I am happy to say that, like a good little up-and-coming vampire novelist, I am delving into the one and only “Dracula” by Bram Stoker. I happened to have seen it at a stop at my college bookstore trying to get (ironically, possibly) my last religion textbook. Having been reading now for about a half […]
Let me start with the sentence that has been hanging in my head for the last four hours. I cannot imagine having this kind of commitment to anything besides a piece of writing. And I’m not, for once, talking about my own! I’m talking about having just finished the next fan-translated volume of my ultimate […]
I don’t have a ton to say – really, I just came here when that ball of tension in my stomach tightened up because of thoughts about my publication. My dad directed me to this article by Holly Schindler, who was writing about “Book Blogs” and the opportunity therein for up-and-coming authors to gain good […]
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is so phenomenal to me. I spent 4-1/2 hours there on Tuesday and could have spent another 5 there without getting bored. The atmosphere is exactly what I needed; seeing the whole spectrum of history through another’s eyes and mind is both a reality check and draws me closer to […]
When I went to my first-ever (mandatory) Art Club meeting after classes on Monday, we were invited to offer ideas to the chairs of the club about what our expectations for Art Club were. Pretty much unanimously they included the formation of an artistic community, in which ideas and feedback are freely exchanged and visiting […]
I find – does it matter, if I can’t clear my mind? There’s a right and a wrong time. ANDREW BELLE SOOTHES MY SOUUUULLLL. I wanted to write to say that thus far I love the artistic presence at Augsburg. I will admit that it doesn’t necessarily permeate the campus as much (or as nicely) […]
And this is why my favorite author is Jonathan Stroud: “The Ring of Solomon has arrived! The hardback UK version arrived on my doorstep this morning, prompting me to dance a hornpipe of joy in my pyjamas. The postman will probably never be quite the same again.” That was on his journal, and The Ring […]
Mehehe. When I ran across this, I knew that my blog was a perfect place to laugh at it publicly! Granted – I ran across it through the Twitter of the only webcomic I follow (and he’s a digital artist…so obviously he disagreed with this comic…) BUT I DON’T! I love it. Especially that I […]
Because of my interest in things of the mind, I like dreams. When I began to see commercials for the upcoming Christopher Nolan film, Inception, I was intrigued by its mixture of action and concept. Apparently, Nolan is a pretty renown director (via The Dark Knight). Also, I liked how Ellen Page(the famous Juno)’s character […]
I wish there were an add-on I could use that would help me log what I’m reading, because that would be fun and it would make me feel like a bum whenever I wasn’t reading something, which would then encourage me to read more. Anyway, yesterday my parents and I took a trip to Barnes […]
