Words of Wisdom

By serene | Published: March 3, 2011

I came across this just in the nick of time: Pep Talk: Be gentle with yourself, my darling. There’s no need for all this pressure. You’re doing great, life is getting better by the moment, and, in reality, you have no problems. Thanks Daily Pep Talk From A Best Friend. Kindness and compassion for yourself [...]

On the up and up.

By serene | Published: January 24, 2011

Things are good here. Really good, in fact. This is notable considering my lingering issues with sleep. Mostly in that it totally escapes me. I am watching A LOT of Daria these nights. On to the good bits: I got the Dream Job. My official title is Web Producer. The desk will be in the [...]

Full of win

By serene | Published: December 21, 2010

You guys, I graduated. (This is about as climactic as it’s going to get, as I am a Fall graduate without any pomp or circumstance or tassels or stupid Mylar balloons, so bear with me.) The weird thing is, I feel as lost as I did before I came back to school. This feeling is [...]

Dia de los Muertos

By serene | Published: November 2, 2010

Happy Dia de los Muertos! I really do love this holiday, and not just because I’m half-Mexican. If you have endured the pain of losing someone, you may find comfort in marking a day to remember and celebrate their lives. I find great joy in remembering laughter and funny stories; maybe you can find warmth [...]

This is Halloween.

By serene | Published: October 18, 2010

I was craving those warm, salty, crunchy seeds of awesome on a crispy fall afternoon; there is no greater thing than a freshly roasted pumpkin seed. Thus, the first pumpkin of the season became impaled on my knife. There will be more. Oh yes, there will be more. In life news, I’m trying to breathe [...]

Fun, eleventy!

By serene | Published: September 13, 2010

Things are looking pretty fun in my neighborhood. I have  my marching orders for the design internship. Mock-ups and photo archives and Adobe InDesign, oh my! (Preemptively speaking, unpaid design work is more fun than paid desk work.) I have an entire week off, staring on Wednesday. My agenda is: play Uncharted 2, bake some [...]

A July Like Every Other July

By serene | Published: July 28, 2010

A calm July would make me nervous; birthday months are for tumult and upheaval, right? A much-needed reunion with my much-beloved friend who has known me longer than anyone else became my grounding strip, the thing that plants my feet back on the ground. Our reunion started with a late night Denny’s trip to reconnect [...]

Cumpleaños

By serene | Published: July 15, 2010

As of today, I have been alive 11,319 days. I am old. A birthday is looming in my future. These last few days before a birthday usually bring up strange emotions. Last year, it was ambivalence. 29 was unadulterated excitement. 2007 was peaceful. This year could be described as purposeful. I’m feeling mortal these days. [...]
