I posted about it elsewhere on my social Media Outlets, but I should've linked it here. By Far the most media I use in one go has got to be during General Conference weekend-- 8-10 hours of television watching. But it's the best kind of uplifting, inspiring, and guiding programming ever. General Conference is an example of how God has given us technology in these times to spread forth the gospel and make transmission of messages easier.

We live in some cool times!

Resurrection of a Blog

Dear blog,      While you served me well before as a helpful outlet for media musings, the time has now come for a shift in purpose. What I need now is the chance to use you as a plowed field for my thought showers-- where sprinkles of interest can turn embryo theses into fruitful article ideas. Let me explain: Peer-reviewed empirical research articles (wowza) are helpful sources of knowledge for those in their respective fields. If you're in-the-know, you'll know a lot. However, to those unfamiliar with the jargon of social science (AKA 99.999%, SD= .001, of people on earth) that information, presented in that way, is not very helpful. So, here I will throw down all the ideas I have for articles to be published in normal-person-speak so that I can learn how to communicate all the information I'm being given to those around me.  Thanks again, blog, for all you've done! Here's to a few more years!  Katey

Confession time: I binged. Prior to this weekend I'd only watched (I think) about 2 TV episodes and only a few movies (and those were with friends). This weekend however, I had a dangerous mix: a pinch of free time, a dash of mindless jobs around the house to do, and a heaping spoonful of scary assignments that I wanted to avoid. All these concocted in a way that overpowered my self-control and had me drinking in episode after episode of the West Wing. In my defense, the Vice President had just resigned, the president's daughter was captured, there was a serious terrorist threat, and Donna was asked if she loved Josh. It seemed my patriotic, and personal obligation to see each of these things through to the end. But even as I was watching the show I couldn't help but wonder, "What is it about TV Shows in a time of stress and inactivity that makes it hard to click the red x  in the corner of my browser instead of 'Next Episode'?" 1) I think TV is ...

Challenge Update

I've been bad at staying off the phone this week while I'm outside. Its been hard because there's been so much to do, and I just had to get it done. But I realize that I feel like I've gotten no down time, my mid feels like it's still working and like I don't even remember the last few minutes if I'm on my phone in transit. And I'm missing Fall! It's terrible!  It's not worth it. If I can avoid it I want to redouble my efforts to stay off the phone when outside so I don't miss this:
