I just can’t quit you
We’re back to my annual period of doubt and waffling, brought on by the first of many emails reminding me to renew my hosting for this blog. Yep, this blog where I so rarely write anything anymore, where the design has basically been broken for years, the blog that appears on my weekend to-do lists […]
Grad school steals your hobbies
I had the pleasure of spending last weekend in sunny L.A., my first time visiting. I went to see a friend from high school, but got the added bonus of meeting his lady and seeing a friend of mine from my summer at the Smithsonian. In between beach time and museums x3 (I’ve been on […]
Distraction-free writing mode
I’ve been thinking about writing a post, any post, even specific posts on specific topics, for months. But blogger apologies are boring. I’ll try to make this one slightly less so. (Maybe?) Logging into WordPress when you’ve been away for a while is a bit like coming back to any hobby after a break: things […]
Catch up
So much has happened in the last few months and I’ve been dying to a) know where things are leading and b) write about it here. I guess most importantly: I got a job! The Monday after graduation, back in May, I started interning four days a week at a large tech company with an […]
Lucky number seven
Seven years ago, I decided to start a blog. Some years it’s been a more prominent part of my life than others, but it’s still one of the best decisions I’ve made. Here’s to another year! Thanks for sticking around, y’all. (photo by me, taken at the Alhambra. Yep, wanderlusting as ever.)
Year-end musings
It seems like December 31 is the year’s most contemplative day, don’t you think? The bug hits me, I’ll admit. I’ve spent the past few days thinking about the year, the pace of which felt a little like this. Even as the light dims this late afternoon (snow is falling!), I’m still hoping to have […]
breakfast – The August Break – day one
Torchy’s Tacos. Austin, Texas. Breakfast. Day One of The August Break. (photo by me this morning)
Final hour thoughts
I’m at the airport, an hour away from commencing my westward migration. Today: to Austin. Two days later: to Montana for almost two weeks. Somehow, tomorrow is August. Despite my best tourist efforts in the last two weeks, much remains that I did not see or do in D.C. Eleven years will not pass between […]
Six years old (the blog, that is)
Six years ago, as I was preparing to move back to Spain, I wanted a means of communicating with people at home, of sharing photos, something beyond group emails. And so I decided, hesitantly, to start a blog. Six years later, that blog has become this space. This blog has taken me from Montana to […]
The end of it all (semester one)
It’s been a slog, these last few weeks of the semester. I pulled an all-nighter for the first time in, oh, a decade or so. I did a couple of presentations and wrote 35 pages of papers and wrapped up a group project and got a new research assistantship, all within a few days. And […]
I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a
