The View From Kalamazoo

So yesterday I mentioned the blog conference over at 11D. After taking some time to read through everything I can say I’m even more sorry now than I was yesterday that I missed it. Many hearty ‘thank you!’s to her for doing it. Here are Our Moderator’s final words of the week, and a follow-up on the format – I hope she is merely the first of many short, directed blog conferences (particularly for discussing topics relating to, or bridging off of, those covered earlier in the month, but only because those are the topics I’m particularly interested in conversing about).

I’d consider trying it, but I’ve heard comments by those readers who aren’t thrilled with this system/having to sign up for an account (not like I will stalk you, send you unwanted holiday greetings, or sell information…but whatever) and problems therein that I hesitate. Rather than being a blog’ho like That Man I Married (who has, what, 6??!!?) I like the idea of directed, specific flurries of topical conversation within my otherwise non-topic-specific space.

If you have an opinion, please offer it – heck, send me email if posting here is making you threee shades of crazy: elisabeth dot carnell at wmich dot edu

Emma will be getting Buffy for her 8th birthday. I am a real, true sucker. (and yes, for all you purists, she is sure to take it out of the package and play with it. writhe! weep!)

She’ll go well with the talking Care Bear from Santa, yes? (sick, sick, sick)
