Resolutions are for suckers and to-dos are for aspirants. I’m scheduling action items for throughout 2012. I’m getting things built, published, placed, and pushed through.

oh, christmassery. I love love giving presents, and I’ve been told that I am particularly good at it. I am totally the kind of person who keeps multiyear spreadsheets of gift-giving ideas. But I’m so bad at actually making the effort of going out and doing the shopping—especially when it’s [...]

all about FOCUSING. I’m spinning my wheels between three sprawling creative projects: my enormous graphic novel, a shorter 5-20 page comic I’m writing/illoing for a book competition, and my ss/ss triptych. Plus I just picked up a freelance web gig kind of by mistake. Now I need to slow down [...]

Skipped the family affair to attend my friends’ Sixth Annual Weird Thanksgiving. There were two birds: turkey and emu, and everything else was potlatch. I learned that “dressing” is midwestern for “stuffing,” was reminded how incredibly witty everyone I know is, and discovered the cardgame “who beats who?” (and realized [...]

So, I finished my thesis project. It’s portbou1940.com: a hypertext narrative examining the death of German-Jewish social critic, philosopher, and dialectical historian Walter Benjamin. I’ll be working on revising the written thesis this month, and turn it in next month; the official conferral of my masters degree will be in [...]

FOUR YEARS of awesome

Tomorrow is my FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY with the most wonderful, talented, funny, clever, sexy, brilliant, amazing man in the universe. On top of all that, he cooks, too.

Before I met Cristo, I was an extremely picky eater. So here is an abbreviated list of foods that I either refused to try because I assumed they were gross, or else convinced myself that I hated—until I met him:

I’m battling the last gasps of a miserable cold. I’m not up to leaving the house, doing laundry, or working on art for my thesis, but I’m fine to read books, stare at screens, and tap out text. Since this is the best I’ve felt in four days, I’m tackling [...]

My blog is currently mostly on hiatus as I complete my master’s degree thesis, but I occasionally pop by with small updates, primarily about the thesis project. As soon as that’s complete, beginning in October/November 2011, expect a massive redesign of positdesign.com. You can still find me on other parts [...]
