October 7, 2011 eating out

I just had to post this, even though the pictures come from my iPhone and are horrible. I am bursting with love for my neighborhood and all the Latino community living in it right now. Not only do I have a fantastic supermarket right across my apartment, I also have a street vendor selling fresh-made [...]

The Voice Behind the Blog

August 23, 2011 blog meet-up

I just turned in a 10-page research argumentative today for my history class. My history class is Japan After 1945…an in-depth study into the fall and restoration of Japan after World War II. It wasn’t really a class I wanted to take at first. I had originally planned to take a course on Korea or [...]

The Jacks N Joe in Life

February 8, 2011 eating out

As a reporter, I have interviewed many “big” people out there. I’ve sat next to a Supreme Court justice (and his big bad bodyguard). I’ve shaken the hands of all the major characters of Greek. I’ve hugged a rising hip-hop rapper. I’ve been invited to the Police Chief’s Trojan-decorated office, got admonished by a city [...]
