  • Gold Star for the Internet: Mozart in the Jungle

    I just bingewatched four episodes of Mozart in the Jungle and have many thoughts — Zoë Lance (@zoellance) January 2, 2015 The production values are incredible — Zoë Lance (@zoellance) January 2, 2015 The story is superb, and I can't wait to watch more tomorrow and blog about it next week. Stay tuned. — Zoë…

  • Link Party: 12/29-1/2

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. A really interesting profile on Emerson Spartz, who has made a lot of websites you probably recognize. 2. Kanye West and Paul McCartney collaborated. No big deal. 3. Jay Wilds gives an interview about Serial, and now I’m not sure who to believe. 4. There’s a medical school…

  • This Has Been A Post: 2015 Calendar

    I keep a paper calendar on the corkboard above my computer. When something really cool happens (anything from going out to dinner with friends to vacations to personal milestones), I write it on the calendar. It’s a cool way to keep track of the year and remind myself that awesome things happen all the time.…

  • Capstone Adventures: The Fault in Our Stars Fanfiction

    Way back in March when I had decided on what my honors college capstone was going to be about, I knew that in talking about postmodern popular culture I had to talk about a contemporary popular book. This was right around the time when the The Fault in Our Stars movie was coming out, and…

  • Link Party: 12/22-12/26

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. New Yorkers asked the New York Public Library some crazy things pre-Google. 2. 550 musicians were asked Lennon or McCartney, and I’m actually surprised by the results. 3. This is what Christmas dinner at the White House looks like. 4. Jeb Bush’s emails were almost as fascinating as…

  • A Wild World of Words: “Invictus”

    A Wild World of Words: “Invictus”

    Out of the night that covers me,       Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be       For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance       I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance       My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and…

  • Link Party: 12/15-12/19

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. The Académie française says to knock it off with the LOLs. 2. One of my favorite tech writers keeps getting Amazon emails that aren’t for him. 3. The best essay I read about the ramifications of the Sony hack. 4. There’s a real life Newman running around in…

  • Culture Connoisseur: Dick Blick Art Materials

    I’ve recently discovered the most magical place on Earth, and it’s not Disneyland. It’s called Dick Blick Art Materials. Dick Blick is a group of art stores that stocks supplies at discounted prices. It has a much better selection than Michaels, and is not pretentious in the slightest — I am not an artist, but the staff makes me…

  • Undergrad Adventures: Fall 2014

    I’m finishing a final draft of my second capstone essay this week (more on that later) but my three academic classes for fall quarter are finally over! In all three years and a quarter of college, fall 2014 was the toughest, busiest and most stressful academic terms I’ve had. But despite all of the meltdowns and existential crises, the…

  • Link Party: 12/8-12/12

    Remember last week when I said I’d be back to regularly scheduled programming? I unintentionally lied. Now that finals are over (and most of my academic commitments will be relieved by Sunday), things will be relatively back to normal on Monday. I mostly promise. Here’s what I read this week: 1. The front page of New York’s first…
