		<title>Just call me a critic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
You can call me self-involved, too, because I was googling myself, which I do sometimes to make sure nothing weird comes up, and I found that an article in El Pais (a spanish newspaper) from December quotes one of my Pomona newspaper articles from a few years ago. I’d written about the Hollywood trend of remaking [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluesuedeshoes.wordpress.com&blog=1276360&post=245&subd=bluesuedeshoes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cover Story Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I finished my 50 paintings based on book covers (see post below) and the show opened yesterday! The opening reception is Saturday from 6pm-9pm, and you all (i.e. my several readers, none of whom live in Sacramento, but oh well) are invited. 20th Street Art Gallery in Sacramento, on 20th St. between I and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluesuedeshoes.wordpress.com&blog=1276360&post=232&subd=bluesuedeshoes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cover Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok. So clearly I fell off the face of the earth for awhile. But I&#8217;ve been busy! With work and painting, which is the reason for this back-from-the-dead post.



Since January 30, I&#8217;ve been participating in the 50-50 show for 20th Street Art Gallery. The conceit: 0ver 70 artists each do one painting a day (on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluesuedeshoes.wordpress.com&blog=1276360&post=226&subd=bluesuedeshoes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Ping pong madness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though I haven&#8217;t played in more than a year, I love ping pong. (I also have two shirts from my high school days in ping pong club, two other items of clothing with ping pong references, and the nickname of &#8220;net whore,&#8221; thanks to my lovely sister and my skill at coaxing the ball to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluesuedeshoes.wordpress.com&blog=1276360&post=224&subd=bluesuedeshoes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>For a laugh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a picture of me with Shaq when I interviewed him at a fundraiser for Kevin Johnson&#8217;s St. Hope organization. Shaq was the keynote speaker, and came out in a Afro and lipsyncing to a Jackson 5 song before getting down to business.

		<title>Elephants&#8230; Teeth Sinking Into Heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rachael Yamagata is one of my favorite musicians, if that status can be earned with a single album (2004&#8217;s Happenstance ), and I&#8217;ve been waiting ages for a follow-up. Now, Elephants&#8230; Teeth Sinking Into Heart (a two-disc CD) comes out on October 7!
 
Here is the video for her first single, &#8220;Elephants&#8221;. It seems like a bit [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluesuedeshoes.wordpress.com&blog=1276360&post=213&subd=bluesuedeshoes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Knives, Cups, Buttons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my freshman year sculpture class, we had one assignment that was to build something out of repeated units of a single material. One girl built a snowboard out of plastic knives; I built a violin out of caramel corn and Bazooka bubble gum (okay, I cheated and used two materials).
 
As a far, far better [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluesuedeshoes.wordpress.com&blog=1276360&post=203&subd=bluesuedeshoes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The only kind of tattoo I might actually get</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few days ago the New York Times book blog wrote this post, &#8220;Pain and Ink,&#8221; about people who get literary-themed tattoos. You can see some of the tattoos here (Most of them are from books, but some are from songs, too, and I&#8217;m digging the ellipses tattoo. There&#8217;s also a fair bit of Elvish).
So, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluesuedeshoes.wordpress.com&blog=1276360&post=196&subd=bluesuedeshoes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, I haven&#8217;t joined a gang. Nor have I died&#8211;long absence is due to deadline (new mag out by August 1st!).

But I have been excited by news of a bilingual West Side Story to be revived on Broadway by Arthur Laurents, who did Gypsy last year. I&#8217;ve never seen the stage show, and I do [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluesuedeshoes.wordpress.com&blog=1276360&post=191&subd=bluesuedeshoes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
