So called because it smells like “a mix of rotting fish, sweaty socks and hot garbage” source It’s an endangered tropical flower that might take a decade between flowering events in the wild, but happens every 2-3 years in cultivation. People have been asking me about the…

Digitizing some narratives in my head, as they say
I was listening to a podcast today(actually a podcast introducing another podcast) and the narrator (who I adore, but who, much to my disappointment, my friends don’t like as well*) describes how he can take failure better than other people because he just always just adds them to his big ball of failure—that they all end…
I’d be shunned by Schön right now
One of the big differences between school and work for me is I have less time to reflect on my work. Instead of the teacher asking you ‘why’ and wanting to hear your answer, you get more of people asking ‘why’ as an opener for their idea. I’ve been working on this project lately and realizing how little…
I’ve been here for a year
A year, a month, and 10 days, actually. You know (you. know.) how much I love milestones, so I gotta say something. Also, my birthday was a couple months ago. Also also, for some reason my high school graduating class’ facebook kicked up again reminding me that it’s almost been 10 years since we graduated and…
Week in the life, Day 7
Yay! Last day. I’m definitely ready for this writing exercise to be over. As much as its been nice getting to write again (it has!) it’s also time consuming to remember and write about each day in a timely manner. Last post! I’m not sure how representative this week is because I think I had more planned…

Week in the life: Day 2
Not really convinced that this is a great idea, but thought I’d at least carry out a work day. I can’t imagine this being entertaining to anyone. The summary of yesterday was: I went to work and then I went to bed. And if you are on some sort of reconnaissance mission, I should note that…
