http://www.alissaclark.com there's life after graduation Thu, 04 Jan 2007 21:29:47 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en . . . I won't be blogging here anymore. I'm permanently at tomandalissa.com. So long and farewell, but come on over for lots more of the same. http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=438 Okay, folks - this is a big day in the life of alissaclark.com! As you should know by now if you've been paying any attention, Tom and I are getting married this Saturday, September 2, 2006 at Loudonville Community Church. We'll be heading to Cape Cod for the week and ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=437 Very cool rings, shirts, etc., all girly and flowery and stuff. Love it! http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=436 I got stuck waiting at home this morning for the Verizon guy (::hates on Verizon::) until Tom got there. Not that I'm complaining. It can be nice to sit a little longer on the couch and monitor the Blackberry in my pajamas. A few minutes after Tom walked in, ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=435 The internet has been in and out and in and out at home, which is infuriating and more than annoying, but seriously, what can you do? Last night we had artichokes and ginger chicken and watched The Talented Mr. Ripley, which I'd never seen and Tom hadn't seen in about nine ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=434 I'd just like to link to Josh's most recent article on Relevant (which, yes, I published) because I think it's so good, and it deals with a subject close to my heart - what if you didn't recognize or conceive of your calling to the arts/creative life until life had ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=433 Cool site: See Jane Work. http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=432 Umm, what? http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=431 Wow, bummer. I feel like my elementary school education is in peril. We looooove our Mukka Express. So yummy, so easy to clean, sooo good. I went to a workshop at the Manhattan Center yesterday given by Edward Tufte, who is to information design what Jakob Nielsen is to web ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=430 I am, in fact, alive. I had a blog post written up but yesterday was the day of the Internet Access from Hell and it never made it up. Verizon needs a kick in the pants. To make a long story short, we bought a lot of furniture this ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=429 In my free time at work, I've been going through the inspiring archives of Girl at Play and found this sweet little article about taking a minivacation. Enjoy. http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=428 We got our marriage license this morning. As we walked out, I said, "Wow! We're so grown up! We're old!" And Tom said, "No, I'm old. I'm 24. You're only 22." http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=427 Excellent article - "What On Earth is Christian Film Criticism?". http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=426 • Hygge House: I think this will be a cool site. • Feel better about yourself: I've been looking for this site for a while (I'd seen it once, but neglected to bookmark it). Note the before/after gallery. • It's amusing that all my favorite pictures are of coffee. • If I ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=425 Lately, I keep having those I-can't-believe-I-live-here moments, with an added frisson of I-can't-believe-this-is-my-life. Most of them come when I'm on the train to work, which travels in inky blackness but then bursts into the sunlight on the Manhattan Bridge to cross the East River, and the water and buildings ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=424 I am beginning to write my life story On blank sheets of paper The one that I write everyday Whether or not I pick up a pen The days: pages The nights: illustrations My mouth: dialogue The years: chapters Characters come and go The protagonist which is me The antagonist which is me Somedays I lose the plot And flounder I can't remember ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=423 Heh heh heh. http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=422 They've been burning the coffee at work lately, and it just tastes dreadful. Boo! Hiss! I don't want to have to buy coffee, but this is not a Good Thing. So Tom and I went up to visit my parents this weekend, mostly to see my Dad before he ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=421 I want this book. http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=420 Starting September 1 - download Mockingbird for free, and legal! http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=419 Some of you know that I'm an editor (here's my section). And I've been an editor off and on for a long time. With my mom, I edited our homeschool group's monthly 16-page newsletter throughout all four years of high school. And, I've often confided to Tom ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=417 Worth reading: Come and See: Leonardo da Vinci's Philip in The Last Supper. Mako Fujimura weighs in with grace on Da Vinci, the last supper, art criticism, and the church. http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=416 Disclaimer: Don't get me wrong, I love and miss my alma mater, good ol' RPI. I miss the subculture, the intense geekitivity, the late nights in the Union playing WebBoggle, the stupid jokes that nobody else would understand unless they're from someplace like MIT. I have ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=415 Ok - this bears repeating, because it will be awesome: SAVE THE DATE: Thursday afternoon, February 22, 2007 through Saturday evening, February 24, 2007 for the next IAM Conference in NYC! Topic will be "Redemptive Culture" and key note speaker will be Jeremy Begbie, Founder and director of the international ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=414 I just don't have much to post today; August is exceeding quiet, and I've been scheduling and rescheduling a meeting today with an incredibly busy trader who is putting out fires left and right. So I've just been sitting around doing not too much, and my email has even ... http://www.alissaclark.com/?p=412
