WhatUpThen has decided to finish off graduate school with a bang. For all of studying and research on science education and forestry and environmental science and environmental justice, I’ve never been camping. In my room you won’t find a folded-up tent, binoculars, a sleeping bag, spiffy New Balance cross-trainers or rain gear. And you [...]

WhatUpThen the Camper
March 30, 2005Romance for the Condemned
March 28, 2005One more article –> it’s about women writing to and proposing marriage to Death Row inmates like Scott Peterson. It’s a curious one, no doubt. If everI feel inadequate or unsure of myself, I’ll be sure to reread this article to gain some confidence. Then again, any woman writing romantic letters to The [...]
What’s Wrong With Our Kids?
March 27, 2005Joan Ryan column on the teenage girl who slashed the throat of a 75-year old woman in a nice Berkeley neighborhood. Attack seemed random. Not for gang initiation or for money. No bad blood between the girl and the elderly woman. Just unforeseeable craziness. The line from the column which hooked me is this one [...]
Labels
March 27, 2005Some things ought to come with a label just like the Parental Advisory sticker. I think any music that synthesizes vocals should be labeled. It’s not to warn people of vocals from electronica bands like Air. If anything, Air purchases should be subsidized so that more people can listen and chill out a little bit. [...]
Watching Pros
March 25, 2005Brian and I didn’t actually go to the Warriors game a few nights ago. Instead we fired up the television and checked it out from his apartment. Not to attack the sanctity of a trip to the stadium or the arena but I’m beginning to think that if you have a nice TV, [...]
Placemarker
March 24, 2005Oh, I’m so sorry for not posting. No one wants to hear excuses but I’m written so much on my notepad and I just can’t find time to jump onto the computer except for times like this…at 2:57am when I’m just dying to go to bed. You know what, though? I’ll compile [...]
Last Day
March 17, 2005Back at the Stan-Stan, students customarily had three hours for finals. That was the assumption when I stepped in to take the wildlife biology exam at 8:30 this morning. But right around 9:05 the guy who told me the story about how he smashed his testicles on a stairway railing while trying to [...]
Reopening in 24 hours
March 16, 2005You’ve all gotta excuse me. It’s just that one of my more important final exam of recent memory happens tomorrow and I’ve tried to be single-tracked of mind of late. I can look into the future, however, and I envision a big-time blooger post WITH AUDIO coming tomorrow afternoon once the wildlife biology [...]
Vanity Autumn Jackson
March 11, 2005I think Autumn Jackson is the absolute coolest name a Black woman can have. It’s expressive and nondescript at the same time. Wait…why only a Black woman? Anyone could have this name and it would be so, so cool! Where did this crazy thought come from? Well, I was jogging [...]
Vancouver Photo Blowout
March 9, 2005Here are some photos from the trip to Vancouver. What a beautiful place, don’t you think? Cities are so great.
What’s up with the behind bars? Who the hell took this?!
Master P looks like he owns the joint.
All half-mast because four mounted police had just been killed.
Straight out of a John Hughes film. [...]
