Make It Work

You know, maybe this watching Morning Fucking Joe every fucking day is a bad idea. I went to bed with an idea about the two things I wanted to write about this morning. Woke up, same two things on my mind. Got the girls off to school, the dogs fed, coffee in the belly, same [...]

Hodge Podge Lodge Thursday

OK, disjointedly cruising web while fast-forwarding through MFJ. I went on something of a Twitter bender on Tuesday night, eventually landing on the biggest prize of them all–none other than past PG Superhero Questlove! Not only does ?uesto tweet, he blips.
The problem with the Twitter bender is this: currently, when I post here at PG, [...]

Just when I thought I was out…

Ladies and gentlemen, since the election, it’s been 24/7 navel contemplation over here at Prematurely Grey. What else is left to do other than resting on my laurels?
Democrats on the move in Texas? Check
Democrat in the White House? Check
Democrat representing me in Congress? (Well, you can’t have everything–where would you put it?)
Frankly, I’ve been preparing [...]

Things Are Getting Weird

Just enjoying an unusually quiet morning Chez Prematurely Grey. (Tech Support Guy left for L.A. long before dawn and I’m taking a quick breather before diving into FullFundraiserFury08–36 Hours and Counting.) Dealing with email. Fast-forwarding through Morning Joe. (There’s the dirty little secret du jour–I have a thing for more than one Joe. Sadly, Morning [...]

Prematurely Grey 2.0

I’m back.
Frankly, as I’ve debated the resurrection of Prematurely Grey over the past two months (and don’t think that I’ve been thinking about anything else while upstairs “reading” all those history books I’ve been claiming to be interested in this summer), the don’t do it column kept tipping the scales. Going to the state convention [...]

This Ain’t No Mudd Club, or CBGB’s…

If you’re like me, your head is about to explode from the conflicting polls in the governor’s race. Add the various reports re. Bell’s TV advertising going completely dark, and it’s Dia de los MoFos around here. It got cold overnight–Austin’s gloomy and so am I.
So imagine the thrill when my new best friend Pink [...]

Why Won’t Caitlin Flanagan LEAVE ME ALONE?

Dear Caitlin,
I’m writing to ask that you please stop turning up in all my favorite Internet haunts. Apparently, admitting that I was powerless over the Mommy Wars and my life had become unmanageable wasn’t enough. One day at a time, I told myself, I will not throw needless handgrenades post about anything having to do [...]

Keeping Up with KXAN

I was just checking out the KXAN website to see if I could find a picture of that Mexican flag Jim Swift showed in his report on the immigration rally. No flag, but there’s a pretty fantastic shot of Jim himself on the “Out on the Porch” page:
People in Austin know that Jim usually wears [...]

Superpowers Are Everywhere!

Since my addiction to the Today Show has been rekindled courtesy of the Compact (and the fact that our Tivo-DVR jerryrig was once again reliably unreliable and IT DIDN’T RECORD THE TODAY SHOW!), I’m obsessed with the whole future of Katie Couric story. But this being television addiction, 2006, I’m obsessed with reading about television [...]

Elizabeth S. Burr’s Superpowers for Real, New York Times reports

Some of you are not aware of my hair’s role in Tom DeLay’s downfall. Briefly, in 2004, it became clear that my hair cuts and Tom DeLay’s woes were linked. I accepted the responsibility any super has to use her powers for good and decided to chronicle the connection in a blog. The beginning of [...]
