I need to do something exciting this weekend, really.

Civilization - Justice
WHAT. YES.
So we didn’t end up going to Bali. Lesson learned: the expiration date on your passport means shit.
After we let our soiled travel plans marinate a little, things just kept getting better. Poor Yong experienced every worldly suckerpunch possible in the following days.
I guess all I can say now is: Hello Spring, watch your back.

The voice is Miki Endo, a 25 year old public worker in the Crisis Management Department of the city of Minami Sanriku. She is saying, roughly, “Please run away fast.” The mess of red beams are the skeletal remains of the building from which Endo made her final broadcast.
“Miki Endo did not let go of her microphone, even during the very moment the black waves of the tsunami...
In roughly 7 hours I will be taking my last final of the quarter. And in a little over a day I should be setting foot on Balinese soil. So many opportunities for growth.
Tonight, I’m swimming in my good fortune.

HOW TO HELP
AMERICAN RED CROSS: Emergency Operation Centers are opened in the affected areas and staffed by the chapters. This disaster is on a scale larger than the Japanese Red Cross can typically manage. Donations to the American Red Cross can be allocated for the International Disaster Relief Fund, which then deploys to the region to help. Donate here.

All right, everyone, here’s where we’re at. Radiation has leaked from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. This is bad. However, it’s apparently not as bad as it could be, because the reactor core container itself wasn’t damaged. Furthermore, the mist hovering above the plant implies…

I’ll be leaving for Bali. In a little more than a week, I hope I do something that scares me for once.
International Women's Day
Hold, love, and appreciate the women in our lives today and everyday. Above even that, do the same for ourselves. We are beautiful, complex, and without boundaries.
I can never get anything done until I pose the risk of possibly not getting it done. Procrastination is the devil’s prostitute. I’m not sure if that’s a workable metaphor, but I’m going with it.
I can’t wait to cut off this sad mop. I CAN’T WAIT.
The Second
I hate waking up on the wrong note, realizing how incredibly alone you are, and not wanting to do anything but sleep all day.
Good morning Second, be easy on me please.
There are
13 days until we present our documentary 16 days until the end of my quarter 18 days until I’m in Bali 43 days until Coachella
not enough days to enjoy this crazy existence
Somehow
it always ends up being 4AM.
Hello March
and hello Women’s History Month. Show some love.
