Mmm, Consumerism

Courtesy by Me
Had an excellent day shopping with my ladies down south. We looked at some bling bling, ate some rad pretzels, got some cool robot toys. Couldn’t resist getting The Governator from BevMo. Highlight: laughing a helluva lot; it was so good! An honarable mention: we saw one [...]

Coded Times

Taken by Me
I come home from band practice to find my mom has made some progress cleaning the Junk Room/Office. Good news except there are some sentimental treasures in there that need rescue. The code and spy book period was an excellent one for me, creative and yet terrestrial.

Watch out for my kung fu makin’ movie style!

Concrete Borders

Had to read T.C. Boyle’s The Tortilla Curtain for my social geography class today. Didn’t really like it. The contrasts between the characters’ worlds were too wide and their mindsets too static.
