The internet is a wicked thing. It can help convince you that your headache combined with an ant bite on your toe-web is actually a rare form of cancer. It can ruin your whole day through obsessive learning through a wikipedia link spiral or, less constructively, an entertaining youtube channel. What the internet showed me [...]

This year, in my pursuit of being kinda-Catholic, I am again participating in giving something up for the Lenten season. I think that one of my more controllable flaws that I often choose not to control is my… shall we say… “volatility.” Friends will be (not at all) surprised to learn that I can tend [...]

I borrowed the title of this post from a youtube video by Jenna Marbles on the same topic. It’s hilarious and you should definitely watch it right now… I’ll wait. Go on now. I definitely get Jenna’s point of some girls just wanting to whore it up on the one day of the year where [...]

This Apple rant is brought to you by, oh, I don’t know, like 7 cups of coffee and a slice of pumpkin pie. Ah, to see the world through Apple-colored glasses… I’ve avoided posting on my feelings regarding iphone 5 since my last Apple rant was pretty terrifying, but I’ve just GOTTA do it. [...]

This morning, I received an email from a local movie theater informing me that would be showing The Running Man… yep, THAT Running Man — the awesome one showing Arnold in all his 1987ish glory. Below is an excerpt from the synopsis posted in the email: “After some careful planning and skull-cracking, Richards finds himself [...]

I am ready to lose my shit, you guys. I’m just so tired, nearly exhausted, from reading blog upon blog of speculation on the new iphone that’s coming out and its possible delicious new features. A new round of this happens every 6 months or so, and I am getting terribly tired of the fuss [...]

From my experience, San Antonio is not a great city to be in if you enjoy sharing the road with good drivers. Between the problems of our roads being completely devoid of any logical grid system and drivers that have a taco in one hand and a Big Red in the other, we are mostly [...]

Ok. First off, I know this is a huge thing to blog about right now, as if you do a search for my post title, about 40000 search results come up. That’s alright, though, as I don’t care. This post wasn’t in my planned post timeline (yes, there is a sort of sordid method, believe [...]

I learned a bunch of things that you’re supposed to learn in art school: kerning, font things, all about color palletes, sautering, patinas, screen printing, and the best ways to make spray mount actually stick when you want it to. This is all pretty important, but the learning that I’m talking about — the kind [...]

Last Friday night, I went with a few friends to a Nico Vega and She Wants Revenge show down at the White Rabbit. I learned about the show that afternoon, and since I heart Nico Vega, I wanted to go to there. I’m a pretty huge disaster emotionally if I don’t have tickets in-hand for [...]
