I got back all my marks except the one I handed in yesterday. I did well, I think. I also decided on what I'm doing for my Extended Creative Piece today, and finished all my last-minute shopping before Paris (2 days!) so I think it's been a pretty productive day. Can you believe it's been … Continue reading Nostalgia
Probable Endings and Possible Beginnings
I am currently sitting in the hand-in office at my university. It's busy, and I've just handed in my last piece for my second year. I can't believe it's over so quick! I find myself thinking about this time next year, both excited to get it over with, and hoping it never comes. I'm also … Continue reading Probable Endings and Possible Beginnings
Outfit of the Week: Off-Duty Cheerleader
A plain black t-shirt and denim with a pair of sneakers has been a classic outfit for decades. Upgrade the classic outfit for 2015 by having a black crop-top (New Look) in place of the t-shirt and high-waisted short-shorts (New Look) for the denim. The belt was from New Look and the sneakers are my … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: Off-Duty Cheerleader
(#16) Weeklies
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
