Late to work
The Pacific Northwest T&HC Rail Line is under construction. When I think of railroad construction I think of the old west, of Chinamen tunneling through the Rockies, of Indians routing buffalo stampedes through construction camps, and John Henry racing the steam engine. This was not like that. This was Mexican and white men wearing jeans and ( Read more... ) -
Narcissistic, arrogant, vainglorious bastardism!
Okay, so it's 3:00 am and I just spent the evening talking food, cakes, kitchens, and beds with one of my culinary school friends. On my way to bed I checked my HotOrNot rating because I posted a new photo today. Oh, did someone order me an ego boost!? That was SO SWEET of you! It's not even my birthday!

Completely Exhausted
So exhausted that I don't even know why I'm awake and typing this.
My school schedule is 6:30am - noon every weekday. In order to pass the class you really NEED to be there at least half an hour early to get your mis-en-place (all your tools and ingredients) set up. In order to do really well you need to show up at least an hour early. I'm the " ( Read more... ) -
Girls are (getting less) scary.
1996
We hid out behind the church, skipping service to walk with each other, too shy to talk or hold hands. When it was time to go home and our parents were calling us, I finally worked up the courage to grab her hand and look her in the eye. I was too scared to talk, or even stammer. Her name was Jessica.
"Aren't you going to kiss me?" She asked?

The Son of God vs the Father of Monsters
A few days ago I said I would post another assignment from my English class. This assignment was to compare and contrast two celebrities. I just couldn't see myself writing about sports figures or ex presidents, so here is something slightly more entertaining.

Photo landslide!
So in 2007 my sister Anna asked me to escort her to a photo shoot. While she was changing the photographer asked me if he could take some shots of me. I said "sure" and loved how they turned out. I had a total of one shoot in 2007. In 2008 I had a total of two shoots. Now in 2009 I had one shoot in January, and three for this week! Two of these are ( Read more... ) -
Zombie Hunt: An Apocalypse Survival Guide
In my English class my professor assigned a "Process Paper" in which each student was to write a five paragraph essay describing how to do something. The suggested topic was "How to Host a Memorable Memorial Day Picnic". Blah. I hope you will find my process more entertaining.

My Life Today
So...
Texas.
Cooking School.
I love being here, it's much warmer than Michigan and I'm totally cool with that. In fact, it FEELS hotter than Taipei felt even though I know it is not. I SWEAT here and that was a notable occurrance in Taiwan, it didn't happen every day. I've gotten sunburnt already, and I'm getting tanned. Sunburn is not a new ( Read more... ) -
Upcoming Projects
My current project is a sofa. I'm building the frame out of PVC and rope, and weaving the seating itself out of rope. I will probably wish I'd gone with wicker or cane and rush, but I'm lazy. I'll post pictures of that soon ( Read more... ) -
Recent Projects
So I was asked to post some more pictures of my recent projects, and since I don't want to smother my FaceBook in photos I'll probably never look at again, I'll do that here.
