Minor Pleasures
As a Stanford grad student and semi-professional teacher, I've gotten pretty used to having something that vaguely resembles an "adult" lifestyle. Independent living has taught me that it's the smaller details of everyday life that are most satisfying. SUCH AS...

Stupid Things, #81: The Soulmate Detector
Listening to the "Love" soundtrack again in my car, I recalled the height of my delayed Beatlemania during the final 2 years of college. I was completely insane back then. At the time, I listened to the Beatles more than I listened to my own parents. Mom and dad told me to be a pharmacist while Lennon-McCartney told me "Love is all you need!" It ( Read more... ) -
Welcome Back, Frank
Well hellooo livejournal. Long time no see! I'm back after a brief sojourn at blogger. And even if you include that ill-advised jump, I still haven't blogged in close to a year, which is unbelievable.

Some time ago, some LCC buds and I registered for the Insomnia Film Festival -- an apple.com-sponsored film competition in which student filmmakers would have 24 ( Read more... ) -
A Day in the Life
I think I haven't been writing in this thing lately because I've had to write about my feelings enough for my intro to Sociology class this quarter. That's too bad, because it's my last year of college and so far I'm really enjoying it. I'm definitely enjoying it more than I thought I would, at least.
Charming Beatles Research
