Props & Drops: Performative Blogging Edition
PROPS: To IvyGate blogger Maureen O’Connor, whose “Epistolary Drama in Three Acts” follows the cyberfoibles of a famous actress’s quasi-douchebag brother. I won’t give too much away, but know this: it involves a young upstart prompter looking to make it big at a Princeton theatre event, the aforementioned quasi-DB’s intense repulsion for Reply-All, and some hot and steamy OED-citation.
DROPS: To myself, for writing a satirical piece of tripe that pissed off the majority of internet-using Cornellians. Sorry, guys… Next time I decide to write something that’s unnecessarily inflammatory, incredibly insensitive, and cringe-inducingly crass, I’ll send it off to the (now-defunct) Cornell American. (P.S.: I think I’m addicted to adverbs. And parallelism.)
