Playa Del Fuego: My First Burn

Playa Del Fuego: My First Burn

Art installation at the front of camp by "Ursula Sadiq"/Balls Camp You've probably heard of an event called Burning Man, at least in passing. If you would have asked me about it a year ago, I would have only been able to tell you it was a huge event in the dessert for...

Bug’s Bed

Bug’s Bed

I haven't done very much to accommodate your desire for "More Bug" on the blog (except the video footage I posted a few months ago), so today I want to show you his bed. I say his bed as if this is the only place he sleeps, but he honestly rarely does. Not because he...

My Favorite Drinks

My Favorite Drinks

I'm prone to getting dehydrated. I was hospitalized for it as a baby, and it can happen really quickly even today. My lips get white and my body starts shaking! I never remember to finish my drinks, though. I never have. I used to get constantly made fun of at my work...

Bucket List: Climb A Tree

Bucket List: Climb A Tree

One of the goals on my bucket list was to climb a tree. There was a very small tree the front yard of the house I grew up in, and I hung out in it for hours. It didn't have many branches, though, and I always wanted to go higher up. I've actually never even been in a...

Happy Chicken Dance Day!

Happy Chicken Dance Day!

May 14th is Chicken Dance Day, and I think it's a fun one to celebrate. Last year, I put on my chicken nose and walked around downtown Baltimore with the song blasting on my phone, dancing up and down the stairs by the convention center, through crosswalks, and behind...
