July 31, 2011 My story

Summer vacation started more than two months ago, but I feel like it just started for me. I am right now giddy with anticipation for all the things I can finally do with the three weeks worth of free time in my hands. It feels a bit weird, however, to leave the Los Angeles Times [...]

Artist vs.Journalist

July 21, 2011 eating out

Jane and I had some interesting conversations while she was here. We talked about the differences and similarities of an “artist” and a “journalist.” Well, I don’t feel comfortable and confident enough to call myself a legit journalist yet…but Jane graduated from Pratt Institute and is working as a graphic designer. And I don’t know [...]
