I was going through the blog and figuring out what to fix, and I realized that in the past three months I’ve really let it go. A big thing has been the succession of themes I’ve been trying on, like a slavering caliph might look through his harem. I love what I’ve going on now, [...]
Sorry I’ve been incommunicado. The last semester of my Master’s program has been terrible, with six classes and scrambling to build a portfolio that makes sense to Americans and all that.
