Project Runway: About last night…

Posted on October 8, 2010October 9, 2010 by Whitney

This blog post contains spoilers for last night’s episode, which I call The One Where They Make Clothes for Heidi. If you haven’t watched it yet, don’t click the link for the full post! Seriously. I don’t want to spoil it at all.

Quick little post

Posted on September 28, 2010September 28, 2010 by Whitney

Just a quick post before we head out to start our day. I’m told it won’t be as hot as yesterday. Which would be welcome. It was horrible. The Guardian had this lovely story: This is a news website article about a scientific paper. As someone who reads about science news on the internet, this…

Fire, no sleep, and someone needs to get fired.

Posted on September 17, 2010September 17, 2010 by Whitney

Right now there’s a fire burning up in the hills between Whittier and Hacienda Heights (they’ve dubbed it the Colima Incident). It started yesterday afternoon and is apparently contained- of course, I had to wait until this morning to find that out. I wish that local news would keep up with these things around the…

There are a number of things I don’t like about Apple’s business practices, mostly in how limiting they are to app developers and that essentially…

Well, that’s one less obsession.

Posted on September 6, 2010February 23, 2020 by Whitney

As I blogged last week, I obsess over boots. I have way too many pairs of boots (someday I will take pictures to share). I am also obsessed with Scott Pilgrim vs The World (the movie- I haven’t finished the graphic novel series to become obsessed with that). More specifically: Envy Adams boots. After seeing…

Ping.

Posted on September 5, 2010 by Whitney

This week, Apple released Ping. It’s a music social network built into iTunes. Given the number of social networks out there, I knew plenty of people who wanted to know if it was even worth signing up for it and giving it a shot. For those of you, I tried it out, and here are…

The Newsweek article on Gay Actors, revisited

Posted on May 11, 2010May 11, 2010 by Whitney

After the internet rose up against Ramin Setoodah (whose name is now one that I remember how to spell), he posted a follow-up to the original article. In short, he was misconstrued. His point was that thus far, there hasn’t been a major leading man who was openly gay and wondering if it was possible….

Whitney Drake

I am a writer, artist, mother, and geek. I write about what catches my attention- whether it's fandom, politics, hockey, life as a Latina, or life with Crohns disease. Sometimes I write about marriage and kids, but that's not very often these days.
