Haiti action

January 22nd, 2010

Lots of thoughts (and actions) among Wichita blogs concerning the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti.
Shea encouraged [pushed] and cajoled [demanded] everyone she could to help Ross and Jami connect with Alex, the boy they are in the process of adopting. Start here and follow the posts from there to relive the drama. It includes [...]

NaNoWriMo

October 31st, 2009

It’s time for National Novel Writing Month. Six bloggers (that I am aware of) are committed to producing a novel by the end of November.
To Explain How I Got Here
Sara Wagner Yost
The Wilson Triplets
RedSwann of Kansas
Shades of Grey
The Raven’s Mutterings
Let me know if there are any other local bloggers who have taken the pledge.

RedSwann is now listed on Amazon

July 16th, 2009

Her writing is part of a soon to be published anthology that you can now preorder at Amazon.com. This is way cool!

Wooed by WU

April 20th, 2009

WU Shock does a lovely thing. The old heap of straw never looked better.

For Proust it was a taste

March 13th, 2009

For RedSwann it was a cold day.

Thanks for the memories

February 26th, 2009

RedSwann pauses at the end of the Shocker’s basketball season to say “thank you” to the seniors.

She’ll take the win

January 26th, 2009

It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t dominating. But the Shocker Men’s basketball team led at the end and that is what matters for RedSwann.

RedSwann goes black, Bluejays beaten

January 20th, 2009

The Shocker men beat Creighton. Black is now the official lucky color for RedSwann.

The best amateur sports blogger in Wichita

January 16th, 2009

RedSwann of Kansas. She actually talks about sports, feels strongly about her teams, has a take and doesn’t suck.

What’s a Shocker to do?

January 9th, 2009

Patience is called for, just as it was in the Scott Thompson era. And the Mike Cohen era. And the Randy Smithson era. RedSwann finds it a comfortable place to be.

It keeps getting worse

January 8th, 2009

RedSwann bemoans the male, basketball variety, Shockers latest header into the shallow end of Missouri Valley play. And this post was up before the Southern Illinois loss last night. More sadness is assured.

Finally, a fan

January 5th, 2009

The lack of passionate sports bloggers in Wichita is a puzzlement. RedSwann fills the void admirably with a dissection of the Shocker loss to Creighton. She even follows the time-honored tradition of matching up the opposing coach with a less-than-complimentary celebrity look alike.

Six Random Facts: Musicality edition

November 18th, 2008

RedSwann’s wing person and beak polisher uhhhh, RedSwann.
Heavy Metal, metal bells, bells of Christmas and Walt’s Bar and Grill.

Boo-Shock o’lantern

October 31st, 2008

Which is more scary, Wushock or Charles Manson? Consider carefully.

Closure?

October 17th, 2008

The saga of JCrew, horrendous customer service, RedSwann and the suit began here.
Then there was the struggle with the moral implications of dealing with crappy service.
Now there is a package in the hall.

I’ll bite

September 30th, 2008

Best hamburger in Wichita? RedSwann has her favorites but nominations are open if you know some place better. Type of the better burger in her comments.

The heart of a boy

September 15th, 2008

Is the reason RedSwann loves her man.

Keep the suit

September 11th, 2008

Horrible customer service,continued imposition on your time and good graces, and you’re not sure you can accept their apology? Good Lord Man! Do it for all of us who get hateful customer service and double billings. Do it for all of us who are STILL waiting for our order. And most of all, do it [...]

Pre-Halloween Book Review

September 9th, 2008

Its the classic, Dracula. No George Hamilton.

RedSwann Read Ratings

September 8th, 2008

Like any good lover of English she uses alliteration to make her approach memorable. First up: The Country of the Pointed Fir.

Hey RedSwann! We are waiting.

September 5th, 2008

Don’t throw out three books you have recently read and then refuse to share what you thought about them. That is like making us smell the popping popcorn then refusing to share.
We know you are in school and these books are part of the project so share whatever you wrote for school. Tell us what [...]

It takes one to know one

August 27th, 2008

And I know a book-aholic when I see one. RedSwann aggravates all those looking for their next book bender by putting out a list of books she is reading for school this semester.
Must resist.

Shoe time sounds better than school time

August 26th, 2008

The start of another school year is the signal for all sorts of wonderful things; a new beginning, football season, leaves to rake and new clothes. Or, in RedSwann’s case, new shoes.

RedSwann is in love with 80 men, all of them players

August 23rd, 2008

But her list will be whittled down to 53 by August 30th. Not counting coaches and former players of course.
At least it’s not the Cubs.

Blogger fight!

August 15th, 2008

Ok, not a fight. But it has potential if somebody will just let their emotions take over.
RedSwann goes to the Black Crowes concert at the Cotillion and LOVES it. She mentions a not-so-positive review in the online Eagle but refuses to link to it because it is so, “not worth the effort”.
But that’s no music [...]

The 50th Anniversary of the Dockum Sit-in

August 14th, 2008

A report on the celebration. The rain did not stop the march or the spirit of the day.
here are some thoughts on the Dockum protest that didn’t happen, but should’ve.
