Rain, Rain, Go Away...
Outside, the California rain comes down heavy like weighted bubbles, bursting as they hit the ground with loud splishes and splashes, creating pools and lakes at any given dip in the ground. I hate it. I'm pretty sure. People react to rain in all sorts of ways down here, most rejoicing in it. As for me, I despise it. Because when it rains here, it ( Read more... ) -
Lots and Lots, Part III
Final stop: End of May through now!
Home Chillin’
Once I got home, I showered up, unpacked a little, did all that fun stuff, was gonna eat dinner with my sis and all her friends, but opted out in favor of Krystal’s churches college age volleyball fun night. I GOT TO SEE ISSEY PUPPY! Awwww… She took a second to recognize me, but she did, and I knew ( Read more... ) -
Lots and Lots, Part II
This is the month of May since I’ve last updated…
Responsibility Theft!
Oh yeah, I failed to mention that during Spring Break, I lost my wallet. Sucks. I was at the movie theater and, you know, it’s painful after a while sitting on it, so I took it out and slipped into my jacket pocket. Later, I realized I didn’t have it. I checked Dan Parris’ car ( Read more... ) -
Lots and Lots, Part I
2 1/2 months since last time's update. MUCH has happened. I’m gonna split this up in 3 parts… it’s gonna be loooong. WARNING! J This one will be the rest of March through April.
Right after I last updated, I went on a floor retreat.
Floor Retreat

Lost, But Found?
Hey everybody (all 2 of you?), I know I'm due for a HUGE update, but I thought in the meantime, I would post an email I wrote to my mentor, Jon Rittenhouse, last night... About my time in Boston this past weekend, where I went to see my sister graduate (finally!) :) Just a sort of reflection. To preface, I plan on doing a documentary this winter ( Read more... ) -
A Song
So it's been a crazy/beautiful long time (not really, it's just an obscure irrelevant film reference) since I last updated, and I figured I'd chop a little of the top off from the impending huge update with this song that I wrote a couple weeks ago...
Today I saw things were a little blurry
Maybe it was the world that saw me wrong

Extra Extra! The Mission of Saving Mentors With Female Friends
Let's try to keep this short... since last time:

Evangelizing the Fest of Teen Raptor, in the Play of Date^3
Wow, it sure doesn't seem like it's been a month since the last update...
Gyrad
Yep, our floor had a Gyrad on the 16th of last month, where we did a Photo Scavenger hunt at the Spectrum at Irvine... the 3 girls Alex asked for me were all busy, so my awesome friend, Stefanie, went with me... it was good times! That place is huge and there's a lot of ( Read more... ) -
Annie, Get Your Opportunity, and Your Mom, Too!
I figured I'd write about this now while I have a little time so the next update won't be so massive...
First!
Monkeys in the news:
At the Little Rock, Ark., Zoo, a female chimpanzee named Judy escaped her enclosure, walked into a restroom, grabbed a brush and cleaned the toilet.
For the second time in two months, a female bonobo pulled the fire ( Read more... )

Sundance Reviews -- Features
Grade: C+
-Trade
A Mexican girl, Adriana, is taken from the streets and forced into sex trafficking. Her brother, Jorge, does what he can to rescue her. Featuring mostly strong performances and moments of heart-breaking emotion, Trade was a well-done, powerful film.
What I found problematic with the film was the script’s ( Read more... )
