My Semester So Far
I just started at a new university on my hometown. What I primarily thought was a poor excuse for a backup school turned out to be one of the best schools this city has to offer. I set out to complete a degree in Simulation and Digital Entertainment (Computer Gaming) but I want to double major with graphic design or publishing. I really love it here.
The only issue I am encountering is that I...
Just put up my computer desk yesterday-ish and I already began dropping food under it. Alas mister green grape, I may or may not sacrifice you to the dust gods.

Thoughts on River Song
***SPOILERS AHEAD***
She is getting to be the most heartbreaking character from Doctor Who. She is fighting with Donna Noble for first place, but I think River will win.
We know what happens to her in the Library. We know know that had she not saved the Doctor, she would probably have regenerated. It is a weird situation because if she let the Doctor save the Library, she would have done what...
The Question.
alexialiebert:
In the library River whispered the Doctor’s name to gain his trust; the Silence is said to fall when a question is asked.. A question that is hidden in plain sight. What question is asked more than any other in the Whoniverse?
Doctor WHO? (-via timeferret)

Cliffs and Competitions
I dreamed that it was the morning after a small snow. I was shoveling the steps and watching the little kids go to school. There was a competition that was like an obstacle course that one of the neighborhood kids was in. I went with the mother and she talked to me about something I cannot remember. When I tried to go back home, I was stuck on a sloping area that led to a cliff. The whole time I...

Earthquake! in Baltimore
Just felt an earthquake. I live in Baltimore and I felt the earthquake from Richmond. Just so you know.
Country-fied Wireless
Tapping into somebody’s wireless in the middle of the country. But the good thing is that there is a chance they are family… and family shares… Yeah, that’s my story.
Reunion Hiatus
Okay so I will be gone as of fifteen minutes from now. I need to pack my laptop and all other technology that will help stave off boredom in the middle of nowhere Pleasant Hill, North Carolina. I should be back Monday evening.
Ta-ta for now.

Annually Family
Like many black Americans, I attend family reunions in the South (NC, SC, GA MS, LA, FL); however, my family is a rare case as we meet every year. I have been attending these reunions since before I can remember. I love them because I get to see people I haven’t seen in a year and I get to eat southern food. I live for bbq and stew.
Recently, I have put it into my mind that I wanted to get...
When you have all these art ideas but you can't...
“Fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from...”
– The Boy Who Lived Forever | TIME (via heatheranne)
Really interesting article. Definitely the least judgmental, most accurate explanation of fanfic I’ve seen so far in any mainstream publication.

Raw Fruits and Vegetables with Lime Juice
Dip your cut up veggies and fruit into a small bowl of lime juice. The taste is different and helps if you don’t like the natural taste of veggies.

Balancing Green Tea and Water
I bought a 78 oz water bottle/jug from Dollar General at the start of the summer. I use this to get my daily water intake. While there is research that says drinking at least 8 glasses of water is not really necessary, I find that when trying to cut down on soda and instant drinks (Kool-Aid and tea mixes), it is easy to have a water jug to drink from.
I recently started drinking tea, green tea to...

An Observation on My Weight Goals
According to all of the charts and figures, I am obese. According to my family, I just need to lose the extra weight around my stomach. According to me, I should work on my arms too.
I am alright with this because I take my weight cues from my family. I am lucky enough to understand that when they say I am “gettin’ big” or “look at that stomach”, it is something they...

I Could Have Waited Until Next Week
I have watched this show from the beginning. I couldn’t wait until it premiered. However, after the second episode, I became bored. The characters were amazing and the story lines were good, but something was off about the series.
Tonight was the season finale and I am very disappointed. The past couple of episodes set up characters so that they could be heroes, but there was no delivery....
