Happy Halloween!

‘Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.
~William Shakespeare
This makes me laugh:
You wouldn’t believe
On All Hallow’s Eve
What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob,
And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake.
~Carolyn Wells
I wish my mommy got me a cool costume like this when I [...]

The Mighty Jungle

Paying homage to my study buddy…who had me provide background vocals while he sang this on our way to Costco.

Reflection

Back in the 8th grade, my teacher had us do a project in our geometry class. It was one of those scenarios where the teacher posed a question, and you were to answer it with a visual (diagram, stick figures, etc.) and a written response, and if you were an over achiever–you’d type it [...]

La Vie En Rose

I’m going to dye them blue!

Quotables

Today in my Vietnamese Heritage class, we had to do a presentation on a city of our choice.  After someone made a presentation on the city of Da Lat, our teacher added a footnote about how it is considered to be the honeymoon capital of Vietnam…

Me (to all of the class): ”What, really?  But I heard that it’s really [...]

UCSD Fallfest 2008 feat. Lupe Fiasco

This past Friday was UCSD’s annual Fallfest, which is a musical event, often featuring well known alternative, hip hop, and rap artists.  It’s not as glamorously played out as Sungod per se, but I personally find the music of Fallfest to be more tasteful.  This year’s line up featured Ben Kweller, We are Lions, and Grammy-winning [...]
