May 12, 2013 | In less than 2 weeks, my time as a Cal Bear will be coming to a close. As such, I considered all the important life lessons I have learned...and realized that they are all from Harry Potter. Sorry Berkeley, but I am the Harry Potter generation.

Saying Goodbye to the SFMOMA

May 10, 2013 | A resident New Yorker for eighteen years, I have been to my fair share of art museums.

Discovering the Art of Manliness(.com)

May 6, 2013 | I re-watched American Beauty the other night and it struck me in a way that it didn’t when I was ten and had found it in my parents' movie collection.
