I’ve always loved a good coffee shop. It’s my vibe, I guess. I prefer a local shop, preferably with mismatched furniture, plates, and mugs. Local art on the walls. A place where you can sit and study or read or write for hours. My first love from these experiences was and will always be chaiContinue reading “Green Bay Café Crawl: Part One”

Green Bay Mural Crawl
For a lot of people who don’t live in this city, when they hear our name, they probably tend to think football. If you asked them what else we might have, chances are that artists are low on that list, if they’re mentioned at all. However, we have a thriving artist community here – weContinue reading “Green Bay Mural Crawl”
Green Bay Bookstore Crawl
I have a rather long commute to work, and when people ask me why I don’t move to the city where I work, I joke that I could never live in a city that can’t sustain a bookstore. Honestly, it’s half a joke. (The other not-so-jokey part is how expensive said city is, especially sinceContinue reading “Green Bay Bookstore Crawl”
Green Bay – The Best City to Live In
Earlier this year, U.S. News & World Report voted Green Bay, WI, #1 Best Place to Live. Now, even as someone who has returned to this city over and over (I’ve moved here three times, only leaving out of necessity), I have to admit I was a bit surprised to hear this. I mean, haveContinue reading “Green Bay – The Best City to Live In”
Films to Be Buried With, Part Two
Here are the answers to the second six questions Goldstein asks on his podcast. To read the first six, see last week’s post. What is the sexiest film? — Unfaithful with Diane Lane, Richard Gere, and Olivier Martinez. I had no idea what the film was about going into it – I just adored RichardContinue reading “Films to Be Buried With, Part Two”
Films to Be Buried With, Part One
As I wrote about in my last post, I started listening to Films to Be Buried With a few months ago, which is Brett Goldstein’s podcast. I really enjoy listening – it doesn’t matter if I have any idea who the guest is or not. The notion of a conversation about life through film isContinue reading “Films to Be Buried With, Part One”
Podcasts
I spend a lot of time in my car during the academic year since I have quite the commute. Previous to my last move that took me farther away from campus, I used to play music and sing along. Well, that’s not a big deal if your commute is fifteen minutes. At the moment, ifContinue reading “Podcasts”
AI
Recently, a friend of mine was telling me about some adventures he was having with AI-powered chat and how “it’s legitimately pretty incredible.” Now, this is Cody, my friend who is UBER smart when it comes to tech, so when he says it’s incredible, it’s incredible. I told him I was both curious and terrifiedContinue reading “AI”
Scent
In all of my writing classes, yes even composition, we talk about the senses. We talk about how they can enrich the writing, personalize it. We also talk about using senses that are most appropriate for the topic. For example, if I task you with writing a description of the room you are in rightContinue reading “Scent”
Stine
I recently listened to an Armchair Expert podcast interview with R.L. Stine and was reminded about this piece I wrote a few years back for UntitledTown. I knew very little about Stine before the events I wrote about, but I walked away with great respect for the man. What a gift he is. What’s InContinue reading “Stine”
