It’s been so long since I posted here I had to change the title to “Casey Henry’s Sorely Neglected Blog.” But by posting here I’m actually procrastinating from writing my Murphy Method blog for tomorrow. See how that works? By writing this I’m actually NOT doing my REAL work. It’s truly staggering how much I get done while avoiding real work.
Today I have two links for you. The first is to this Andy Bernard bobblehead doll! I knew that [Ooooh! Almost burned up my quinoa that was cooking on the stove. Luckily it becomes very fragrant before it actually scorches...] As I was saying, I knew that the actor who plays Andy, Ed Helms, plays banjo because he’s played it on the show. He has even been to the Station Inn in Nashville. On the first episode that he played banjo he was playing a Stelling. On the NBC store page (were you can get a bobblehead for yourself) there is a video and toward the end of it Ed plays a little tune—a duet with his bobblehead. He’s not playing a Stelling in the clip, though I can’t identify the brand. If anyone is looking for a present to get me, this would be a good one.
Next, the blog on which I discovered the bobblehead [Have I used that word enough times yet? I love that word for some reason. Bobblehead.] is written by another Casey Henry. She’s a 24-year-old communications consultant living in Dallas, TX. There’s also a country-singing, real-estate-selling Casey Henry in NYC. And a high school senior in Oklahoma who plays football and baseball and gets mentioned in the Ada, Okla., paper not infrequently. Then there’s the Casey Henry who has caseyhenry.blogspot.com, which I want. I just like to keep tabs on these things.
And one more link for good measure. The Style Rookie, a fashion blog written by 14-year-old Tavi Gevinson. I’m not a fashion fan, but I discovered Tavi through an article in Bitch magazine about why most of the young geniuses who get attention from the mass media are boys. Tavi is a good writer. She conveys pure adolescent enthusiasm while also saying smart, feminist things. Recently she wrote several posts on the now-defunct Sassy magazine, which I was lucky enough to get a few issues of before it folded. A girl after my own heart.
