New Favorite TV Show: Portlandia

This is it. Thanks to a recommendation from my Aunt Ellen, I’ve found my new favorite TV show: An Independent Film Channel original series from executive producer Lorne Michaels, Portlandia is a hilarious satire about all things Portland, Oregon. The show’s stars, Carrie Brownstein and SNL’s Fred Armisen, are a fantastically comedic duo. Continue reading

Nicolas Cage, I stopped liking you after 1987.

Who would have thought that this man would be able to push his wife, punch a few cars, and then dare the cops to arrest him? Certainly not me. Continue reading

A Good Ol’ Sunday Matine

I had already been to the beach multiple times in the past week and my skin was beginning to look like Magda’s from “There’s Something About Mary” so yesterday my mom and I decided to go to a movie. There weren’t many viable options. We had to choose between “Limitless” and “Red Riding Hood.” We… Continue reading

Kaffir Boy

I just finished reading “Kaffir Boy” by Mark Mathabane and let me tell you: wow. I actually cried at the end. Tears of joy, mind you. A friend of mine read it when he was in high school and never turned it back in. I guess you could call that stealing? Regardless, the theft was… Continue reading

Adventures in Bill Collecting

I have joined the ranks of the unemployed once again. Let me regale you with the tale of my most recent escapade into the frightening and confusing world of work. It started the same way most of my jobs begin: with sheer desperation. I went over to a friend’s house one Friday night about a… Continue reading

Art o’ Mine

I have some pictures of my artwork that have been taking up space on my camera since before Thanksgiving. I figured it was time to show them off blog-style. This is a piece that I did for my friend Shannon. I started with a 22×30 inch piece of watercolor paper and stained it with yellow… Continue reading

The WordPress Challenge

Since I started this blog back in the Fall of 2009 for a Writing for the Web class at SCAD, I have found that the more I post, the more creative I get and the better I feel. That is why, as one of my New Year’s resolutions, I have chosen to participate in the WordPress… Continue reading

Holiday Hellride

I sit in the car as it idles. I glance down furtively at my phone as if there will be some message that reads “turn back”. But I’ve come too far, I think to myself. So I turn the key, open the door to the biting cold and step out onto the grass. I trek… Continue reading

“In My Time of Dying”

By now I’m sure that most people in my social network and in my personal life have figured out that my relationship status has gone from “in a relationship” to “single.” Not to make light of the situation, but everyone knows that when it happens on Facebook, it’s really official. {Currently listening to Neil Young:… Continue reading
