Well lookie here, a bonus post! I read a lot of a blogs, and one I've recently discovered is this: Things We Like, created by Jessica Gross. It's part art piece, part salve for the anxious, part cultivated aesthetics by the multitudes of humanity. People write in with lists of things they like, from the [...]

On My Lonesome
Hello internet! Happy Wednesday. So on the heels of my decision I've begun to plan the next 8 months of my life in earnest. And that means I now get to pick apart all the things I'm worried about and need to make, one by one, like quills out of skin. Today's Problem: I don't [...]
July Books
Like most things in the month, my reading in July took a bit of a dip. I read three books. To be fair, they were all rather dense and not fast reads, sooooooooo. Excuses excuses. Vagina: A New Biography, Naomi Wolf I picked this one up on YouTube recommendation. It is a non-fiction exploration of [...]
Decisions
I seem to have continued my summer-streak of not writing much. It's not from lack of thoughts, but rather an abundance of them. I keep wanting to write the same post over and over again, from slightly different angles, and just end up writing nothing. I don't want to be repetitive, even though the web [...]
SU Ballroom 2016-2017
Hi everyone! I hope you are all having lovely summers. While we are still in the middle of July, I am a habitual plan-aheader. I've been doing a lot of thinking about the shape of this upcoming academic year, and what I want to accomplish with all of you. Here is a fact: This will [...]
Hamilton, Amadeus, and the Lie of the Individual
It's happened, Internet. I knew I couldn't escape it forever. And this weekend, having an unusual amount of free time, I broke down. And bought the Hamilton Cast Recording. Why have I waited so long, you ask? This is post-viral, post-Tony's, post-any reasonable amount of time to catch up on the cultural phenomenon that is [...]
June Books and Life Update
Hello people of the internet! I hope you are doing well. June has been....well it's been a month. It turned into a bit of a blog-hiatus for me, not because I didn't have things to say, but mostly because what's running through my head lately is pretty repetitive. I'm trying de-tangle my life and goals [...]
Ballet, and Me
I have a complicated relationship with my first art. My mom put me in little-kid dance classes when I was 3, in the hopes of making her uncoordinated daughter graceful--or so she claims. Every year she would ask me if I still wanted to do dance, and every year I said yes. I kept saying [...]
April Showers Bring May…Books?
Happy end of May! It's been a weird month here in Central New York--summer weather, snow, more summer weather. The book-drought of April has given way, and I'm more than back on track for my yearly reading. I've read six books this month and 24 book total this year--48% of my goal of 50 books [...]
Update on that Crazy Idea
Hi internet! Happy Monday. So do you recall a month ago or so I wrote this? TL;DR, I had a mighty need to make something, and I had a concept. Well, I've actually done it--in part. Yesterday I got a bunch of hapless souls--er, minions--er, friends--together and we filmed the first half of my dance video [...]
