Wine & The City, Part II

October 25, 2011 eating out

Whenever I think of a wine tasting lounge, I envision a small, solemn group of tall, thin individuals dressed in black. They sit in a row at a long, skinny table with a few bottles of wine in front of them. They very gravely pour a few droplets of wine into their crystal-clear glass. They [...]

Life as a Student Journalist

April 5, 2011 eating out

With all the new technology and the low or non-existent salary for journalists (a-hem, Huffington Post), journalists are expected to work harder, faster, and better—yet increasingly underappreciated and unpaid.

The Present

August 25, 2010 blog meet-up

I talked about the Past. I talked about the Future. You know where this is going. Time to talk about the Present. I’m not actually in the right mind and attitude to talk about the present, because I’m still all hyped up about being back in school. I’ve missed everything about USC—its beautiful, red-bricked, Greek-style [...]
