Anyone who's read this blog knows that I have a particular fascination with the people who read this thing. I'm incessantly curious about you because why wouldn't I be? It's something special to have people willing to read my thoughts on a semi-regular basis, to have people agree with me to some extent. I guess … Continue reading Why Are You Here?

Blogging IRL
It's weird when people mention my blog to me in real life. I was motivated to start a blog for God know's what reason and now that people, my friends that I pester mainly, actually read my blog I've started to think about answers to their questions. When I recently watched Chimimanda Ngozi Adichie talking … Continue reading Blogging IRL
Lifestyle
I was talking to my friend at work the other day about lifestyle. She works in the paper's lifestyle section so it's no wonder we talked about it like writers - in the abstract. Her job is essentially to create fun articles that are informative and helpful but also more transporting than the run-of-the-mill news … Continue reading Lifestyle
Frosh Week Colds
I'm back at Queen's for my last year. Well maybe, I haven't decided on taking a fifth year yet. Initially, I came to Kingston to study chemistry but I was not a fan of the laboratory life. But that's a story for another time. The first week back is always fun. Frosh week comes and … Continue reading Frosh Week Colds
Better Writers Than I or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the WaitÂ

Well it was just a camp for a week, but I did tell some jokes on a tiny side stage that got some laughs. … Continue reading Second City: Silly and Serious
Summer and School: Nothing in Particular
So, another summer has passed. I have come to appreciate seasons more and more as I get older. I'm not saying I am old but rather I have more freedom and so there's something unstoppably refreshing about change. Change means action, it means getting a grip on yourself. It's very easy, especially while still living … Continue reading Summer and School: Nothing in Particular
Hungarian Dancing in Budapest
Usually, I am not proud of things I have no personal claim over. This blog and my other writings make me fiercely joyful, I am completely self-made in this field and have not had help from anyone but good editors really. So, I was not expecting to care about being Hungarian when I came to … Continue reading Hungarian Dancing in Budapest
Perspective in Melk Abbey
The other day I visited the Melk Abbey in Austria. It was about an hour train ride to the town from Vienna, the Abbey itself was visible above the entire town like some shining Sun with it's brilliant yellow exterior. Stift Melk, as it's known in German, was reconstructed in Baroque effervescence in the mid-18th … Continue reading Perspective in Melk Abbey
A Poem Called Mucha Museum
Sarah Bernhardt Comes From Paris, Do you? Je sais que tu comprends, tu as vu le video come moi. It spoke of Mucha and his muses, his girls - first to be lusted then the result of love - how do I love thee, mon cherie? Is my obsession with you, or at least my … Continue reading A Poem Called Mucha Museum
