ART (and pita bread)

Today started with an early morning trip to the Boca Raton Museum of Art, because Grandma and I had a craving. A craving for Editor's Note: This joke is extra funny with context that The Iron Giant is one of my grandparents' favorite movies of all time, and that we often refer to my grandpa …

The Bachelor in Florida

Hey. Been a while, huh? I've been enjoying my "book writing sabbatical" perhaps a little too much. A lot of my novel has gotten done, but there have been plenty of things over the last month I easily could have blogged about. I was almost completely by myself for three weeks as Mom and Aly …

Schrödinger’s @

This little premise is probably something that could be served better as a brief question on Twitter, but I figured I would pose a more elaborate version on the off-chance I get interesting responses beyond the shelf life of a tweet. It's undeniable that the language of social media has injected itself into our common …

A ten-dollar word worth its weight in gold

Once in a while I like to take a break from delving into a video game or bothering you all about my life and talk about another one of my favorite things: The written word. Unfortunately, this isn't really an update on my Senior Honors Project. I have been working on that a bit recently, …

Reading on Writing Tools

It's funny. After spending three-or-four hours locked away writing this ten-page paper for my Mass Media Ethics class, I looked outside and thought it was so late that I missed my window to write something substantial on my blog. But then I realized it's only 7:00 p.m. (as of the point where I started writing …

Conflating Art and Reality on… Ethics

Very bizarre premise for a blog post, I know. But that's kind of what you get when I spend all day doing homework and can't figure out too much more to write about outside of that homework. It just so happens that today my homework weirdly connected with outside forces. I've been working on the …

Condensation

Once again I'm a bit under the weather. Likely a side effect of the shot I received from the doctor yesterday. So I don't have a whole lot of energy to muster up for this blog post, and I won't be writing too much as a result. Just consider this one of those filler pieces …

Jason and Dara explore ‘America’s Got Talent’

I don't know how exactly I got roped into this, but Mom and I have spent a chunk of the day just streaming through the most recent season of America's Got Talent on Hulu. She said she's watching it because there isn't a whole heck of a lot else on. But also because sometimes you …
