Well, maybe not entirely shameless self-promotion, but I did write it so I suppose it deserves a little disclaimer. This weekend will hopefully be a great one for productivity. With the incoming D.C. #snomgasm / #snowpocalypse2 / #snom (my personal favorite) / any number of other crazy hashtags, I’m hoping maybe it’ll give me a [...]

I’m failing you, blog. As always, there’s simply too much to do! If only we could have, ya know, 26 or 28 hour days. That might make things a little easier.
Just a quick update tonight with a rapid-fire overview of what my weekend has been like. Friday and Saturday I devoted purely to Social Justice [...]

One last quick post for tonight.
I just want to give a huge shoutout to anyone and everyone who is, has been, or even will be reading my blog. I write this blog largely for myself, for my personal fulfillment and to keep my writing skills polished.
But the motivation is all you.
As much as I would love to tell myself I’d keep writing even if no one was reading, the truth is I probably wouldn’t. Knowing that someone out there is reading and that someone is out there who would be willing to sit down and have a conversation with me about what I talk about on my blog, or what they talk about on theirs–it’s an amazing feeling.
Twitter brings much of this to life for me, enabling direct interaction between me and many of you. And the more the better! I absolutely love getting to know new people and I hope that you’ve enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy) my writing!
Also, thank you to all of my sister Cherie’s followers who visited my blog yesterday, I appreciate your reading my little “ultra-biased” book review! I hope you’ll stick around and continue reading my blog.
Finally, if you’re reading my blog and you’ve got a blog of your own, please let me know in the comments (if you don’t know if I read it already). I try to keep up to date with as many as I can, and I’d love to add yours to my RSS Reader so I can keep up with you too!
Thanks again for reading, thanks for being great friends, and I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you even better in this new decade.

I’m here. I’m at my “home away from home”. My school. My work. [Most of] my friends. Washington, D.C.
Today I arrived back in the city, and it’s been a busy day already. After unloading the trailer (it’s shocking how much stuff I have–doesn’t seem possible), grabbing some lunch at the Good Stuff Eatery–which was absolutely incredible–, and doing some shopping at CVS, the bike shop and Trader Joe’s (always a good idea), here I am, feeling a bit overwhelmed in my apartment. My parents have headed back to the Iris Inn in Waynesboro, VA for the night and I’m here being consumed by cardboard boxes and clothes I’d totally forgotten I had.
Because of the aforementioned overwhelmingness, this has got to be a short post. But for what it’s worth, I’m here, back in D.C., alive, and if anyone wants to help clean and/or unpack, by all means give me a call.
Tomorrow will likely be full of mostly more cleaning, unpacking, etc. but I’m hoping to get a couple of blog posts up that I’ve got in the works:
First, a quick (and outrageously biased) review of my sister’s most recent book, Boneshaker.
Second, a look at my return to D.C. after spending a semester in Denmark: my thoughts on the feel of the city,
American culture in general and how my personal views have changed on the city (and in other ways). [note: this one could be long, and might not happen tomorrow!]
Anyway, I’m getting back to work. Lots to unpack.

Quick update on my new blog design. FINALLY done! For good, this time–for a while, at least.
