If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen a post or two about how Wildheart is open for new members this week, and on sale no less! I found Wildheart last December when I was participating in the Stratejoy Holiday Council. One of the most delightful parts of the Council is all the […]
Last weekend I flew out to Lake Tahoe for a wedding. My grandpa was already going to be driving this way after the wedding, so my mom, sister, and I all tagged along rather than flying back. (Giving my grandma the option to fly back, which she infinitely preferred.) We drove through deserts and blizzards. […]
January is the accepted time to talk beginnings and fresh starts. In January we talk about the new year and the big plans we make as a New Year’s Resolution obsessed culture. Even people who don’t participate tend to make noise about their non-participation. But spring is that too, and all the more so for […]
In the summer of 2012 I got to spend a few weeks in Morocco as part of my graduate program. I wrote some posts about that. I made a short video on an NGO project with two of my classmates and attended a great deal of the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music. While I […]
As I suspect I’ve mentioned a time or twenty, I have a complicated relationship with my current residence. It’s only fairly recently that I’ve even been willing to refer to it as my home town. Calling it my “home town” has a weird feeling to it. It sounds like a fictional story I’m telling. Part […]
Two years ago I spent Thanksgiving harassing my Twitter friends with “#ridiculouslygrateful” tweets and wrote a long post which, in addition to detailing the insane events of the week of my brother’s arrest, I talked about how the week’s lesson was on perspective. A turbulent, stressful week supposedly gave me perspective about the things that […]
In my last post I mentioned my recent trip to Dallas to visit the internet. While hanging out in Dallas with my fellow snark ladies I filmed a few things. I put together a video of said things, principally for the sake of my own future nostalgia-fueled enjoyment. Just in case you’re interested in that […]
Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a “sponsored post.” The company who sponsored it compensated me via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value to write it. Regardless, I make an effort to be honest and transparent with my stories and feelings. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s […]
This blog post is coming to you from my death bed. My death bed, it seems, is a pullout couch in Sherman Oaks, CA. I really had hoped I’d live long enough to watch my best friend get married, but sadly that shall not be. I am afflicted with a very serious case of melodrama […]
It’s We Blog, We Vlog day! Woo! The prompt is to talk about how you’d spend your last few weeks before the end of the world. Here’s my answer. If you’d rather skip that whole video thing, I have a joint-guest post over at Democracy Diva in which we snark the cinematic atrocity that is […]
