Retrospecting
In retrospect, the last week or so has been above average in its interesting quotient. 1. Last Thursday night I caught up with Rachel C. (aka “The Only Living Girl in NYC”) for the first time in 2 years and continued to wonder if she and I should just try to switch lives for a […]

I Am Slacker-Pants, Hear me Roar
Well, in the last week since I’ve become a slacker-pants blogger, a few things have happened. 1. Wildfires tore through Westmont college, Montecito, and other areas around Los Angeles. 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, […]

Reflection is Good for You
When I lived in Portugal, I used to take a “day away” once a month to do some reflection, journaling, and general soul-caring. It was a requirement for Young Life’s internship, and for that I am so grateful. I’ve decided to try to start doing this once a month reflection day again. Today is the […]

Things I Learned This Week
1. When home for a short time, protecting time to sleep and to be with family is always the smartest default. 2. Vanilla soy milk + fresh peaches + banana = goodness in a cup. 3. The gas-prices really are hurting people (who do not ride Schwinns) and I should be sensitive to this in […]

Holga, Holga, Holga
For graduation, I received some gift cards from my nice family. Tonight I redeemed one online for a Holga camera. You could say I am a very happy pumpkin. This decision was motivated by the following considerations: 1. Holga-shots are almost always unpredictable. You never know what you’re gonna get. But the blurred edges and […]

You Oughta Know
I do realize that my Sunday streams have been halted for two weeks. Nevertheless, you ought to know: Yes, people are getting healed in grocery stores in America. Jesus is alive and well. And he likes doughnuts. Perhaps prayer fights crime better than McDuff? Even the police think so in Orlando. Oh dear! My family’s […]

Unpicked, Day twelve.
I was torn on day twelve, because I really wanted to post this photo of my room, but the sunset that evening was just too nice. I took this particular photo to point out a few things: 1. Boxes from your new printer and iMac plus colorful Portuguese scarves make for fast, good, cheap shelves. […]

Rachel, Rachel, Roses, Roses.
Three things I read this evening which I deem to be notably funny. (As in, funny “ha-ha,” not funny “oh, gross.”): 1. Rachel Chester’s suggestions on how to improve US airline travel, following her recent trip to Texas. She is a little bundle of texas riot bundled up in NYC. She is also a WordPress […]
