It's Official.

Will be working at the same paper post-graduation. I'll probably re-start this blog, spruce it up and whatnot, in May. Until then...

Temporarily Closed?

Since there's a chance I'll be back in Raleigh after May, I'm keeping this open. I may title it something different and change the address, depending on if I want it to just be a blog for me to post my work. But for now, it's dark.

Final Stories

I forgot to post them:

-Life over breasts (my last feature story of the summer)

-A mundane meeting story

More stories...

-Mundane piece on cemeteries

-Football moms kind of remind me of Hayfield Drama moms

Could've been better.

-For my mother, basically. There's also a really bad editing error in paragraph five. It should be "Engrish."

-This review is apparently racy for my paper, which speaks to its readership.

Another public art piece.

The hardest interview I've ever had to do this summer - maybe ever.

No Words Necessary

Sunday 1A

I've been working on this for a long time. Unfortunately, about half of it was cut but the words are all mine. Long stories in a print newspaper are hard to sell. There's a lot more to say than what's here, but I'm happy with it.

Updates

Having too much fun in the Triangle to blog.
Here are some more stories:

-Local discrimination in the form of car towing

-Covering school boards and feeling nostalgic about high school

Moral of the Story

No one edits my reviews, and they should.

Preview

Writing a big story about this later in the month. But for now, just an update.

Uh Oh

A colleague just pointed out that I've been sighing a lot.
Oh no, it's happening again.

Is it possible to be happy somewhere but also be going through a depressive episode? I believe it is possible.
I'm going to try and ride it out.

It's Really Hot Down Here

Of murals and men.

Sunday Arts & Living Front

Going to this show Tuesday myself, but this was the front page of Arts & Living today!

Stories

...a story about a new supermarket for people with money.

...a story about a new health initiative.

...a (non)story about a gun range.

I'm working out of Chapel Hill now, mainly because there are only two staffers in our entire Chapel Hill bureau. I like it here, even though my commute has gone from five minutes to 50.

New Project.

I know. I am obsessed with blogs.

This is freaky

Watch this entire trailer. It gets really scary toward the end.

Oh, Right!

I should work on this again.
