Burrito

A cool summer night in Pittsburgh…
You’ll find me expressing homesickness via burrito illustration (acrylic on canvas), and peeling my eyes off the screens of modern machines to make stereotypically forlorn glances through the screens of my open windows.
If only–only if–I could just…If it were just… I wish it could…

Sigh.

Graduation behind the robes

I have copy-pasted following my friends’ Twitter feed that transpired between and among the 2009 graduating UT college of communication class while at the commencement ceremony today. –Goes from most recent to oldest.

Frustrated, and for the sake of irony, I chose to do a blog about [...]

Still examining the Web

Blog post about the Web site, Addictionary. Won the amusement category at the Web Awards.
Best part: section called “There Oughta Be A Word.” Gives description, then you comment with a word creation that encompasses it.
There oughta be a word for bureaucratic poppycock occurring at college media outlets. All I know is a proper [...]
