A Late September Adventure (Day 3: Denver, CO)
In an unfamiliarly cold haze of morning déjà vu, my alarm once again went off at 4:15 a.m. on Monday. Unwavering from its first episode, I blinked my eyes slowly open, pondering the “what if I just slept through this?” narrative. But as I trudged my way into the bathroom, my toes cold and my… Continue reading

A Late September Adventure (Day 2: Bend, OR)
At home, a typical September Sunday morning usually consists of church, with the occasional play of hooky to watch a Giants football game on television. They are always slow moving and relaxing and comfortable, which made this Sunday morning in Bend feel just like home. After getting the chance to catch up on some sleep,… Continue reading

A Late September Adventure (Day 1: Bend, OR)
At 4:15 a.m. my alarm went off and my eyes blinked slowly open. Waking up seemed impossible, unbearable, illogical, but somehow I dragged myself into the bathroom, turned on the surface of the sun grade light, and brushed my teeth. It was 6:00 when I got to the airport, and everyone seemed to be thinking… Continue reading

5 Lessons I Learned from Hamilton & Lin-Manuel Miranda
Yesterday I saw Hamilton at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles and it’s safe to say my jaw has yet to stop hanging open. It lived up to all the hype and was somehow able to be better than I expected. For amongst the talent of the actors and actresses, the incredible music provided by… Continue reading

Strain then Stir: A New Cooking Segment (Kind of)
Hello friends, my name is Kim, and I am a terrible cook. Okay, not terrible. Not great, though. A hard average if I’m being honest. A passing grade but not one to hang on the fridge, if you catch my drift. I’m also a rather monotonous cook. I have a schedule, a limited bank account… Continue reading

How to Survive an Alison’s Adventure (Day 1&2)
Day 1 With a bang my eyes were open, the wheels were on the ground, and the lights in the cabin were on. It was 9:15 pm on a Thursday and my dad, my sister and I had just landed in Hawaii. We walked through the terminal, eyes red and hair knotted, looking at all… Continue reading

2018 Olympics Time Capsule Blog
As I have mentioned before (possibly more times than I’ve realized), I love the Olympics. LOVE. So much so that once every two years I repeatedly say, “no, I can’t hang out today—or any day for the next two weeks—because I’m inside watching every single minute of Olympic coverage I can absorb.” (Undoubtedly while wearing… Continue reading

2017 Goals Check-In (#2)
The fact that we are already one week into July has me feeling a little bit like this: This always seems to happen. One minute you’re ringing in the New Year, the next you’re…ringing in the New Year. Everything—except lines at the DMV, clocks in an office building, and lethargic pedestrians—moves so fast! This year… Continue reading
