Resolved, and Coming Soon: Advent in 140 Words
I promise to stop talking about Twitter, soon. But talking in no more than 140 characters at at time has been helping me clear my thoughts a lot lately. Tonight I’m meeting up with Elise, Arianna, Cari, and Allyson in West Hollywood to hear Over the Rhine, the only band, to date, whose live music […]

Sweet Obama Graffitti, Batman
I found this photo because it was posted by a pretty good cyclist named Lance that I follow on Twitter. I like it. (Who cares if it was likely just photo-shopped?) from @lancearmstrong’s Twitpics

[vimeo 2275324] by Patrick Lawler on Vimeo. He writes: November 2008 A fire broke out in the mountains above Santa Barbara California. I took my video camera up 2 days in a row and got all the footage I could before I got in trouble with the police for not having a press pass.

Raining / Pouring / An Old Man Somewhere is Snoring
Whilst trying to be a full-time grad student (RE: Theology), I am also attempting to be a small-business entrepreneur (RE: Copywriting/Editing). In my off-mornings I am a barista. And to cool-down in the afternoons I play dodgeball and tutor middle school students at a local non-profit. I’ve had an uncanny amount of work with the […]

Happiness Is
Happiness is being up too late with warm beverage in hand, sifting through the borders of Europe to find two of your old roommates on Skype. Catching up in between 8 or 9 time zones is more brilliant than I can explain. Jasmin, waking in Portugal; Jane, waking in Prague. And me, up horrendously late […]

RE: iPhone Apps; Let’s Just Say
Just found on the Apple apps storefront: Let’s just say that new iPhone / iPod touch applications are flooding in, as we speak. And it’s getting a little awkward / absurd.

I Am Slacker-Pants, Hear me Roar

Scary because there are a whole host of people that I deeply love in these places. 2. I found out what it was like to SMS, […]

My People React to the News
I’m not sure which is my favorite reaction: 1. Filippo’s “oh mamma mia,” or 2. The bit about Obama being a real postmodern, 3. Obama encapsulating what non-Americans understand as the American dream. From ABC International News: In Italy, Romans on the street this morning were openly excited by the results. Drinking their coffees and […]
