So much stuff had accumulated on and around […]

Best Tokyo Day, Complete with Owl Cafe

Y’all may have gathered that CJ and I recently went to Tokyo and had a simply mah-velous time! While I loved every minute of our trip, Wednesday was definitely the most magical – and it all happened at Ginza. Lunch at Jiro’s That’s right. THE Jiro’s, as in Jiro Dreams of Sushi. It was an […]
U2: The Joshua Tree 2017, Nostalgia, Communitas and Tech

I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good

I dropped off the face of the planet for a little bit because… CJ took me on the BEST DATE EVER. It was a two-day date! He got us passes to watch all eight Harry Potter films in order at a theater. Thornton Place Theater up at Northgate turned it into a pretty awesome event […]
Hope: Turning Shit Into Gold

This photo hangs in a coffee shop near where I work. The quality of the image is lacking – the lights and the glare were really hard to work with – but you can still get the general gist of what’s going on. There’s one woman in the photo and thirteen men. Of the thirteen […]
