neww blog
Here is my new blog. I converted all of my old tumblr AND wordpress entries so it’s a little messy right now, keep checking back for updates/amplified prettiness
kbye
Tumbler, it’s been fun. You’re really pretty and it’s flattering when people I don’t know follow me, thus increasing my “tumblarity.” But I’m not interested in re-blogging or only posting one picture at a time or solely posting internet memes SO we’re done.
Now that I have graduated I have nothing to do until I go to Europe, except make a new blog...
Funny things that have happened on mine and...
herestous:
Me:
HELLA GOODBYE HELLA GOODBYE HA HA HA
Katie:
v. funny rather, v. concerning
Me: WHAT IS TIME? WHAT IS REALITY? WHAT IS LIFE? WHAT IS HELL?
Me: OH, THE LANDSCAPES OF CULTURE
Katie: baroque my world
Katie: somehow this is the shortest and longest night of my life
Me: WHAT IS TIME?
God these aren’t even funny
this should be indicative of why i haven’t been updating. i return...
Conversation with my mother, via BBM, regarding...
Katie: Okay, dinner's at seven.
Barbara: Daddy wants to go a bit later. does that work for you? We just got in and he's tired from driving.
Katie: Well the reservation's at seven... I don't know if I'll be able to change it.
Barbara: Well can you make it at eight?
Katie: Okay did it
Katie: Eight on the patio
Barbara: Does the patio have heat lamps?
Katie: Umm I don't know you can call them and ask 5106524888
Barbara: I couldn't get thru to a live person. I think it'll be too cold for an 85 year old man.
Katie: It's up to you I don't care I live here, just tell me what to do
Barbara: We can leave here in ten minutes. Italian?
Katie: Wait I thought you were coming at eight, hence why I changed the reservation
Barbara: No- now they want to leave in 5 minutes!!! H-E-L-P!!!
Katie: OMG just comeee
Barbara: Calm down. I am relying on you to be sane with me.
Katie: Haha
Katie: Heads up I look tired/homeless. It's been a long week.
Barbara: P
Katie: ? Was that supposed to be an emoticon?
Barbara: We are on our way.

Live Blogging the Panda Express Senate Meeting
I decided to live blog the Panda Express senate meeting (for background info, go here, here, or here) on a whim; I’m a fast typer and have live blogged before and was going to the meeting anyways, so thought I might as well make myself useful. But I learned so much through the process that I decided to edit my original transcript so that, hopefully, Berkeley students and others interested in...

100 days of Obama's Facebook news feed. →
I am graduating in 18 days. Usually I feel okay about this, and by “okay” I mean I just don’t think about the future right now, and by “the future” I mean anything further away than dinner. Usually I’m fine, but a few days ago I had a mini nervous breakdown in the Environmental Studies Library, where I had to go to do research for a paper. I had never been in...
Things I Don't Understand:
Why are there so many Russian women (with horrible attitudes) on this season of Battle of the Bods? Did the show’s casting agent show up at, like, a Russian immigration center and just round a bunch of them up? It can’t just be a coincidence. The show is filmed in LA, and I swear I’ve never seen that many tall, bitchy, heavily-accented women in my hometown before.
Why are...
Connie, my hero. →
Connie Wang is my hero. Not just because of the particular post linked above, which is dedicated to 90’s fashion and therefore somewhat to myself (crop tops? check. knee socks? check. floral dresses? CHECK PLUS. I could continue?), but also because she buys me food with her points (which she has even though she is a senior… nerd), and answers all of my html questions, and knows how to...
five things you should know about this blog
1. I am only using tumblr because it is pretty. I hate re-blogging and following and all other aspects of tumblr. They stress me out (not to mention represent everything I hate about microblogging/new media) , so I will not be participating in such activities.
2. Speaking of tumblr’s prettiness, if you click on my blog title you SEE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION. Like, my email address and...
