Listening: to more music than I have in a long time! It’s been nice to work in a couple of places this summer where my focus is actually increased by listening to music, and not just the instrumental/foreign/wordless stuff I listened to when writing papers through grad school. I even bought new headphones to mark […]
Three months and counting
It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost two years since I made my move and landed in Austin. And now, in just three months, I’ll be graduating from my master’s program! (insert equal measures of excitement/trepidation/hope/terror) This semester has been the most hectic, by far. I’m trying to apply to jobs but so far […]
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 […]
SXSW
Well, it’s official: SXSW has started. It seems like one of those things that you either hear A LOT about or not much at all. I was sort of surprised when a friend responded “What’s that?” last night, but then I remember that it is weirdly niche. And also huge. Hugely niche? If you live […]
Lifelist check: Counting Crows live
I have never compiled a bucket list, or a 30 before 30 list (though I’m thinking about it, with thirty a little more than a year away!) But, even without formal list making, our little life lists start to develop. I want to see Machu Picchu before I die. And the Taj Mahal. And the […]
Flickr photowalk: Austin
Hard to believe I’ve been in Austin over three months. Things have been pretty quiet around here, largely because being back in school turns out to be pretty time consuming. I’m so busy printing (and, ahem, reading) endless PDFs, teaching classes, writing papers, and generally doing the student thing that I haven’t been much of […]
In just one week
In just one week, everything will be packed and the UHaul will be loaded. That is the reality because it has to be. But when I look around my house, at the total catastrophe of stuff everywhere, and the piles of papers I still haven’t sorted, and just how many things still need to go […]
Pulling from the Pensieve
Ironic that my last post, about finding the time to prioritize writing, was written six weeks ago. It’s quite possibly been the busiest six weeks of my life. Handed over board president reins after a hectic, but I think fairly successful, year. Three weeks in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Sweden. One last week of working. […]
Making my move
After months of wanting to talk about this, of feeling like I was always holding back something I was dying to discuss, I can finally share what’s been so central in my life in the past few months. I’m moving to Austin, Texas in August to start grad school! For the last few years, I’ve […]
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
