A little bit after my whole quit-my-studio-job/quarter-life-crisis/deal-with-health-issues meltdown this past April, I made a few investments. I won’t list them here, but I spent what was a considerable amount of money for my budget at the time on some books and seminar-type-things. I also invested a lot of time reading, reading, reading what seems like […]
Thoughts
Hooman. Hooman. Hooman!
Wait for it… I mean, you gotta admit, the dog just steals the show. While Joe is in North Dakota we keep in touch in a very nerdy way. We get on Skype and watch Coursera lectures together. Right now we’re watching Peter Struck’s “Greek and Roman Mythology” course, which is how I came across […]
Beat but Winning
I’m that kind of tired where your feet and calves feel like they’ve been beaten with huge sticks by disgruntled gargoyles. But it’s worth it. One hour of sleep + work + frantically budgeting for life and increased rent + searching for apartments near Stanford (Anna’s dream school, i.e. d.school) + helping a coworker change […]

Going running.
Running sucks. There’s no way around it. Sweating, wobbling, wondering when it’s going to end. Not everyone has this reaction to running, but I do. I hate it, but I do it anyway. Am I masochistic? Kind of, I guess. But I also like to make myself do things I don’t really want to do […]
Supermammoth
Glaciers, mammoths, wastelands. That’s how this story I’m reading starts out, and that’s what my brain feels full of after working on a research poster all weekend. The story is by Evgeniy Zamyatin (don’t worry, no one will ever make you pronounce that), and it’s called “The Cave”. My poster is called “The Relationship Among […]
Just say no.
The trifecta of bad shoe choices adult women make: Uggs, Crocs, and rubber rain boots in the middle of a city.
