ART – “Hearts”
More art I’ve neglected to upload. I plan to start putting stuff up daily or something close to that. I’ve also made a givinggrid donation page to help me pay for tuition. There are custom art rewards! I don’t know … Continue reading
ENG 363 – “The Argonauts”
I’m stuck on one line Maggie Nelson wrote on page 37. “I cannot hold my baby at the same time as I write.” This is something that I feared when I became pregnant, when I decided I wanted to have … Continue reading
ENG 350 – “I’m With The Bears”
While I plan to finish the entirety of I’m With the Bears shortly, I am still on a deadline because this is for a class. I spent yesterday at a relative’s house for a family reunion, in the 94°F (34.4C) heat … Continue reading

ENG 350 – “The Water Knife”
Last Christmas, I think it was, I bought a copy of Paolo Bacigalupi’s The Water Knife for my brother in law (it was on his wishlist) and didn’t bother to peek inside. I know now that if I would have, I … Continue reading
ENG 363 – “The Rules Do Not Apply”
I will admit, I did not read the whole of The Rules Do Not Apply by Ariel Levy. I have been busy at work, getting back into the swing of things after being off for a week recovering from surgery. I … Continue reading
ART – “What’s Inside”
Most recent of the art I haven’t uploaded lately. I plan to start putting stuff up daily. I’ve also made a givinggrid donation page to help me pay for tuition. There … Continue reading
ART – Veinity
So here’s some art I’ve neglected to upload. I plan to start putting stuff up daily. I’ve also made a givinggrid donation page to help me pay for tuition. There are art rewards! I’ve been doing a lot of art … Continue reading
ENG363/ENG350 – “THINKING ABOUT BLOGGING”
A quote from last week’s email from the professor for this course: Look at the side-bar. There are posts dating back to 2000. They were backdated on this wordpress (installed 2007) but have been part of my life, my site, … Continue reading
ENG 350 – “Future Home of the Living God”
In her novel Future Home of the Living God, Louise Erdrich grasps and explains some rather important parts of the apocalypse: Humans known not the scale, and indeed prefer to not know (even with all their clamoring to just know), the … Continue reading
ENG 363 – “Dear Ijeawele…”
The premise behind Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is what to do to raise your child a feminist and/or be a feminist while raising a child. Hot on the heels or reading Crispin’s so-called … Continue reading
ENG 363 – “Why I Am Not A Feminist”
“Why I Am Not a Feminist” by Jessa Crispin starts out like so many other feminist manifestos: a plea to not be treated like “every other feminist”. She takes it one step further by declaring she’s not like the other … Continue reading
ENG 350 – “The Road”
Last week I read The Road by Cormac McCarthy. To keep with my theme of comparing the novels I read for class to video games, I’d love to compare The Road to The Last Of Us (Naughty Dog, 2013), but I’ve never … Continue reading
ENG 363 – Pop Culture & Diversity
The readings for this week were the “Race and Entertainment” section of Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay and “Moving Beyond Pain” by bell hooks. One of my classmates touched on a point I previously hadn’t considered regarding these two takes … Continue reading
ENG 350 – Week 2 – Remainder of California
In my previous post regarding Edan Lepucki’s California I mentioned the symbolic “newness” of the turkey baster and the meaning Frida attaches to her other artifacts. There are several times where objects—possessions—are triggers for memories or behaviors for Frida and Cal. … Continue reading
ENG 363 – “Bad Feminist” by Roxane Gay (first half of book)
My fear with any feminism class I take and any feminist book I read is that I’ll be beaten with the two-by-four of feminist rhetoric telling me how awful I am for not embracing the gold-star feminism of hairy-pits and … Continue reading
ENG 350 Week 1 – California Chapters 1-7
The opening of California (by Edan Lepucki) has been refreshing. Growing up with media such as Captain Planet and Ferngully, I’ve been inoculated against the over-the-top personal pleas for the average person doing what they can to fix whatever is … Continue reading

I’m enrolled in two English classes this summer that require blog posts for interaction. I’ll be putting them here on SDO with tags for each class—ENG350 for Dystopian Lit and ENG363 for New Feminist Memoir. Use the links here or … Continue reading
