Yo, she’s so cool! I met her the day after the Jon Bellion concert, so of course, I was already beat. By the end of this day, I knew I was going to be exhausted. But at least the exhaustion was voluntary. Sometimes, I feel like my soul is dying and art is the only […]
Read More I met Jamilla Okubo, and that was fun.I didn’t particularly want to read this book. I wouldn’t have gone looking for it myself, but my auntie gave it to me for free, and rarely will I refuse a free book. Before she’d given it to me, though, she’d warned me that it wasn’t as good as Americanah. I became apprehensive at that […]
Read More My Thoughts: Behold the DreamersI saw Jonathan D. Bellion in person for the first, and what I hope will not be the last time.

Read More Kuukua and the Cavorting CupsMaking it past halfway of any project these days is a milestone – especially for me, with my artistic commitment issues and the tragic tendencies of vim to die. But we still in this thing! And OTC #5 will be ready for download on Friday, 29th September. 🙂 Making it more than halfway is as […]
Read More And she’s back for the second half!I think everything I’m saying is obvious, but you never know in this world. In any case, things that are known don’t suffer from being articulated again. So, here we go. As far as I can see, if anyone truly professes to be fighting for a cause that is in any way bigger than them, […]
