Rock the Mofo Vote
Okay, from the no surprise department, you all know TIS 2.0 and I have had a rocky relationship of late, what with the no (as in 0) women in their Top 25 B-Z List Blogs and let’s not forget Our Friend Jordan, The Industry Standard writer who enjoys gagging on his own foot.
But I am nothing if not forgiving.
(shut.up.)
I’ve since met Cyndy and realize she’s my sisterfromanotherplanet, having graduated out of the English and Comm/Journalism program at the Same College as Yours Truly (except it was DOUG Howard who kept my piano for me Cyndy, not Wendell–significant diff… we’ll talk…), and she’s a mom AND a writer AND does the social media dance, like me, PLUS Cyndy did a much needed interview with Hank on the Feldboy dustup, so….
I am declaring a truce with The Industry Standard and encouraging you to GO VOTE for the Top 100 Innovators starting now!
BTW I have to say that I’m glad Cyndy staged that coup at Profy so now she can spend time making The Industry Standard actually good.
(sorry, I had to.)

OMG, Jeneane, you kill me! And you were a DOUG pet? Oh, the SHAME! If it weren’t for Doug, I’d have a PhD in English now and be explaining to college freshmen somewhere why they really did need to read Paradise Lost. Doug told me I wasn’t smart enough or dedicated enough to get a doctorate. Heh. I showed him! *snort*

Sister friend, I was actually a Ken Mason pet - The.Toughest.Smartest. But Doug–He took my best friend under his wing during her breakdown and my piano into his living room when I didn’t have an apartment big enough. Jerry McCarthy — he’s the one who changed my trajectory. A poetry kind of thing.
Did we overlap years at all? I graduated in 84. I was Dimino then.
BTW, can we spend some time trashing Lauren when we meet? kthx.

Ken Mason… never had him, but I think he was stil there. And no, we didn’t. Graduated in ‘91. Wendell was my Advisor for English and Lauren my Advisor for Comm/J, so you can see why I dropped the double major. She was department head at the time. Yeah, I know… you weep for me.
