Hot Chicken
Joella’s Hot Chicken, Lexington, KY. This was a delicious early lunch. I was expecting “Hot Chicken” to be a bit hotter, but it was flavorful and juicy. (We got “Hot,” the second hottest option.) The garlic parm fries were…
Wrong Assumptions
Since I’m an urban planner and a preservationist, people ask me about random urban stuff all the time. Why is this street like that? What does this kind of roof mean? When was this built? This can be a really fun game. But to be good at it, I constantl…

When I was six, maybe seven, I won a costume contest at my elementary school’s not-Halloween event. I didn’t make the costume -it was a giant robot costume re-purposed from a previous year’s cardboard and Duct Tape X-Wing, built by my mom from Costco b…

Katsucon! Solo
For those of you who don’t know, Katsucon (an anime convention) was last weekend! After skipping last year due to mental illness, I decided that this year it would be a great idea for me to attend just one day, rather than going Thu-Sun.
