Important beliefs that I have to share with you all right now: my parents are better than all other parents, supernatural television shows that are no longer on the air are totally worthy of hours of discussion among strangers, and knowing things is very different from emotionally understanding them. (This list is not meant to […]
Oh look, it’s a blog! Hello blog, how are you doing? I’m doing great, thanks for not asking because you’re a blog and can’t do that unless I tell you to. When I first got to Paris I was required to blog twice a week as part of my program. In spite of the fact […]
It’s We Blog, We Vlog day! Woo! The prompt is to talk about how you’d spend your last few weeks before the end of the world. Here’s my answer. If you’d rather skip that whole video thing, I have a joint-guest post over at Democracy Diva in which we snark the cinematic atrocity that is […]
Hello, dear readers. Today is 20sb Blog Swap day. Members of the lovely 20 Something Bloggers community have gotten together to write posts and trade blogs for the day. The assignment was to write about our favorite childhood summer vacation but I’ve never been good at reading the instructions and just thought we were writing […]

Given the fact that I have given 20sb its own frequently used tag, coupled with my recent obsession with vlogging, it was kind of inevitable that I’d participate in this year’s vlog day, isn’t it? The theme is “Give us a tour,” and I just couldn’t give another “tour” of my shoebox apartment. I don’t […]
HI. It’s now Wednesday and I uploaded this on Monday. If it feels like I am essentially spamming my own blog with videos, I should add that I am also doing VEDA, which means that this could be so much worse. But since this is part of a collaborative project, I feel a certain obligation […]
Being in a Global Communications MA program, the internet enters a lot of our discussions; it has been a significant part of all but one research paper that I have written here. You can’t avoid talking about this thing that has fundamentally transformed the way we communicate (especially in the international contexts that this program […]
I swear that I will resume posting real things with actual writing in a day or two. I have this thing that randomly posts old entries to my Twitter every few days and about a week ago it selected my first vlog entry to this blog. I was using my netbook’s webcam that has this […]
