I’m pushing 30 and feel like a kid again. The last time I rode my bike on a busy street, I was 19 years old. Don’t get me wrong, I ride my bike occasionally, but on bike paths. I was with my boyfriend at the time and we had been biking around this bike trail… Continue reading Like a kid again

Work Smarter not Harder…or just don’t work at all?
So I just graduated from my graphic design program and am about to re-enter the workforce. The last time I graduated college, back in May 2009, I was trying to find a job in the worst economic crisis since the ’29 stockmarket crash with a degree I didn’t have all my faith in. Now, thankfully… Continue reading Work Smarter not Harder…or just don’t work at all?
Does It Need To Be Designed?
I am breaking my accidental year long hiatus with a post about doing nothing, my favorite pastime. The reason for my absence is almost exclusively due to the fact that I am in a two-year graphic design program at Seattle Central and am just about to start my second year. Many times my fellow classmates and I will… Continue reading Does It Need To Be Designed?
Do We Have a Right to Ad-free Entertainment?
During my winter break from school, I have been taking advantage of a sedentary, carefree lifestyle. I am slightly addicted to watching clips of Conan’s tbs talk show on youtube. I love watching Conan flutter around as his coif bounces. The only thing is the ads are out of control. Between me and Conan entertainment… Continue reading Do We Have a Right to Ad-free Entertainment?
Back to School in More Ways Than One
The first back to school was last month. My building had an Artists’ Open House, aptly named “Back to School,” since we live in a school and all. It is always a little scary opening your home up to random people off the street but it was a success for sure! I even sold a… Continue reading Back to School in More Ways Than One
Growing Up Half Ass[yrian] Zine
The much-anticipated zine is here! Okay, maybe you haven’t heard anything about it, but it is here. We have compiled some of our favorite blog posts and created a zine about growing up half-Assyrian and half-white. We made some drawings with watercolors based on our childhood photos and rewrote the stories on our grandmother’s typewriter.… Continue reading Growing Up Half Ass[yrian] Zine
Lemon Juice Changed My Life
I am a lover of lemon juice. So much so, the enamel on my two front teeth has been reduced to basically sandpaper and I had to get a few hundred dollars worth of veneers. Worth it! (Thanks Mom.) When I was young, I was a notoriously picky eater. My mom would cook all kinds… Continue reading Lemon Juice Changed My Life
Pink is for Boys and Blue is for Girls
This is how it used to be for much of history. It is really only within the last 60 years that it flipped. If you look at the many Jesus-y paintings from the Medieval or Renaissance eras, for instance the Annunciation paintings, you will see the Virgin Mary usually wears blue and Jesus or the… Continue reading Pink is for Boys and Blue is for Girls
Quilting: The Opposite of Instant Gratification
I subscribe to hundreds of blogs, mostly design and art blogs. I will see about 300 blog posts a day, a few per second. Next, next, next. The image overload is mind altering. I usually tell myself I will look at them for inspiration but most likely I will end up feeling bad about myself… Continue reading Quilting: The Opposite of Instant Gratification
Peeing with Strangers
Ah, drunkenness. Making you do things you would never do in real life. It’s an alternate universe where everything you do makes sense. On a recent karaoke night, when drunkenness is mandatory, I was waiting in line to tinkle. When it was my turn, a very drunk woman said “Can I come pee with you?… Continue reading Peeing with Strangers
