He would have been 14 today.
Today, I would have exclaimed, “Happy Birthday, Kulfi!!!” And you would have wagged your tail emphatically because you knew what high pitched voices meant: cookies. “Do you want a cookie?” was often asked in the same pitch. You thought anything at that octave meant food. You would have been right.
I miss you every single day, Kulfi. I wish you were staying up with me...

In which public radio gives me a guilt trip.
Dear NPR/KUHF,
I think it’s fine that you guilt tripped me for a week about donating to public radio. Yes, you have convinced me that i can give up one latte a month. You have shamed me into no longer being the freeloader that mooches off of the generous people. Whatever. You win.
BUT YOU WILL NOT succeed in guilt tripping me for wanting the damn “free” thank you gift. I...

A Tribute to the Best Dog Ever
This afternoon, our sweet Kulfi passed away peacefully. He was thirteen years old, but didn’t look a day over five. He was in the car, and quietly put his head down, and passed on. He was doing one of his favorite things, taking a car ride. He loved car rides. He just wanted to go along with you.
The first night we brought him home, he was so small, so fluffy, and when he slept he curled...

“I made a wrong turn, and ended up in law school.”
Nerd Quotient.
Friend: You have over 5200 lexis points?
Me: What?
Friend: You have like, five thousand two hundred something lexis points.
Me: Oh. That. Yeah, it keeps going up.
Friend: ... You haven't even finished a semester in law school.
Me: Is there a point here?
Friend: Yes. You are a nerd.
Me: If you needed the lexis point total to tell you that, you don't know me very well.

You make my head ache.
The smell of smoke makes my head hurt.
I know you think it’s sexy and addictive and maybe you only do it when you drink and maybe only when you’re stressed and you certainly have the freedom to have vices and you take cool photos with the cloud of smoke coming out of your hipster mouth, but it hurts my head.
The smell is noxious.
And it reminds me of people I do not want to remember.
That’s...

Vintage typewriters & why I need one now.
There are things that need to be done. Namely: My memo, my outlines, studying for finals, listening this how-to-study-and-write-great-essays-thing, watching barbri videos, organizing my notes, and of course, because my professors are sadists, there’s still the regularly assigned reading to do.
But instead of doing any of that, I keep thinking about how this one fiction piece I have is so...

How school wastes your time with more school.
My school has these things called study skills seminars, about once a month.
I’ve been to two of them. And generally speaking, they are pointless. Sure, there’s orange juice and bagels, but that’s really beside the point.
This week, when I got the email about the “Essay Writing” seminar, I fully intended to skip it.
I was completely fully determined to sleep...
