All I can think of is: “People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles.”
I’ve never been to Los Angeles and I’ve never written anything of Ellis’s popularity - ever. Although I have encountered Missouri drivers with suicidal tendencies and hoards of people clamoring for a free tshirt at a sporting event - that’s popularity, right?

Jealousy on Thanksgiving
My brother bought a MacBook Pro.
I am just now testing it out… and oh, how I really did think I had prepared myself for this moment. I thought I could handle the shiny newness… the cold aluminum… and the sleek screen.
But I was wrong!
I think I will have to put this computer down, because really… I’m being disloyal to my white MacBook circa 2007. It’s my...

I can ask all the questions I want in order to obtain the most up-to-date and information possible, but none of what I learn will really make more of a difference between now and then. Why?
I probably know my opinion on the topic I’m so curious about.
I probably have a solid answer ready to be dispersed with.
Just ask me: I’ll give you something immediately.
But I ask questions...

PRC
It started off easily enough, but getting to the Embassy of China is not as clear-cut as one might initially presume.
The first line of defense is the official website to the Embassy of China. Example 1: Website; if that doesn’t stop you in your tracks, then you are more determined than most.
Google doesn’t even know where the Chinese Embassy is. We are not even sure what we...
A Symphonie Fantastique
Shawn and I climbed into his vehicle last night on a mission to get food. It was cold and dreary and we were hungry. Neither one of us wanted to put much effort into actually cooking something edible, but I gave into my guilt complex and drove home a defiant “no” to my hours of debate on the pros and cons of throwing in a pizza.
I had found soup a worthy alternative.
We both came...

Four Days
Two other times this past summer I made a feeble attempt to “go off the grid.” Both times I was not successful… the lure of my phone or computer was simply “too much to handle” and I gave in to their tempting music, connectivity and my subsequent demise into “lalala I can’t hear you I’m on my computer” or “in the zone.”
Last Friday...

…my parents are amazing people. I can only hope that I can show half the perseverance and compassion that they have.
Insulations
This morning was like many others: laying in bed, turning over, burying head in pillow, sinking further beneath covers… and inevitable cold departures onto the wood flooring. After all, days must go on after the night has passed us by.
And it was still raining with temperatures falling to degrees not felt since March. Definitely a jolt to the body if you ask me… so I picked up a few...
