2015 In Review Image
This time last year (at the time of writing this), in England, it was about 11 minutes out from midnight on New Years Eve. I had accidentally short circuited our house and Andrea and I were watching the movie 21 Jump Street. It was around this time we were putting warm clothes on to go to the park

A month and a half into my move to Seattle and home sickness is hitting me hard. Except, I am not home sick for my childhood home in NY (sorry mom), I am home sick for the UK. Lately I have begun to miss the land I left behind more and more. Maybe it because I am not

Happy Thanksgiving a day late! This was my second year away from my home for Thanksgiving, but I had a good time in Seattle with my brother and his friends.....Friends-giving. At least I did not have to make the turkey! However, I was expected to contribute to the dinner, which I did with yummy mashed potatoes. They turned

My first Library Card!  Image
Okay that is a lie. It is like my third library card. But, my two previous cards were from when I was a child, and I never used them. This is my first library card as a certified adult and I WILL actually use it! As evidenced below, I took out two books already! Of course they are

National Novel Writing Month and the beginning of Christmas Image
It is that time of the year again! National Novel Writing Month AND the time of the year when many people, including myself consider it to be the beginning of the holiday season. Yes, I am one of THOSE people. I am the reason Christmas decorations go on sale the day after Halloween. I am part of the

I am not the type of person who likes to interact with strangers on public transportation. In fact I avoid it at all costs. I see someone trying to start conversations with those around them, and sit as far away from them as possible. You start talking to me on the train? I will respond as little as

Fall in the Catskills  Image
Color, color everywhere! Fall hit upstate NY gorgeously this year. Not only were the leaves brighter and more vibrant than they have been in years, it has lasted for weeks! Fall colors have only lasted a few days before, which is sad and not very fun. This year though, this year has been spectacular. The sun has been

 I managed to get to New York Comic Con this year! I went for the first time two years ago, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. So when I realized I would be in the area for NYCC this year, I immediately bought a ticket. Unfortunately, there was only Thursday tickets left

For the Love of Postcards Image
When I moved to England last year, I started to collect postcards. They are such an awesome souvenir! They are super cheap, light, and easy to transport. I now have nearly 300 from my year in Europe. It may or may not have turned into a compulsion since then... Since I have been back in the US, however,

I went to a local film festival! It kind of blew my mind that my area even had a film festival, but there you go. The Big Eddy Film Festival has been around for four years now. I chose a specific documentary to see about the rise and fall of one of the famous resorts of the Catskills,

Back in the USA and back in my parents' house temporarily. I am in relaxation mode until I move to Seattle. The last time I was home was nine months ago when I came back for Christmas, and that was the longest I have ever been away from home. It feels so familiar, but at the same time

So this will be my last bit about Germany! I meant to post this before I left England, but I was too busy, so I am posting this from back in the states!. So I left off when Lennart, Beate, and I were driving into the Black Forest after leaving my relatives' home. Once again I fell asleep
