There's lots of fun, quirky, and geeky stuff out there. I write about it.
The events of last week weigh on my heart. So many dead. So many injured. So much fear and anger. I’ve gone back and forth about writing something here, but the video below decided me. Le Petit Journal‘s interview with this boy and his father brightened my day…well, after it made me cry a […]
Read More Healing FlowersMy first time through college, I took a class called “Aesthetes and Decadents”, and it was all about turn of the century literature. I always think of Oscar Wilde when I think of that class, and an unforgettable trip to visit his tombstone in Paris. ‘Til next time, Jessica
Read More Wordy ThursdayIf you could have a superpower what would it be? Invisibility? Reading minds? Granting wishes? Flight? Oh yeah, baby, give me wings. However, if I could have my way, please do something cool like let me turn them into a tattoo when I don’t need them. Please and thank you. ‘Til next time, Jessica
Read More Wordy ThursdayWith Halloween just a couple of days away, I thought I’d confess one of my greatest fears. Amanda Palmer refers to the “Fraud Police” in her book The Art of Asking. You know, the people who will eventually figure out you have no idea what you’re doing and call you out for it…yeah, I can relate. […]
Read More Wordy ThursdaySo, how may of you out there have just decided to let J.J. Abrams take all your money? Because, after this trailer, I was ready to just go ahead and pre-order my tickets for Star Wars:The Force Awakens. The only thing stopping me is not knowing the release date of the Sherlock Christmas Special. Yes, I […]
Read More These Are Definitely The Droids You’re Looking ForCh-Ch-Ch-Changes Life has taken a new and exciting direction for me, which means there’s a whirlwind of activity, but it is all of the good variety. Lots of scary changes, good-scary not bad-scary. I’ve started an undergraduate degree in Graphic Design at Full Sail University, and while I’m only two months in to the three […]
Read More Life by DesignMoriarty? No? Sorry, not actually Moriarty, but with with announcement that the Christmas(ish) special of Sherlock will be released in cinemas worldwide, I couldn’t resist. Of course, we’ve missed Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman! I’m not even going to mention the rest of the cast, because it would just take to long. However, you have not been […]
Read More Missed Me?This summer I’ve listened to a lot of Zac Brown Band (fine, I listen to them all year round, but especially summer). Jekyll + Hyde is an awesome album, what can I say? A particular line from the song “Homegrown” sticks with me, and has since […]
Read More Goldilocks Had the Right IdeaI like this word, hoppipolla. It sounds fun popping from the lips. Try it? See! Awesome! This is something I am usually guilty of. Unless there’s somewhere I have to be where staying clean and dry is required, I’ll jump in the puddle. I don’t require children to be present to encourage me either. My […]
Read More Guilty As ChargedI learned a lot on that lake growing up. My cousin taught me what firecrackers in an old metal coffee can sounded like; Dad taught me how to tell a really good scary story; and my Uncles showed me that sometimes it is better just to jump on in…even if the water is freezing.
