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.

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.

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.

Poor Guy

One of the more unfortunate consequences of a failing economy and rising metal prices.

A Real Features Story!

The headline is pretty bad, but this was enlightening in a lot of ways. [Personally, politically.]

Whoops

They gave me another review. Silly editors.

Slow News Day

But met some good people, regardless.

Metro Debut

18-year-olds are as difficult to interview as 99-year-olds. I think this story makes it obvious.

Um

Maybe my last review of the summer. Or, ever, if readers are lucky.

Oh, Also

I wrote this craptastic Love Guru review. But I'm not A.O. Scott, and I decidedly don't even enjoy writing these anymore. Seriously, read his review - it's fantastic.

I should start getting real stories published soon. I'm working on four non-reviews that are getting all wrapped up.

Ghatothkach [CQ]

This movie was pretty stupid, but I'm saving my scathing review for next week.
