Reading and writing my way through time and space.
You know, I do not talk about my heritage as often as I would enjoy. For those of you who are unaware, I am a mixed bag of three races: Mexican (50%), African (25%), and European (25%). You can read all about my thoughts on being multi-racial in this post I wrote around this time … Continue reading On Being an Academically Inclined Latina and Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
My favorite incarnation of the Doctor is the twelfth. Peter Capaldi. Bottle-top crunching eyebrows and grumpy Scottish accent. When I first started watching Capaldi's take on the Doctor, I was somewhat indifferent and had to adjust quite rapidly to the sudden mood shift. First of all, allow me to explain that until I watched Capaldi's … Continue reading “You will run, it will walk”: Grief and the Twelfth Doctor
Why do the men die? Why do the women weep? How am I to tell them We all only sleep? My head is on fire, My chest carries a brick. How on earth do I convince them This life’s only a trick? Let my barbaric yawp sound Across the roofs of earth and sky. I … Continue reading Quatrain for a Glass Heart (A Poem)
Well, it looks as if every other Monday is going to be the new posting schedule from here on out. I do realize that I did not post last week, and it was quite difficult to just let that sit. But, I am in my senior year of university and only a few months away … Continue reading “What We Stay Alive for”: Why We Need Art to be Fully Human
Welp. Hello, my beautiful friends. I send my most heartfelt apologies as I know I was unable to post this past week. I almost wasn't able to post this morning either!

Bach’s Mass in B Minor
Well, hello there, my lovely friends! I have returned to the interwebz! It's been too long since I used the intimidating graphics interchange format (.gif) images of my precious, psychopathic boi. 🙂 I sure missed writing for you all, but this month flew by so rapidly, and I needed the time off. Thank you all … Continue reading My Return to Civilization and Blogger-dom (feat. Andrew Scott gifs)
Good morning, beautiful friends! How are we all today? I have been doing some reevaluting and reconstructing this week, and it's been absolutely lovely. 2020 has been a year, hasn't it? Goodness, I am coming to the conclusion that no one who lives through 2020 will ever forget it for as long as they live. … Continue reading Ankündigung! (Announcement): July 2020 Blog Hiatus
Doctor Who series ten spoilers incoming... Last Monday morning was tough enough to begin with, but coupled with the fact that the previous night had seen me put myself through the Doctor Who series ten finale "The Doctor Falls," I could not help feeling oddly grief-stricken at the loss of one of my absolute favorite … Continue reading In Extremis: Doctor Who’s Missy and the Art of Virtue
Classical music is something you all know by now that I just love. I have been playing piano for twelve years now (since I was six), and each year I fall more and more in love with the myriad of classical composers, challenging pieces, and compositions written by 200-500-year-old dead men. It's a very nerdy … Continue reading In Which Ioan and I Nerd Out Over Classical Music and Beethoven (a vlog)
Good morning, lovely friends. I don't, as you can probably tell, have a long blog post planned for us this Monday. Until Friday, as a matter of fact, I'm taking a hiatus from all kind of technological matter. I'm not texting, I'm not Snapping, I'm not (this one was the worst) browsing on YouTube for … Continue reading Decompression Week: Trying to Eliminate “Hurry”
