New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii isn’t nearly as impressive as Super Mario Galaxy was. SMG delivered true innovation. NSMB is only throwing new power-ups and multiplayer capabilities at us, leaving me wanting.
Finally, the Wii Fit is giving us what we’ve been craving in the form of Wii Fit Plus. Being able to customize [...]
E3: Nintendo Press Conference Rehash.
When it rains…
…it MFing pours.
I crossed everything off on the list in the previous post, mailed things out, and felt free.
I then got an e-mail titled “thesis issue.” Apparently, my advisor thought I was using MLA format and gave me revisions as such. I was working with APA format from the online databases I used. In the [...]

Three lectures down…
And one to go sometime in March. With enough documentation, these four lectures will be more than enough for the directed study. So far, the evaluation sheets I’ve received from the students have been positive and constructive. The historians want more history, “um” is my favorite vocal filler, and I apparently “rock.”
I’d say I did [...]
‘Sup full plate?
Crimson just added two more shows to the calendar: Thursday, Jan. 29 and Thursday, February 26.
We also added a new guitar player. Welcome, D-Torr! I’m looking forward to the band sounding a lot fuller.
On top of the new gigs and guitar player, we have a new schedule. It looks like Mondays are good times for [...]
The Crimson Change.
After a discussion and some tamales at the Cheesecake Facotry, we decided, as a band, to become a band. Not that we weren’t before, of course. Now we’re going to talk the talk, since we’ve been walking the walk all these years.
Elisa Meléndez is now the lead singer of Crimson, not a solo artist.
It feels [...]
Yeah, it’s been a while.
As soon as school hit, it really hit. Something’s due every week, and it’s a mixture of dealing with the present and preparing for the future (thesis and directed study).
There’s good news, though. For my directed study, I’m going to present sections of my Women in Rock course in some Women’s Studies classes at FIU. [...]
The week of the show.
A few things go into show prep that can easily be construed as playing into my stereotype.
What Evan calls “advancing the show” takes place, which is when I call the promoter and ask about any last-minute details that need to be worked out (guest lists, how the band is played, what time we go on, [...]
