I typically think of my bedroom as the one place in the house that is consistently clutter and stress-free.

So much stuff had accumulated on and around […]

Best Tokyo Day, Complete with Owl Cafe
Y’all may have gathered that CJ and I recently went to Tokyo and had a simply mah-velous time! While I loved every minute of our trip, Wednesday was definitely the most magical – and it all happened at Ginza. Lunch at Jiro’s That’s right. THE Jiro’s, as in Jiro Dreams of Sushi. It was an […]
U2: The Joshua Tree 2017, Nostalgia, Communitas and Tech
The Significance of “Being There” Months ago, CJ announced that his friend scored us tickets to the U2’s The Joshua Tree 2017 concert. And I was so excited…but not for the reasons you might expect. I was never a huge U2 fan. Don’t misunderstand; I always liked the songs from The Joshua Tree. However, during […]

But tonight is an exception. Tonight I wanted to write something significant about election day. I wanted to write something conveying how it feels […]
I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good
I dropped off the face of the planet for a little bit because… CJ took me on the BEST DATE EVER. It was a two-day date! He got us passes to watch all eight Harry Potter films in order at a theater. Thornton Place Theater up at Northgate turned it into a pretty awesome event […]
Hope: Turning Shit Into Gold
This photo hangs in a coffee shop near where I work. The quality of the image is lacking – the lights and the glare were really hard to work with – but you can still get the general gist of what’s going on. There’s one woman in the photo and thirteen men. Of the thirteen […]
