The Flaherty Files: Shelby
http://flahertyjmc425.blogspot.com/2009/04/shelby.html
A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Tuesday, April 14, 2009. This is a picture of me and the dog I grew up with, Shelby. She's a pomeranian/miniature poodle mix that my dad just randomly brought home one day back in 1996 when I was 11 and my sister was 9. We had never had a dog before, and needless to say, we were ecstatic to have this cute, crazy ball of fuzz! You know how it is when you have an animal in your life for years, and you seem to have your own language between the two of you? Shelby e...

A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Aren't these tea parties missing the point? I just read on CNN.com that there have been various "tea parties". Taking place across the country as a form of protest against big government and out of control government spending. The tea parties are meant to resemble the Boston Tea Party, where in many people get together to throw a bunch of tea (or empty coolers that say "tea" on them) into the sea. Sarcasm] Read the HuffPo article here.

A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Monday, February 9, 2009. Shut out by the economy. They're gone, all gone, and here are a few companies that might be next. According to Moody's Investors Service:. For the complete list of companies, go to the article: "15 companies that might not survive 2009.". Boys, girls, and the money divide". I just finished reading an article about the differences between boys and girls when it comes to money. It seriously appalled me. I'll tell you why. In the end, I ju...

The Flaherty Files: Wedding dreams; hair nightmares
http://flahertyjmc425.blogspot.com/2009/04/wedding-dreams-hair-nightmares.html
A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Thursday, April 23, 2009. Wedding dreams; hair nightmares. One month, two weeks, three days, seven hours and 53 minutes. And the countdown continues to my little sister’s wedding. Despite having procrastinated on everything from the invitations to the decorations, the entire event is finally starting to fall into place, and our mom is breathing a huge sigh of relief. Mom would think about Kate “living in sin” so blatantly. But things really took a turn to the wi...

The Flaherty Files: The local music scene
http://flahertyjmc425.blogspot.com/2009/04/local-music-scene.html
A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Monday, April 27, 2009. The local music scene. My boyfriend and I went to the Holobora music and art festival on Saturday. We probably would have gone anyway, but we had to go for my zine, The F.Y.I., since I did an entire issue dedicated to the festival and the bands participating in it. We got there early and set up a booth, then sat there to observe as the entire evening went by. Together, we came up with a few conclusions about Kearney's music scene. Another...

A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Thursday, February 19, 2009. Smoking is a personal decision and needs to remain just that: personal. If you want to read the bill itself, go here: LB395. Despite the arguments from both sides, no argument is more valid than this: there needs to be a limit as to how far one person can invade another person’s space. We have harassment laws, stalking laws, traffic laws, pollution laws, disruption laws and privacy laws, to name a few, and we will now have ...Smoking...

A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Thursday, April 9, 2009. Review] The King of Kong: A fistfull of quarters. Following the journey of Steve Wiebe, this documentary captures the inner workings of what it takes to be a video game record holder. In the beginning, Wiebe is described by friends and family as “a tragic figure” who has never won anything in his life and who always seems to get the short stick, which becomes apparent with Wiebe’s recent layoff as a Boeing engineer. Like any good film, t...

A blog for JMC425 Blogging and Commentary. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Broken down, haunted and loved [video commentary]. Despite being slightly more expensive and further away from campus, I chose this apartment over the others for its beauty and comfort. I had become attached the moment I stepped foot into the vacant living room, and I simply couldn't turn it down. I didn't care, though. This apartment had charm, and I was enamored. There are so many other historic houses in the neighborhood, yet this h...
