Okay, so these are quickly turning into Bi-Weeklies, but you know what? I really don't think anyone cares. I don't. Let's continue, shall we? Food: Salad. I often underestimate the deliciousness of salads, but I had a couple of good ones this past week, and have found a new appreciation for them. TV Show: Chuck. … Continue reading (#16) Weeklies
The Fault in Fairy Tales
I'm supposed to be polishing up a final draft of my Textual Intervention piece right now. "Textual Intervention" is basically a fancy way of saying fan-fiction. Last semester, this is what I did for Textual Intervention. This semester, the genre we're working on is fairy tales. Instead of turning a fairy tale into something completely … Continue reading The Fault in Fairy Tales
The Character Issue
So I have this character, let's call him Character X, and he's fantastic, okay? I barely had to do anything, he just came barging into my story, fully-formed. Well, not exactly barging. He was just sitting there politely, watching the story happen and eating popcorn, but then he saw something he didn't like, so he stood … Continue reading The Character Issue
Egg-Filled Pepper
This is the third post I've started today. Third time's the charm, right? Quick and easy is how I like cooking. Yay for a picture I found somewhere on the internet (I forget where) that looked like it was both. So I tried out my own variation of the internet-famous "Egg-Filled Pepper" and had a lovely … Continue reading Egg-Filled Pepper
Outfit of the Week: The Professional
Hope you guys had a great weekend! Kicking off the posts this week will be the outfit I wore to my pitch presentation for my Scriptwriting class. It's professional and still fashion-forward without being too wild or distracting, so it would make a good work outfit. We were told it would be best to wear … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: The Professional
The Avengers: Age of Ultron
Spoiler Free! Well, that was a thrilling exit from the series by writer and director Joss Whedon. It was great. It even passed the Bechdel test (I think?) and had a decent amount of diversity (by Hollywood’s standards, so don’t get too hopeful). The plot was complicated for a movie so it took some effort … Continue reading The Avengers: Age of Ultron
Book Review: The Book Thief
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. No Spoilers. I've been meaning to read this book for years. I first picked it up in twelfth grade. I had been on a streak of Holocaust stories including The Diary of Anne Frank, Hanna's Briefcase, and Yellow Star. It blew my mind (and still does) at the scale of destruction … Continue reading Book Review: The Book Thief
The All-Nighter
I was going to post a review of The Book Thief today, but I'm trying to correct my sleeping patterns. They've gotten progressively worse as I've stayed up later and later without any 9am classes to wake up for. Yesterday I had the bright idea to just stay up all night until 9pm, but then … Continue reading The All-Nighter
Oven-Baked Chicken
I finally bought an oven tray last week and I decided to try it out. The thing was, I didn't really know any recipes that required an oven tray, which begs the question, why did I buy it? Well, it can't be that hard to make something up, right? Right. So I made up a … Continue reading Oven-Baked Chicken
Outfit of the Week: The Romper
The Romper: high fashion or passing fad? To be honest, I didn't really care when I tried on this one from New Look. I saw it on a mannequin and immediately liked it. Palm leaf print is today what pineapple print was yesterday. It gives off that Hawaiian vibe and makes me think of sitting in … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: The Romper
