NaNo Update (Day 3)
It’s Day 3 of NaNoWriMo! Today I’ve chosen to work at Blue Owl, at least for my first writing session. I’m 4 pomodoros in at the moment and taking a little break. I’m a little behind on my daily goal; yesterday the words seemed to be flowing pretty effortlessly, but I’ve slowed down today. ~1,000…

Cloud Atlas
Things are often late in coming to Cambodia, especially movies. So by the time I picked up Cloud Atlas at the Night Market, I’d already heard a fair amount of reviews– though I always stopped them short of plot-spoiling even a tiny bit.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies
I’ve always been a pretty good student. Well, that may actually be a slight understatement. I am. such. a. nerd. I mean, I have a PhD in molecular biology for God’s sake. I learned pretty early on that schoolwork was something I just got. Trigonometry? No worries. Advanced American History? Check. In high school, I…
