April

I haven’t written anything in a while so I’ll try to sum up this past month as best I can. Back in late March I wrote a paper, which you can read online, about Buddhist themes in pop music. The essay, when printed, is 35 pages long and is likely the most comprehensive look at [...]

Hiatus

Well, where to begin? I have not written here for some time (in fact, my at-least-one-post-a-month format has been broken).

When I finally was officially enrolled in the class, I walked down to the Isla Vista Bookstore to pick up the required reading. As luck would have it, they didn’t have any copies left and told me to check back later. Last [...]

First Day Back on the Job

Monday was the beginning of winter quarter here at UCSB and my break officially ended. Over break I kept relatively busy. I spent two days working with Kevin’s help on some hand made Christmas presents (which involved an insane number of trips to Ace Hardware for materials). I spent a lot of time in LA [...]

Kindling the Fire

American author Washington Irving once wrote “Christmas! ‘Tis the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial fire of charity in the heart.” With that in mind, I decided to do a little kindling myself. My friend Carlyle and I made a trip to Camino Real, where we picked up our [...]
