Fall in Denmark Sounds

By serene | Published: October 21, 2008

Denmark fall is distinctive from Seattle fall in the bitter cold wind, but as a small consolation the tree leaves also change to rich oranges and reds and yellows. The slush of wet leaves underfoot, the smell of crisp air, and the reintroduction of scarves into my wardrobe marks the beginning of my favorite season. [...]

Goddamn

I curse all of you who knew about these awesome Prince performances from the Super Bowl and never told me about them.  I should’ve watched this ages ago, but instead I had to find out about it tonight. Thankfully someone rad out there has my back and told me to watch it, because my life [...]

Listen closely…

Yup, that’s the sound of tumbleweeds floating across this dry, desolate land that is my blog. It’s been a bit on purpose. Sorry about that. I’ve been busy learning more about Denmark in preparation for my Fall quarter abroad, reading deliciously bad fiction to make up for the six straight months of academic literature, enjoying [...]

Inspired

The most challenging, rewarding class I’ve taken in a long time is “Media, Society, and Political Identity”. We’ve been grappling with issues I’ve been mulling over for years, and it’s been both challenging and frustrating to encounter differing opinions and reading academic literature dealing with how changes in the media have shifted global politics. But [...]

Party like it’s 1994

By serene | Published: March 26, 2008

Those last four minutes of My So-Called Life cut to my emotional core in such a quick and effective way that I’m often left dumbfounded in its wake. This probably explains why I’m up at 2 am, feeling compelled to write after spending my evening in warm pajamas covered under a blanket, drinking tea, and [...]

It’s time to get ill

By serene | Published: March 19, 2008

Between staving off a nasty chest cold and general malaise, I’m having a hard time studying for my final today. So, it’s time for a quick break! That, and I did this today on another blog and wasn’t happy with the songs that came up. You know the drill. Hit shuffle on your mp3 player [...]

Amuse thyself

By serene | Published: March 6, 2008

Things are ass-crazy right now. I’m wrapping up the last week and a half of classes before finals, and feeling the stress. The little down time I have that hasn’t been devoted to eating salty, crunchy foods has been very carefully plotted around – guess this – Really Cool Stuff. 1. Gnarles Barkley “Run” video. [...]

Interesting few days

By serene | Published: January 21, 2008

Due to my ‘broke student status’ most of my days have been boring and uneventful. But this weekend – this was a doozy. It started Thursday by being invited to a craft night of local cartoonist Tatiana Gill. I took some photos and so did she. Check out this shot she took of me so [...]
