Double Trouble
So remember when I wrote that post about two years ago in which I lamented the fact that I had recently discovered I wore a D cup bra? That post was charmingly titled “Cups” and remains one of my most popular posts. The ninth most popular of all time, according to my stats, behind the home page (duh), my VidCon recap, my curly hair tutorial, my NYU application answers, and the post about Zac Efron looking like Kevin Zegers. Got it. The internet likes boobies, YouTube, hair tutorials, sarcasm, and Zefron. I am your humble servant, internet. More about boobies after the jump: Continue reading “Double Trouble”

What goes into Cooking with Gandalf
Because we’re already knee deep into the second season of Cooking with Gandalf (a playlist of ALL videos from this show can be viewed HERE), I thought I’d briefly talk to you about what ACTUALLY goes into each episode. It seems really off-the-cuff and simple, but the process in which one episode is produced is pretty long and arduous. But worth it, right? Continue reading “What goes into Cooking with Gandalf”

Writing Group Dream Team
Now that I’m back into the swing of things, writing-wise, I’ve been thinking a lot about who my writing group dream team would be. Last semester I got to experience, for the first time, the wonders of a writing group for my writing fiction class. I really lucked out- my group was AWESOME. I already miss them. Plus, having a writing group was really helpful for my writing, surprise surprise. I got valuable and consistent feedback for my work from people that I respected and enjoyed being around, and it was fantastic. I’ve never felt more accomplished. All that said, this would be my ideal writer’s group: Continue reading “Writing Group Dream Team”
Poetry with Profanity
Recently, I’ve been writing a lot of poetry. It might be partially because I’m in a studies in poetry class and I write a lot during said class because it’s so hard for me to pay attention. It might be partially because reading poetry makes me want to write it. But it also might be because I’m just feeling particularly poetic lately. Continue reading “Poetry with Profanity”
Cooking with Gandalf- Valentines Day!

Goodbye Charlie
So for my two week “January term” class, I took Graphic Warfare. Basically, for two weeks, I read comic books about war and talked about them with fifteen other people. Needless to say, it was awesome. For our final project, we had to draw our own mini-comic, 4-6 pages, in some way related to war. We could write out own story, adapt a news article or book, or really do whatever we wanted. And because I am a Steve Kluger fangirl, I felt that the only thing I could possibly do was adapt an excerpt from his fantastic novel Last Days of Summer.
HERE IS A LINK to the PDF. The file is kind of big, but I hope you’re interested, because although it isn’t the greatest, art-wise, I put a lot of work into it and I’m really proud of the result.
