Last year, Mrs. M and I formed the Anti-Croc Coalition. Since then, I was dismayed to see the leader of the free world wearing the hideous shoes and a growing acceptance of them in fashionable corners of this country.
Just like McDonalds and Starbucks, Crocs have invaded the UK.
I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry. There are [...]

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Posted in Tennessee, UT, Vols, football on August 30, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Warning: It’s the time of year when my blog is overtaken by a rapid, orange-wearing football fanatic who starts randomly singing Rocky Top and declaring that all teams outside the SEC are wimpy mockeries of the hallowed game of football.
For those of us counting down until UT kicks off the 2007 season against California on [...]
Blog Makeover

If there was ever a blog in need of a makeover, it is this headerless thing.
I’ve been working on a new one sporadically over the past few weeks. Since I’m a perfectionist without programming knowledge, it’s likely to be a perpetual work in progress. Thus, the official unveiling of Adrienne’s new home on the web.

What’s left to say about Katrina? The post that I wrote two years ago still captures [...]

A Gift for The Ultimate Communication Nerds
Posted in PR/Marketing, grad school on August 29, 2007 | 2 Comments »
For those of us who are masochistic enough to pursue a PhD knowing that it will actually decrease our earning potential, here’s the National Communication Association’s 2004 PhD program rankings.
Yep, I’ve decided to pursue a doctorate. I want three letters after my name instead of two. Plus my GRE scores are only good for two or [...]
Politicizing Modesty
Posted in faith, fashion, politics on August 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
After a decades of taking it off, is being modest now hip?
Ypulse, Boundless, and Carolyn McCully have mentioned the growing “Modesty Movement.”
Culturally, this makes sense. Islam is a growing force in the world, and Hollywood has proven the economic power of Evangelical Christians. To varying degrees, both of these religions advocate women dressing modestly.
Personally, I’m [...]
