My sophomore year of High School, I was part of the Yearbook staff. It was technically a class, and our teacher was this terrifying/amazing woman Who Had Done Everything and also taught Advanced 9th Grade English (which I'd taken with her the year before) and World History (for sophomores, so I was also in that class).

As my twelfth year drew to a close, my father introduced me to Girl Genius (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/). Back then it was still a print comic, with only the first issue available on the Studio Foglio website to entice new readers.

I don't know if it would have done that had I heard it alone before watching it, but ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm prefacing this with a mild disclaimer; this is a very personal look at several songs. It is heavily influenced by my life experiences and attitudes; I'm not saying "this song is inspirational" or "this song fails to inspire" flat-out: I am saying this song or that song inspires, or fails to inspire,meThis is also just the songs/videos ( Read more... )
