LIZZIE
Well, Jane and I are feeling quite official as book reviewers now–seems our piece last year on Kevin Roose’s Unlikely Disciple was unearthed by a marketing director at Henry Holt Publishing. And, as a result, …
Lizzie and Jane are on the cusp of GenX. We continually search for our spot (past and present) in the great game of generational generalization.
Spirituality as continually redesigned by Lizzie and Jane
Lizzie and Jane’s brewing stew of back and forth trouble that hasn’t yet been loosed upon the world…
Because there’s nothing you can’t put on a list
Everything else Lizzie and Jane are thinking about…
What I learned from Holden Caulfield, whom I got to know in Mrs. Levinson’s 11th-grade English class (where Jane sat a few seats behind me, by the way)…. As a reader: An honest-to-goodness unreliable narrator is my favorite kind of narrator. Because, after all, isn’t every narrator unreliable when you get right down to it?

Jane At the end of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, HBO aired the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 25th Anniversary concert. I usually approach these sort of things with a modicum of wary disdain …
Dear Readers, Wow, it’s been a long time since we’ve been here. We both miss you, and posting here, terribly. Jane and I talk over the phone fairly frequently, and in amidst our respective trials …

LIZZIE Dear Brooke, I first “met” you when we were both 12 years old. I was sitting in my orthodontist’s office, getting ready for the next wire-tightening that would rein in the ambitious, odd-angled …
JANE I love to read. I don’t get to read as much as I’d like, because I am a mom. Laugh all you will, but I miss my hour long commute into The City by …
While we are posting fun videos… This is one of my all time favorite YouTube videos. How could you not be happy, bouncy and full of smiles, listening to and watching this? …
then you’ll enjoy the stylized, exuberant (and ever so slightly edgy) illustrations of Mike Baker. Mike is helping Jane and me to do something fun (and of course Pandora-ish) with our comment gravatars. I (Lizzie) …
JANE Here’s the thing about Lizzie’s and my criticizing things on Facebook that are just plain wrong: Lizzie is far more discerning and intelligently, constructively critical about Facebook activity (and probably Facebook in general, sigh). …

Jane: So Lizzie, how has the past week been for you? We’ve both been busy and spoken/texted a bit less than usual. I’ve been feeding my internet/news fix with all sorts of interesting observations and …
