And Yes I've Done It Again
The title to this post is quite appropriate. I just got through my semestre -- well the difficult part that is. This semestre I wanted to focus on Arabic. I wanted to also take a break from school; but I need to be enrolled in school to be employed. So I decided to take Arabic solely so I could focus all my school attentions on the one subject ( Read more... ) -
Little Dragon
I fucking love Little Dragon. They're a new(ish) band. They're GREAT. My coworker suggested them to me and then I lucked out it was kismet i say cos Starbucks had them for a free download the same week. I heard one song and bought the album. I do not regret the purchase, and it's rare that I buy music these days.
I'm finally truly a graphic ( Read more... ) -
Job
So, it seems at work that I'm getting more and more responsibilities which is both a good thing and a not-so-truely-bad thing. When the director's secretary was out on medical leave, then I was given most of her duties. Part of those were HR stuffs, so now I'm part of HR machinations. I'm also supposed to be getting some position where I am her ( Read more... ) -
2010 Reflections
1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before?
Ride the Hogwarts ride at Harry Potter section in Universal Studios. Cussed out a counselor at UMD, and raised hell in that office. Made prints galore in my printmaking class, and started making sculptures out of slinkies.
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more ( Read more... ) -
The Flow Has Begun Again
I'm writing again and it feels so good. I've had months..........months without writing. Not an intro, not an idea, not even a sketch of an idea. School became extremely busy, and my drama with University of Maryland extremely trying, and I realized that I hadn't really done anything writerly. I hadn't even been on my publishing and writing and ( Read more... ) -
Been so long
Hi LJ,

Maureen
So, I started a couple of months ago writing a story about a woman named Maureen. I haven't written at all for a very long time in general. Just yesterday, I started writing more of Maureen's story. It's not a lot, but there is such a depth of emotion that I've never experienced before when I'm writing in Maureen's voice. I know most of it has ( Read more... ) -
Sickliness and Professor Seed
I have some sort of cold that I got right after my visit to New York. I'm not sniffling anymore; nor do I have a runny nose anymore, but I still can't talk above a whisper and its really annoying.
My visit to NYC was fun. I stayed at Juju's. I had a reunion with most of the main cast from Semestre at Sea. Those in the cast who couldn't make it ( Read more... ) -
Funerals with Happiness
So, my friend from high school, Terry died last week. There was a viewing yesterday, and his funeral is about 8 hours from now. I know I don't view death, dying, funerals and like as most -- I don't know -- seem to think that one should. I'm sad about Terry's dying, deeply hurt, and so sorry for his family, but I've been laughing and smiling. I ( Read more... ) -
Snowmaggedon
Ours is now
A monotonous world
Full of whites
And grays and darks
Sky blends with trees
The trees with the ground
And homes and cars
It all becomes a blanket
Of snow -- unyielding snow
That freezes and hangs
That falls and annoys
As the world inside
Grows as monotonous
As the outside
We are all trapped.
