Wars on Nouns
If you are anything like me, as in born within five or so years of me, you probably do not remember a world where the United States is not at what with… something. For example, I have no memory of a pre-9/11 world. My parents did a decent job of not really shining a light on the subject. I just knew that airport security is very serious. (Story time: On my most recent plane trip, one the the TSA…

New Year, New Me!!!
All jokes aside, last year sucked for me. Nothing outradious happened. I hope I don’t worry anyone too much. I am fully on track with completing my degree. It was just as I was getting to the last few months that I realized I wasn’t participating in the things that I like to do. I love reading and writing. Do I have evidence of that from the last year? No. Have I completed a couple of art…

A Very Hard Watch
While a terrible thing to watch and interact with, it has to be a must. Everyone should be aware of what is in the documentary.
There has been a documentary series that was being talked about all over the internet. Ironically, I thought I would watch it myself instead of taking someone else’s word for it. The documentary I’m talking about is “Shiny Happy People.” To begin, this documentary is tough to sit through. It is not something to watch or read about if you are not in the right headspace to even think about…

What I'm doing now
I figured that with the post; I would do something a little different. It seems that I am always working, either in the lab, writing a paper, or planning thousands of things. Because of that, I have to keep my mind somehow focused. My primary way of doing so is to listen to several podcasts or music. Also, I will give you a hint of a couple of things I am currently doing. What I am listening…

Semester 6 Grad School Reflection
So… I’m back after disappearing for about a semester. Looking through my posts, I only wrote two posts between the last grad school reflection and this one. I haven’t even read a book in a while, which is disappointing, but this is just a wake-up call to get back on track with my yearly goal. I try my best to read at least 50 books a year, and I was about 15 books behind. I think that this…

The Invisible Cost
The data on how women fit into the world. Or that lack of data, I suppose.
Book two of the nonfiction grind includes more information that I feel like I should innately know. This week, I will discussing Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez. This book discusses the many different ways in which women are not accounted for, whether it be everyday living, work, and gaming. There were many aspects of which I had never even thought.…

From the Lower Rung
Reading about how America has a system similar to those found in India and Nazi Germany was an enlightening experience. This is a necessary book to read in my opinion.
I’ve been on a slight nonfiction kick, so be prepared to learn for a bit. While I entered this book knowing I would most likely learn something, I never expected to learn as much as I did. Sure, I read the summary and synopsis, but that did not prepare me for the brain blasts I had multiple times and the profound effect this would have more me. The most recent book to add to my list was Caste:…

Semester 5 Grad School Reflection
This feels a bit like cheating that I am not writing this reflection until the night before the next semester begins, the day that this will be posted. But this is mainly because I did not have a break for either holiday, Thanksgiving, or Winter. I was working the entire time: either writing for my preliminary exam or a paper that I hope to have published within the next year or working on…

Along that Yellow Brick Road Pt 7.5
I quick little trip down fantasy road before we get into Spoopy Season.
I’m back in the land of Oz, and this time, we are back with short stories. Unlike another one with a certain bug at the forefront, this one wasn’t complete nonsense. This one was in-universe for the entire series and actually felt like a children’s book. Little Wizard Stories of Oz is exactly as the title says. They are short stories, bedtime stories if you will. There is no timeline that you…

The Circus Life is Not For Me
I finally got around to a book that has been on my to-read list for years. It wasn't quite what I thought it was, but it wasn't terrible, once you got past all of the terrible parts.
I tried my hand at another book centered around the circus. I thought it would be decent, seeing as there was a movie made based on the book. I thought it would be a cutesy romance, because that was what I saw in the movie trailers. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen was an experience that will be hard to replicate. This books shows what is portrayed by the author as a true experience behind the…

A Romantic Cop Drama?
I thought I was getting into a cute romance novel. What I got was a cop brutality story where everything works out just fine. Don't worry, he wasn't fired even though he totally should have been. Don't even care that this is a spoiler.
I’ll admit, I may have a problem with constantly reading Nicholas Sparks novels. I found two I loved to death, to the point where the covers are falling off. Now, I’m treating his books like Pokémon, and I need to read them all, for better and worse. This book, A Bend in the Road, falls squarely in the middle. Reading the description, I was expecting an adorable romance about two people from…

An Entirely New World Pt 4
In today's insert, we learn that girls are too stupid to understand how compasses work. Guess that means I'm a guy now.
I finished reading the forth book within the Chronicles of Narnia series, and now I’m wondering if there is a point in finishing the series. If not for the fact that I’ve pretty much promised myself and the fact that my friends are adamant that the later books are better. I’ve just feel like I myself am getting more annoyed at the books than I spend time caring about what’s going on. For…
