Seattle and Vancouver

This post should have happened months ago but it’s better late than never. I took a trip to Seattle back in January and had an amazing time.  It was always cloudy, but I managed to master the bus system so I didn’t get too wet.  The sun set too early for my taste, but it …

Age Songs

It has been a loooong time since my last post.  I don’t feel like giving a life update, because this next post is much more fun! So when I was 18, I came up with this idea of age songs.  Age songs were meant to loosely represent a year of my life, and my current …

My media profile

The job search has not treated me well, and I can feel my brain rotting from lack of productivity.  I’m reading a bajillion books at once to help keep me busy.  (I don’t know if that’s good or bad but it has worked out so far!) My introverted nature revels in the solitude of this …

Dairy, You have forsaken me

I think I’ve discovered that my body can’t tolerate lactose, which is certainly disagreeable to my dairy-loving nature.  Most dairy at least.  I stopped drinking milk regularly years ago and I no longer have a taste for it, although I do enjoy the occasional chocolate milk.  I much prefer milk alternatives like soy, almond, and …

Wherigo and traveling

I did my first Wherigo cache a few weeks back in Government Canyon State Natural Area.  I’ll do my best to explain it since I’ve only done one.  It took forever to figure out how to get the cartridge on my phone, which is the best platform I have for this sort of cache.  Basically …

2011

Quite an interesting year.  I graduated from TX State with my Bachelors degree, ready for a break but pretty naive.  Failed to ride my bicycle on an epic adventure; I wasn’t prepared for it. Lost some friendships and rekindled others.  Broke up with a guy I would love to hate but I’m too mature for …

Cosmos: Episode 5

So much for watching Cosmos by the end of November….let’s shoot for before the end of the year! Episode 5 was dedicated to Mars and its exploration.  Early astronomers thought they saw canals on the surface of Mars, which to them was obvious evidence of life.  Mars rovers demonstrated that Mars was definitely inhospitable….at the …

Month 1–Doubt

My days are clouded by doubt. My mind is tormented by the thought of losing you. My life feels incomplete, My future very uncertain. My previous ideas are no longer thought. My mistakes are my own. My stomach still tenses. My heart still bleeds. My belief still is that you are what I need.

Cosmos: Episode 4

So I have failed trying to watch every episode in a week so new goal: watch all of Cosmos this month! This episode involved lots of comet stories. “The Tunguska event, or Tunguska blast or Tunguska explosion, was an enormously powerful explosion that occurred near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, …

Cosmos: Episode 3

Astrology and Astronomy were once united in popular culture and remained so in the eyes of the church and scientists such as Ptolomy.  It wasn’t until the end of the Dark Ages was this no longer the leading thought.  In this episode, Sagan tells the biography of Kepler, the man who quantitatively defined eliptical planetary …
