One thing I like about living with roommates is that we have a collective bookshelf. Our individual rooms aren’t that large, so to save space we started putting all of our books together. With the time that summer break frees up, I’ve managed to finish a couple, all of which are good leisure reads i.e. […]
The light of my life, my unwaveringly wondrous canine companion.
“The Wading” I watched you from the shore, some time ago Before the salt winds came and swept my head. The waves lapped up our memories, to and fro. The rhythms syncopate into a flow And darkness stirs dream visions I’ve misread. I watched you from the shore, some time ago. Dry screeching […]

Every once in a while Robin and I babysit a six year old girl. She doesn’t fall asleep unless we tell her bedtime stories, and since neither of us know children’s tales off the bat, we make some up. Recently she requested a story about toilets. This is the result. . ‘Kevin the Toilet’ Once upon a […]

A collection of mildly interesting photos taken on my cell phone, 2014-2015.
I have horribly unrefined taste. That can be a good thing when it comes to being adventurous and trying new foods, since it’s a rare occasion when I come across something I don’t like, or would mind eating.
