Say what you want about commercialization and corporate America, but I’ve tried a lot of iced coffee drinks and none of them compare to Starbucks. Here’s why: 1. Minimal ingredients – Brewed Starbucks coffee, reduced-fat milk, sugar, cocoa, pectin, ascorbic acid. The final ingredient is Vitamin C. Pectin is a fiber found in plants, whichContinueContinue reading “Why I Drink Starbucks Frappuccino Chilled Coffee”

System of a Down – Mezmerize/Hyptnotize
http://youtu.be/8WdlR6om69M An underrated double album. Either that, or one that everyone has forgotten. Of course, I don’t expect you to listen to this right now, if you haven’t already. Just sharing that it randomly popped in my mind today, so I’ve been rocking that while I take a break from projects and work. Getting someContinueContinue reading “System of a Down – Mezmerize/Hyptnotize”
[Yesterday’s] Re-Plug
A day of new writing jobs, resignation from old ones, laundry, dishes, and school ended with this guy at the park. It’s been in the wonderful mid-60s here in Tennessee. We had a great adventure, Alex and me. Today is already warm, too. I’m in here procrastinating, very unplugged-like, as I struggle to get doneContinueContinue reading “[Yesterday’s] Re-Plug”
Current mood: this video that I’m making
This is what I’m working on in between my actual deadlines and stuff. There’s a very real part of me that wants to do this for a living. I’m nearly addicted to editing a story out of my low-budget scenes. I imagine all the time what I would do with professionally shot footage, and–oh, LordContinueContinue reading “Current mood: this video that I’m making”
Down, but not Derailed
What’s that famous quote that says something like, “Life is what happens when you’re busy trying to write articles for deadlines and get school assignments done”? Well, it’s been a fitting summary of the past few days. But work and deadlines aren’t the most important thing. I have no cool articles or videos to shareContinueContinue reading “Down, but not Derailed”
Oh, LAWD. It’s showing up in the brain, y’all
It looks like internet addiction is just as real of an addiction as anything. This article shows how the brains of internet addicts are different from everyone else’s “both in the connections between cells and in the brain areas that control attention, executive control, and emotion processing”. So those of us with excessive preoccupation involvingContinueContinue reading “Oh, LAWD. It’s showing up in the brain, y’all”
Today’s Re-Plug: The Job Search Variety
After scurrying around in desperate mode in my job search, I landed an interview for a commercial customer service job. Not my ideal gig, but I think I could do a good job. I’ve been following up on previous applications and applying my tail off through every company and job search site that I can.ContinueContinue reading “Today’s Re-Plug: The Job Search Variety”
My fiance made a collage about me
This is just beautiful. Here are some closeup shots of the sections:
Today’s [Half-Way Plugged In]
Okay, so today has been kind of a bust as far as productivity. I would feel worse about it, but I’ve been a little bit down, lacking motivation to even give half a crap, honestly. Even looming deadlines haven’t worked for two articles that I have due. I put them on Google calendars on myContinueContinue reading “Today’s [Half-Way Plugged In]”
Today’s Re-Plug
This is my son in our homemade obstacle course. It was a blast! I took a break from assignments and article writing to have some good, old-fashioned play time. The day has been a focused and productive one, though I have been hyper-focused on work and school, no endeavors into interesting topics or discoveries today.ContinueContinue reading “Today’s Re-Plug”
