Last night I, along with my brother, his wife, and my husband, attended the Jeff Tweedy (lead man of Wilco) concert at a nice auditorium on the UT campus. We had a good dinner and a few beers at the Dog & Duck Pub before hand. The concert was great and Jeff was just as funny and surly as he always comes off as being on the albums. The most humorous part of the evening, however, was not Jeff or the other band, but the people sitting directly next to us. It has been a long time since I have seen a concert goer scream and holler for a song with such fervor. At one point I got so tickled that I was crying and no longer making a laughing noise although I was still laughing. My personal favorite line was … “Play California Stars … Damnit .. It was our wedding song …” … repeated about 10 times during the evening, between every song until he played it. As my husband put it … “Of course they are married … it takes a team to be that annoying.”

This will be my last of the ‘This letter stand for this’ series of posts … and a (no pun intended) good one to end on as well. I received an email this morning letting me know that I was accepted to present a poster session at the upcoming IA Summit in Las Vegas in March. Although I don’t much care for Nevada, I am delighted that my thesis re-write finally made it in to a conference and will see the light of day … the leather bound book on my office shelf was becoming a bit too dark and confining for it 
. I am doing my best to coax my friend BA to meet me at the conference to enjoy the glitz and glamour of Vegas and help me traverse the waters of an information architecture conference. I will be posting more here as things start to unfold.
For now, I am faced with preparing for my class in the Spring … it will be my first time teaching my own class and the topic area is “Advertising on the Internet”. Albeit I know quite a bit about interactive advertising, it has still been difficult to step back and start from zero with all of the concepts and ideas. I have been trying to get into my 18 year old frame of mind and remember what is was like to know nothing about advertising and the Internet … so far, all I can remember is that I didn’t have a cell phone and social networking still meant going somewhere to meet someone in person. Alas, I see the generation gap unfolding before my eyes.
So, in my effort to get organized and stay sane, I will keep the following in mind, courtesy of a delightful lady in my Motivation and Emotion class last semester …
“Real courage is knowing what faces you and knowing how to face it.”
– Timothy Dalton “Real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”

Alas, I have received my first rejection for a conference paper … they always say you remember your first time at everything and I doubt I will be forgetting my reviewers words anytime soon (wince). I got the email on Friday morning of last week and it has taken everything I’ve got to sit down and write papers all weekend. There is something about having your writing critiqued that doesn’t really give you the gumption to crank out 30 pages of fabulous prose for papers with looming deadlines. Oh well, time to just grin and bear it.
So, to get out of my “you are a miserable human being” funk, I have taken up residence this fine Sunday morning at the new coffee shop in my neighborhood. It is called Thunderbird Coffee and the logo they have reminds me of a pair of silver Thunderbird earrings my Grandmother gave me years ago … they were some my Grandfather had bought her on his first trip ‘Out West’ in the 1940s. Thunderbirds are a common site out there and, in my hometown of El Paso, Texas, the iron deposits in the mountains make the shape of a thunderbird. Fascinating stuff, I know .
Ok, back to the real world for now. Time to get papers written, finish my coffee, and quit staring into space. For someone who lives and breathes all things interactive, I find it disconcerting how hard it is to write about the Internet today … I wonder, will it be better by tomorrow? Unfortunately, that will be too late.
Back to burning the mid-day oil for now and cursing my lack of time management skills.

For the last ten years, or since I have moved to Austin, I have read the Free Will Astrology column in the Austin Chronicle every week. The astrologer who writes it is Bob Brezsny and he is based somewhere around San Francisco, CA. His horoscopes are the most eccentric and vivid I have seen and always make me think. I got this one about a month ago and thought it was worth saving …
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Writing in The New York Times, Joyce Wadler captured the essence of a genre that has lost its once-heady repute. “Poetry, if we may take a moment to explain to the young people,” she said, “is an art form somewhat like rap, only it does not sell, and since the death of Lord Byron [in 1824] there has been a paucity of bling-bling.” At the risk of nudging you toward a cultural dead end, then, Virgo, I’ll ask you to expose yourself to concentrated doses of poetry this week. In my astrological opinion, you need to have your brain scrambled and heart flushed in a lyrically healing way, which good poetry can do. Here are some excellent sources: (1)James Broughton, (2) Mary Oliver, (3) Pablo Neruda, (4) Rainer Maria Rilke, (5) Daniel Ladinsky, (6) Lots of poets.

After spending a week in San Francisco for the AEJMC conference, I am finally back to the land of the living. Although I love the big city and everything it has to offer, I must say that it was nice to get home and hear the crickets singing in my yard and the wind blowing through the trees … if only it weren’t so blasted hot while enjoying such things.
Since returning home, I have been making a valiant effort to enjoy what is left of the Summer before the Fall semester onslaught of work, classes, and running the media lab begins. For me, this means hunkering down somewhere with air conditioning and working on websites, crafting projects, reading old J.D. Salinger books, spending time with long lost friends, and watching all of the movies that I missed during the school year. So far, it has proven to be a fruitful effort … many scarves and trivets have been knitted, countless beads have been strung, many movies have been checked off of the list, and I am well into my second reading of Frannie and Zooey, a book that is far more interesting than my fourteen year old mind could have known during its first reading. I suppose reading a book about a family wrought with tragedy is more freeing than sitting around worrying about your own family, equally engulfed with stories of love and loss. Sounds pretty ‘pure and complicated’ … just as Salinger let on.
With that in mind, I will set out to live a pure and simple life for the next two weeks as the Summer winds down. To do this, I will continue being a crafting goddess, will change authors once this book is through, and will head to Florida for a nice vacation with my husband and girl dog … and, in true Bright fashion, will return from that vacation the night before school starts with the road on my mind and not a care in the world.
Come Wednesday the 30th it will be back to that whole pure and complicated way of life again.
