Katrina Remembrance

Posted by MissMalaprop on August 29th, 2007

I did a random drawing the other night to decide who would get my copy of The Wal-Mart Effect, and I’ll be passing it on to Ann from Beadiful Things. She’s promised to do a similar drawing on her own blog once she’s done reading it.
Again, I know I haven’t been doing much posting […]

The Wal-Mart Effect

Posted by MissMalaprop on August 23rd, 2007

I just finished reading The Wal-Mart Effect by Charles Fishman. I found the entire book completely engrossing, and it made me consider things I’d never even thought about when it comes to the superstore giant.
I really liked the book because it maintained a pretty objective stance throughout. It’s neither pro Wal-Mart nor anti […]

Snook’s Sweet Potato Dog Chews

Posted by MissMalaprop on August 22nd, 2007

I brought my dog to the vet this morning for her yearly check-up. I was very happy to hear that she’s doing fine, and in some ways is feeling even better than a year ago, just after we first got her. (She was a stray for awhile when she was younger and she […]

Mix Tape Zine

Posted by MissMalaprop on August 21st, 2007

I recently received my copy of the first issue of mix tape zine in the mail and I quickly devoured it. Taking its inspiration from CROQ Zine, this Australian based indie publication is full of articles and info on green living, crafts and artists, and cool cultural stuff (I really enjoyed the piece on […]

Developing Youth Style

Posted by MissMischief on August 20th, 2007

I recently set my awesome 14 year old niece up with an Etsy account; I figured it would be a good way to buy her birthday and Christmas presents she’d like, while encouraging her to support independent artists and designers (while nurturing her sense of individual style and fashion). And look out! It […]

Reflections On The First Year

Posted by MissMalaprop on August 17th, 2007

Wow, so I celebrated my blog’s anniversary on Monday, and then promptly ceased to post anymore for the rest of the week. To be fair, I was out of town for a few days, but lately I’ve just been trying to take a step back from a lot of things. I’ve been doing […]

Eberhardt Press: Printing for the Anarchist/Enviromentalist Mind

Posted by MissMischief on August 16th, 2007

Miss Libby at exoskeleton cabaret recently brought to my eye Eberhardt Press, a small anarchist printing press based out of Portland, Oregon. While the internet has become a useful tool for marketing and promotion, in many communities, such as Bloomington (where I’m at), the most predominant and effective way of marketing an event, spreading […]

Carnival of the Green # 90

Posted by MissMalaprop on August 13th, 2007

Long ago I signed up to host the Carnival of the Green this week, in celebration of the first anniversary of MissMalaprop (my first real post was a year ago today). Without further ado, here’s the round-up of the past week’s posts from around the green blogosphere:
Eco Issues
Mark Powell tackles the issue of controversial […]

Indie Fixx Turns 1!

Posted by MissMalaprop on August 10th, 2007

My friend Jen over at Indie Fixx just recently celebrated her blog’s anniversary. Indie Fixx officially turned one-year-old on August 6th and she’s having a contest which you can enter for your chance to win $485 in prizes donated by 15 different indie shops (the contents of the grand prize are pictured here).
She’s […]

Arts Administrators Walk for the Animals!

Posted by MissMischief on August 10th, 2007

I’m currently entering my last semester of classes in IU’s Arts Administration program. And while I’m often off fighting the forces of good, and the honor of theater, film, visual arts, museums and more, a girl has to remember the simple pleasures in life, too. Like my kitten, Lottie; she was a stray […]
