It's Friday! More importantly, there are only six days left til Christmas! Also, Happy Hanukkah to all those who observe. Even though I'm not Jewish, I think the sentiment of faith and determination behind Hanukkah is something everyone can take to heart. Feeling festive, I tried to make latkes for the first time the other [...]

Almost There
Hello dear readers! Unfortunately, I missed Sunday Reads this week because I've been SO SLEEPY. It's probably a remnant of the yearly reboot that always happens around finals, even though I'm not in school anymore. My body is like "Ok, too much information and wear and tear, time to restart and update!" Only, I still [...]
All Aboard the Struggle Bus
It's Wednesday! We're halfway through the week and thaaaat much closer to the weekend and to Christmas. Those of you in finals mode right now, I will try to restrain my self-satisfied grin and offer you my sincerest condolences. In honor the finals struggle bus, and really anyone else who is having trouble focusing though [...]
Bay Area Holiday Theatre!
Happy Tuesday everyone! (She says with sleepy hope over her third cup of black tea). December is chock-full of holiday arts, and last weekend I was able to see two of the most inventive Christmas shows the Bay Area has to offer. Play number 14: Friday, December 5, I saw Brian Copeland's "The Jewelry Box" [...]
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
First of all, I want to express how much anger and pain I feel for the people of Ferguson, MO. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., "A riot is the voice of the unheard." Everyone should follow this tumblr for up to the minute updates and ways to help. And don't forget that [...]
Happy Monday! I totally forgot to post my Sunday reads so I'll post them now! This comprehensive guide to good journalism about Ferguson, Missouri. Important to me because my family is from St. Louis and important in general because racism, classism, and police brutality should matter to everyone. And when we are inundated with a [...]
Life is a Cabaret
Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm feeling good this week because I had one of those weekends that reminded me of why I'm doing what I'm doing, and encouraged me to re-focus on my goals with fresh eyes. Plus, it's a new month (which means we have long leads and pitches and press releases to go out [...]
Oregon Shakespeare Festival!
Last weekend, I went on a road trip to Ashland, Oregon with my dad for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Ashland is this little town juuuust north of the California-Oregon border. It's nestled in a mountain valley, and is the kind of place that smells of pine trees, and as one motel put it, "toasty fires." Its [...]
Weekend Update
I have more than usual to tell you this week. First of all, it was my sister's birthday on Wednesday, so you should probably go check out her YouTube channel. And happy fall! I for one will be making lots of pumpkin-y things and watching Halloween movies (even though its 3000 degrees in the Bay Area). [...]
10 Things You Learn REAL Fast in PR
In case you don't know, I've been working at a performing arts PR firm in the Bay Area for about a month now. PR isn't my background, but I had experience in writing and theatre so I jumped right into this field that was entirely new to me. As with any "first real job", there [...]
