Nice Day
Today was an absolutely beautiful day, so I decided to go do something outside (I went in to work last weekend, so I was able to take some time off this afternoon). I went to Cedar Rock in Independence, Iowa and toured the amazing Frank Lloyd Wright house there (see the first 7 pictures). It […]

Smile
A random person smiled at me today. For no apparent reason. It was a really genuine smile, and it felt like she was happy to see me even thought she didn’t know me. That totally made my day.
But as I got to thinking about it, I started questioning why that meant so much to me. […]

Graduate School
After working for a few months at my co-op position, I already miss being in school. Actually, I miss the whole academic atmosphere in general… I have been unpleasantly surprised by how difficult (and boring) it is for me to sit in my cubicle for 8 hours every day during the week. I mean, the […]

Running

Shopping
Yesterday, I went shopping at the Jordan Creek Mall in Des Moines with my brother Josiah and my sister Moriah. I bought a cast-iron tea set that I really like (I brewed some blueberry white tea in it today, and it works rather nicely). We all had a fun time browsing various clothing stores, etc.
On […]

False Prophets
My family and I watched an interesting episode of Star Trek Voyager last night. It was called “False Prophets.” In this episode, Kes receives a seemingly-fatal electric shock after unknowingly approaching a sacred shrine. The monks of the shrine inform Voyager’s crew that Kes will die because she has angered the “spirits.” Captain Janeway is […]

Winter
It feels like winter is approaching! I turned on the heat in my apartment yesterday. Now I am nice and cozy, except for when I have to venture out.
As you may have noticed, I have virtually no body fat. I should probably try to gain a bit of weight so that I don’t freeze to […]
