So everyone I know seems confused about what exactly I do. They open the paper or go to our website looking for my name, and can only find it on the masthead. Why? Because most of my job involves assigning, editing, and proofreading articles and blogs, as well as helping post to the blogs or website. Which means a lot of my work is behind the scenes, attached to the name of a writer who isn't me. But that doesn't mean I'm not writing at all -- I've been blogging (though obviously, not here), and I've been contributing occasional stories to the paper (particularly our special sections). So I've decided that in the interest of appeasing my readers, and in keeping with the original purpose of this blog as a clips archive, that I'll post links to my recent work. First: what I've been writing on the Guardian blogs. Print clips to come...
For Noise, our music blog, I've recently written about:
- Reggae on the River
- the Bootie anniversary party
- my sister's badass band
- the tragedy that befell a local drummer on the Fourth of July
- my email interview with Dave-1 from Chromeo
- my new obsession with electropop
- Beyonce's famous fall
- my favorite musical Dick
- and Mexican's best recent import Kinky (oh how I love them).
For Pixel Vision, our culture blog, it's been:
- heavy metal quilts
- people who have fun for a living
- the silliest vodka ever invented (yet)
- the Monterey Pop Festival
- places to get free booze
- a stupid Debra Messing TV show
- an awesomely unpretentious wine bar
- the best bread ever
- my Big Lebowski field trip
- Peter and the Wolf composer Prokofiev
- another magazine to make you feel bad about yourself
- and a spa on wheels.
Again, that doesn't include all the blog posts written by someone else that I've assigned, edited, and/or posted, but I don't have the patience to go into them here. Just rest assured that I am earning my living doing something other than writing one story a month and checking my Myspace.
