Stars full of Jazz in 2019

Last year I wrote a post about Alyson's end-of-year Jazz Under the Stars concert. It's a yearly event that is a lot of fun because you get to see the students at their peak and raise some money for the arts. But this year Jazz Under the Stars was a bit more hectic for the …

Tribute to well-worn clothing

I wound up lingering around the house today in lieu of some planned activities because of unexpected car troubles. Instead I did some chores around the house. Mainly blowing through this mountain of laundry I've avoided for too long. While doing so I had to confront that age-old question of what you do when something …

Post-Grad socials

There are a lot of things to do after you graduate from college. An obvious example is looking for jobs. But what do you have to do before you look for jobs? The smart folks in my audience will say you have to cultivate a strong set of marketable skills to entice and/or fool employers …

Under pressure

I told myself I wasn't going to do this. "It's too cliché," I said. "Everyone will make fun of you for capitalizing on a wave of popularity." But you know what? This is my blog and I can do whatever I want. Also, I couldn't come up with anything substantial enough to be a feasible …

Unraveling more YouTube recommendations

You can spin this blog post today one of two ways. Perhaps this is a public service for all of those affected by the over 10-hour Facebook outages that affected the social media platform and its company's holdings (including Instagram and WhatsApp) for some reason other than a denial-of-service attack — an issue which they, in …

A symmetrical birthday

Another year, another trip around the sun. Turning 22 doesn't offer nearly as many significant things to talk about as the 'milestone' 21, where drinking and properly oriented drivers' licenses were officially on the table. I won't be starting this post off with a deep, important-sounding remark on the different milestones one hits in life. …

Webcomics worth a watchful eye

Oh boy, this is a topic I've wanted to dive into for some time! I consume a lot of media. Movies. Books. Video games. Podcasts. YouTube videos. But also webcomics, which is a subject I haven't had too many occasions to touch on despite it being one of my favorites. The closest I've gotten was briefly …

Death by 1,000 Cuts

I've come to really appreciate the gym as a solid source of stress relief on days like today. Life can't all be fun and polling places after all. I may have gotten an initial high by doing my civic duty and voting, but that was a very small fraction of the day right when the …

The prophesied social media expansion

At this point, making new social media accounts really just feels like I'm splitting my soul into more horcruxes. Yeah as a bunch of my friends have likely now noticed, I made myself an Instagram account today. Deep down it hurts to have further compromised my anti-social media stance of personal morality... But my boss …

Updating my Life

Check out that artsy Featured Image. Pretty great, huh? Obviously today I'm planning on talking about my social media accounts a little. Any really observant, dedicated readers of this blog will likely remember that my post last night ended with my thoughts regarding updating the descriptions and such on my various accounts. Those descriptions, everything from …
