I like to tell people that I don’t believe in the concept of “falling in love”–that true love isn’t something you fall into, it’s something you grow into. The thing you fall into is called “infatuation,” which by itself doesn’t last long. It’s happened to me many times, and look at how single I am.… Continue reading Falling in love: does it actually happen?

Thoughts on future career
Just a few quick, scattered thoughts before I run off to work. Working a desk job has convinced me that if at all possible, I want to make my full time living as a novelist. I don’t see myself doing what I’m doing in this internship for the rest of my life, or even for… Continue reading Thoughts on future career
How Avatar should have ended
Before I came out to Washington DC, I saw Avatar in the theaters. AWESOME movie. Loved the concept, loved the characters, LOVED the science fiction elements and how well they were woven into the story. However, like much of the stuff that comes out of Hollywood, I was disappointed with the ending. It felt too… Continue reading How Avatar should have ended
New city, new life, new writing project
This is going to be a quick post (very quick), since it’s 1:00 am and I am TIRED. FYI, it might not be edited all that much. What the heck–it’s my blog anyway. So today I left home to move into the Barlow Center for the Washington Seminar! Took the train (Dad had an… Continue reading New city, new life, new writing project

Christmas break 2009
Christmas was great this year! I spent it in Texas, with my extended family–the family on my dad’s side, who I almost never see. The break has been a lot of fun so far! No school or work obligations, lots of time to lay back and relax, plenty of games to play and books to… Continue reading Christmas break 2009
Finishing and beginning
Classes for this semester are over, I’ve turned in all my papers, taken all my exams but one, and now I feel like I have this giant void in my life. I was walking around on campus today with literally no idea where I was going or what I should do. It was…strange. With school… Continue reading Finishing and beginning
Must…build…momentum
Man, nothing throws a kink in your writing life like a major paper. This semester, I’ve got the mother of all undergraduate papers to write–the CAPSTONE. Interestingly enough, I’ve been having a lot of fun with mine. A lot. I’ll spare you the gory details, but basically my capstone is a statistical study of the… Continue reading Must…build…momentum
Thoughts on World Fantasy 2009
Since it’s been a couple of days since World Fantasy 2009, I guess I should share some of my thoughts before life starts pulling me in other directions. First of all, I was surprised at how similar it was to LTUE, CONduit and other convention/symposium events I’ve already attended. The basic format was the same:… Continue reading Thoughts on World Fantasy 2009
I <3 Lunasa
Lunasa is an Irish folk music band–one of the best that I know. If you haven’t heard of them, you should check them out. I mean, at the very least, check out Kevin Crawford’s mad whistling: Crazy! Sometimes, when I wonder what I should do after I graduate, I get these starry eyed dreams of… Continue reading I <3 Lunasa
