Going along the lines of the post from the other day, I found another video I made and uploaded it. Not nearly as good but it was still fun to make and I think it only took me the better part of an hour. I think I ended up winning a gas card or something […]

Comics No More


Blog

Sometime late in high school I started reading web comics–this was in addition to the traditional print comics I read every Sunday in the paper–because I simply love comic strips. This love came back in second grade while visiting my grandparents in Chicago. My grandma gave us each a copy of Calvin and Hobbes: Revenge of […]

The Next Spielberg


Blog

I was recently flipping through my high school year book from senior year. I’ve come a long way. I also completely forgotten that I was voted “Most Artistic” and “Most Likely to be the next Steven Spielberg.” Yeah. Those are related actually. This caused me to dig through my closet and all the digital files […]

The Internet is for Cats


Blog, Cats

I take too many photos of my cat. I’m becoming that guy. I feel less ashamed if I share them with people. Not by shoving my phone in people’s face saying things like, “Look at my cat, isn’t she the most adorable?” No, I choose to show them by either texting them the photos at […]

We both read the menu and it said, “Baby Octopuses” but neither of us thought they’d actually be whole, baby octopuses. She had a few, and I ended up eating most of them. […]

Writing Dilemma


Blog

I mentioned the other day that I’m working on editing my senior thesis from college into a publishable book (more likely a novella, given the length). So far, I’ve taken care of the tedious work of importing it and formatting it nicely in Scrivener but I’m stuck at a standstill now. My problem lies in […]

Travelling Friend, Almost


Blog

A few weeks back, I was excited for Lyuda. She messaged me to let me know that a family living in Chicago had contacted her about an au pair job. For those of you who don’t know, an au pair is typically a young woman who lives in a home and raises the children. For some […]

Working on Publishing


Blog, Writing

Back in college, I needed to put together a senior thesis for my creative writing degree. What came out of that was The Life of Charles Wright. While at the time I wasn’t completely happy with how it turned out, it has recently grown on me. I still think it needs a heavy hand of […]

Which Bond is Best


Blog

After recently seeing James Bond 007 – Skyfall and I want to watch the rest of the James Bond films, in order. Is this a good idea, or a horribly bad one? I’ve really only ever seen the recent Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and From Russia with Love. So this actually could be a bad idea and I don’t […]
