Once upon a time I had the published Friday Fives in the morning….Ah well. Here are some of the books I made for book arts last year: 01| Coptic stitch book. Burlap, cotton paper, linen thread, ink pen 02| Spectacle book (meteor shower). Black ink on black paper, paint, colored pencil. Coptic stitch. 03| Rhythms…
This is what sleep deprivation looks like
Here’s a long update of what happened this week. Read as much of it as fits your fancy I have Scottish Lit at 8:00 am on Tuesday and Thursdays. For me, 8am is inherently a difficult time to be awake, but when you have been deprived of sleep for as long and as consistently as…
4025: Making websites “human”
A good website is built on two basic truths—that the internet is an interactive medium and that the end user is in fact human. In other words, it is meant to be an experience. As with any adventure, a little strategic thought is needed to ensure that the experience is enjoyable. [source] In A List…
I hope Sesame Street never goes away.
Do you remember that Old Spice post I did a while ago? My friend Pam showed me this Grover parody. How cute! Sesame Street taught my brother how to read. Seriously. My mom was confused.
5: Polaroids
What? It’s not Friday? Yeah I know. I had these done earlier today (Friday, I haven’t gone to bed yet), but then I ended up going out to eat and seeing Despicable Me (for free). Chaotic week and next week is going to be terrible! So…don’t expect much. But for here are 5 Polaroids I’ve…

Zotero: You didn’t even know you wanted it
…or maybe you did. We learned about Zotero in a mini library-researching session provided by UW’s library during Senior Seminar. And although we all had to feign disinterest to protest the horrid midterm we just took (or were trying to remember if it was Althusser or Lacan that did that One Thing). Everything we learned…
Misery with a hint of thyme
I’m sick. It feels awful. I have midterms and papers and no energy. I shouldn’t be blogging right now. But I thought I might do a good deed and maybe get some karma points by sharing a chicken soup recipe for sick people —meaning, it’s so easy to make, you can do it when you’re…
Princess C’s birthday!
{more on this later 😉 }
Mini Coffee Cakes
[sorry the picture is so bad] mmm. Coffee cake! I went to a pot luck a week or so ago and we all had to bring desserts so I made these. It was perfect because there was no fuss with knives and plates and no girls going “I just want a tiny, tiny, little nibble.”…
