my sister is a lion

April Adventures, Part 4: a ferris wheel in the desert

April 19, 2011

In the days following Coachella each year, I am mostly just confused as to why I am not running around the festival sweating and dancing and smiling. I now get to spend this week wandering around LA (or mostly just the valley). I of course have endless feelings about all things Coachella (favorite place! favorite [...]

April Adventures, Part 1: “I think we just need to grab rhinestones and then we’re good to go.”

April 4, 2011

I love birthdays. It’s not the whole “Oh let’s celebrate me” aspect. I mean, fine, I joke with my mom and sister that their excitement over my birth should flow over into weeks of celebration because a single day couldn’t possibly contain it. But a holiday is a holiday. My freshman roommate had a September [...]

Sometimes my sister is less awesome.

October 18, 2010

In the few months that this blog has been in existence, I have dedicated a significant amount of space to discussing the awesomeness of my little sister. She can be really awesome sometimes.

Bruised knees are better than bruised egos

September 24, 2010

Being a real person is exhausting. I am not entirely sure I like it, though I have not yet chosen to dislike it. This subject clearly needs a more comprehensive investigation. At the moment I have two jobs and I might be getting hired for two more. My life consists of work, the gym, reading, [...]

There is certainly something to be said for seeing bands at smaller, more intimate venues, but there is something awesome and magical about the magnitude of festival shows. There are so many [...]

Let’s just get my negativity out of the way so we can move on to why Lollapalooza was awesome

August 10, 2010

You know what’s really annoying? When people incessantly put down Thing A in favor of Thing B when other people have only experienced Thing A. With that in mind, I apologize in advance to any die-hard Lollapalooza goers. I also encourage any fellow Coachella fanatics to attend Lollapalooza at some point, just to experience it [...]

The struggle bus to the gym, the movies, or just off the couch.

Things I Dislike Right Now: Scientology commercials The “Cardio Dance Party” class at my gym Shia LaBeouf The distance between my house and the county fair What I find most bothersome about the Scientology commercials is the fact that when I see them in the haze of my bullshit existence, I start to think, “Wow.

Life lessons, teenage angst, and my clogged arteries.

July 5, 2010

I am not sure if I am all that good at this. There are a lot of things that I could talk about from the last two weeks. Like how we randomly decided to hop in the car and drive to California. Or how after I spent 28 hours on the road back from California, [...]
