Alumni business

While a lot of this happened yesterday, I spent extra time throwing things together for a more fleshed out blog post now. Just after Graduation a few weeks ago, I joined the Cal State Fullerton Alumni Association. https://twitter.com/jdrochlin/status/1130923180040736768?s=21 See? Tweeted and everything to prove it. After a good amount of time spent resting, helping with …

A car full of spaghetti

If I was quiet this weekend it's because I've been immobile outside of family chores, and I didn't think a second post about running the Burbank Ikea circuit would be very exciting. The immobility comes from car troubles that have plagued me since early last week and at one point derailed my blog into a …

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 …

Statistically surpassing 2017

About three days ago, the amount of views my blog has accrued this year surpassed the total from 2017. With a lead-in sentence like that I'm sure you're expecting this post to be an exercise in prideful self-fellatio. To an extent I suppose it is, but part of the reason why it's cool is because …

The last Comm Awards

It has been a long 12-hour day, so let's keep this brief. Tonight was the Department of Communications Awards Ceremony for the year of our lord 2019. Last year I attended the ceremony with Mom and had a great time. Won a few scholarships while I was at it. Only my Mom was able to …

Evolving at level 22

A week ago, I lamented the passage of time after buying my graduation regalia from Titan Shops:     https://twitter.com/jdrochlin/status/1118621610863284224?s=21 You might remember this as, "that thing that happened before I wrote about the SPJ meeting with Sonya Quick." But that brief moment of panic wasn't actually all that brief. Buying the cap and gown …

Racking up hours

I promised something more exciting than hang-out escapades at the end of my post yesterday, but let's just say I never got around to doing anything more exciting. To be fair I made "more exciting" impossible by staying up until 1:30 a.m. playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice with my boys, finally learning why people love From …

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 …

Perusing the RUHS Archives

Editor's Note: On March 26, 2019 I made a few corrections to dates throughout this post after the RUHS Archivist, Therese Martinez, offered some notes. Now the piece should hopefully be even more accurate. Sometimes work can take you to unexpectedly interesting places. In my perpetual search for Gladeo interviewees (because internship hours), today I took …
