Perils of Sleep Deprivation

By serene | Published: December 29, 2010

Ah, Sleep, that sweet mistress that lulls your tired soul into a dark and isolated magic land in which you go to bed in a depleted state and awake a new person. That is, if you can sleep. You lucky ones who go to bed confident that sleep will be had without anxiety make me [...]

File under: Vanity is overrated

By serene | Published: March 7, 2010

I am not vain, I swear. I really don’t care much about my appearance, just as long as I am comfortable. But I have had a lingering feeling that my long hair was boring. I decided to get it dyed. Being a poor college kid, I thought I’d get it done on the cheap at [...]

Crickets.

By serene | Published: January 23, 2009

Yes, it’s been very quiet over here. Cricket-quiet even. This is not because my life has taken a turn for the boring and non-blog-worthy , but because I’ve gone into withdrawal mode. It happens periodically, usually during times of adjustment or strife. For me, the process of putting my life on display – photos on [...]

I’m in the midst of CrazyChaosPanicTIme. You know, that time in a semester where everything is a flurry of chaos and stress eating and lots of writing, intersperced with bouts of hysteric laughing and Sir-Mix-A-Lot dance offs. Well my 100 page group paper is due on Friday, so hopefully things will calm down in a [...]

State of the union

By serene | Published: April 23, 2008

I’ve been thinking long and hard about media and democracy. I can’t say it’s of my own volition, as I am taking a Political Science/Communications course titled “Media, Society, and Political Identity.” But I’m engaged, I’m thinking, and I’m trying to sort my way through this thick mental landscape. And I’ve been thinking especially long [...]

Good News. Bad News.

By serene | Published: March 27, 2008

The Good News: I got a 3.9 this quarter! It’s the best GPA I’ve ever had. I’m pretty proud of myself, and glad I sacrificed all those nights. I would’ve been pissed if I had no social life in exchange for mediocre grades. And – I got into the Denmark program! The Bad News: I [...]

Day From Hell

By serene | Published: March 11, 2008

Or: How a small bag of peanuts ruined my day, for which I will be paying for many years from now. My story of RBFPA (Really Bad Fucking Peanut Allergy) started around 12:30. I bought a bag of peanuts. I eat nuts all the time, as I am a vegetarian and need the good oils [...]

28 going on 20

By serene | Published: January 14, 2008

To commemorate my first week of school without offing myself in a dramatic, but maybe hilarious, manner, I bring you the summarization of impressions while attending UW as the Oldest Junior Ever: The Good: Women Studies is very fascinating and awesome and I’m sad I’ve never taken a class in the field before The removal [...]

Lessons learned this holiday season; a play

By serene | Published: December 26, 2007

At RISE:  (Work cubicle, South Lake Union neighborhood - 3:43 pm, Wednesday. A sweeping crane shot starting outside in the gray, overcast, commercial neighborhood to a figure seated in chair. The office is quiet and everything appears to be lifeless. The figure is slouched over a keyboard with feet propped up.)   FIGURE 1  If this day doesn’t end soon, I’m [...]
