Peak FLASHBACK
A pre-selfie selfie. (Also, pre-hashtag #pre-hashtag.) As far as Eric & I can remember, we took this while shooting Eric’s audition video for MTV‘s The Real World up at Universal Studios. That’s a The Far Side t-shirt I’m wearing. This … Continue reading
Stressors
I was feeling a bit anxious. Then I remembered that a death of a family member, moving, and a career change are each on those lists of the most stressful things people have to endure. Luckily, I’m of the “once … Continue reading

Stacks
I know that the vast majority of these moving boxes contain books. But I can’t help but think that somewhere, hidden in these stacks, lies the Ark of the Covenant. Top. Men.
Rolled
I stumbled on this place coming out of seeing a movie at the NoHo Laemmle: rolled ice cream, mixed and frozen and scraped off a super cold metal surface. Apparently it’s a Thailand thing.

Gipper
My sister and I visited the Reagan Presidential Library. (I had never gotten around to going.) We were motivated by the temporary exhibit they had on Genghis Khan, but the indoor Air Force One was probably the highlight of the … Continue reading
Diaphonous
While packing up my desk, I temporarily put a foam bag over my mug of pens & highlighters. The gauzy appearance made it look like something out of a sci-fi movie.
Blue
Lying in bed in my Shanghai apartment the weekend before the 2016 presidential election, I had an anxiety attack about what I was doing with my life. I worked out three possible plans to consider: The Red Escape, The Green … Continue reading
Evergreen
Took my sister downtown to protest Trump’s policy of separating families at the border. This is the sign she made with leftover poster board I had from D.C. High reuse value.

Wand
Went to Universal Studios for the first time in forever and had a chance to explore the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Very well-themed (although I could have done with drizzly British weather instead of So Cal summer heat.) I … Continue reading

Monoculture
My sister wanted to go to the Scottish Festival in Costa Mesa. My brother, sister-in-law, and niece drove up from San Diego to join us. I was a little worried, times being what they are, that this year the festival … Continue reading

Trap
Sometimes existence feels like being born into a bear trap.
Read
I’ve decided to try and reread a book for every new book I read. It seems like a good time to revisit old ideas in the light of experience rather than frantically cramming my head full of new ideas all … Continue reading

Numberwang
11,834.5 miles. (The trip odometer rolled over at 10k.) Average of 47 miles per gallon. That’s Numberwang.

Northbound
Having completed the CA/NV/UT/CO/KS/MO/IA/IL/IN/MI/Ont/NY/PA/DE/MD/VA/WV/NC/TN/AR/OK/TX/NM/AZ/CA leg of my road trip, I’m ready to continue northward for the CA/OR/WA/OR/CA leg.
