placed on probation? Yes. A two-day probation. Like the kind I used to get in Catholic grade school when I couldn’t s...

Photo by Donna Trussell My new post on Politics Daily / Woman Up. A Magical Life Cut Short, but Lived on Her Own Fierce Terms. It seems like yesterday. It seems like a hundred years ago. After my friend Linda Elizondo died of cancer last week, her sister-in-law sent me an old photograph which, she thought, captured Lindy’s joie de vivre. “A magical life cut short,” Lindy’s sister-in-law wrote, “but lived on her own fierce terms.” I had taken the picture 35 years ago. I don’t remember taking it. Not a very natural pose. (Is it any wonder I didn’t last long in photojournalism?) What is Lindy doing? What’s with the unopened bottle of wine leaning against her leg? The answers are lost to history. Except for the c...

Best Friend Ban? What a Lousy, Orwellian Way to Rear Children. Hey there, helicopter parents and minions in schools, camps and extra-circular activities: Nineteen Eighty-Four called. It wants its fascism back. Cartoon by Robert Trussell © 2010 We here at Woman Up are weighing in on the New York Times story, “A Best Friend? You Must Be Kidding,” and the responses of readers, which are close to unanimous in contempt for the notion that best friends are bad for kids. Starting with a Facebook friend of mine who wrote: “For a minute, I thought this was an Onion article.” (The Onion is a satiric site of fictional news.) In one corner, we have administrators. They claim the best friend paradigm smacks of exclusivity and cliques, w...

Oh and then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, your bff laughs her ass off when you tell her because she’s dead inside (I think she peed a little bit). I am, in fact, living this dream. You all know me right? I label. My life has order and symetry. I can’t deal with this color disaster. It’s far too great an investment to switch to a new one. And mixing!?! Ugh I’m still looking for a solution – sans laughing bff who I’m probably gonna give the silent treatment for at least 3.58 days – and until I find one, I’m gonna be mopey and sad like a 3 year old who doesn’t get to use her crayons on her bedr...

It's a beautiful Japanese bell, quite like the one in the picture. When you bang it with the pretty wooden stick, it makes a wonderful, resonant sound, and it reminds me of the way there are angels that seem to sing when people say "Om" together before a yoga class.I was showing it off to my husband, and you can read the rest of the story at The Second Road!
