Miss Nevada and Friends: In Full Color

Okay you have got to see this. So some of you may have remembered all of the hullabaloo about Miss USA and Miss Nevada. Well the Donald was willing to give Miss USA another chance despite doing drugs, drinking while underage, and kissing Miss Teen USA. But why oh why did Miss Nevada lose her crown.

Click here to see exactly why. WARNING: graphic content. She exposes almost everything, kisses, drinks, etc. Nice! No drugs though. But it was really her two friends that made the scene memorable. Wow the one with that nice baby blue top was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, the owners of the blog won't let people post pictures on their own blogs. Something about legal action or some such. I guess they are trying to make a buck too.

The rumor is that it was one of the girls in the pictures who sent the photos to the media. Hmm you have to wonder if she somehow thought Miss Nevada was not a very good role model or just wanted to make money off some raunchy pictures. Well she tried really hard to get them taken off by saying she was 17 at the time, but she later had to retract that statement when she counted to 19. Oops.

Home for the Holidays

I just finished a day with family. I am in Big D right now celebrating the rest of the holiday. Since I finished all my work until January 2, I have now turning my attention to interview transcriptions. After buying a new cassette recorder for my dad to help, I sat down and got two 60+ minute tapes done in twelve hours. Whom who buys cassette tape recorders anymore. You know they girl at the Circuit City was given me a hassle about why I don't want to go digital. And then just now, my mom couldn't figure out how to pause a movie on the DVR.

I guess we are still blending the old world of analogue with the new digital world when doing qualitative research. I can't imagine if my faculty would even consider the value of blogs or recording using a laptop. Now don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily thing of them as old, but I just don't think many of them realize the technology that today's college students are into. Even more and more graduates students are also getting myspace or facebook accounts.

Well what did I learn from my interviews today. Well participant number seven pointed out two really important things about the law school. First, she pointed out that the law school seems to be a fairly segregated environment with subgroups that remain fairly isolated. She also mentioned that the each law student could benefit from an academic advisor. Hmm, right now I am getting distracted by The Matador. The hit man failed to facilitate properly. Anyway I think I will be able to get another two cassettes done tomorrow.
