Last year, I kept a comics diary of AthFest and thought I’d post some of those sketches with the festival coming up again (this week!). It’s funny to look back on these cuz 1. AthFest was totally Erin’s thing and this was her last one before moving overseas. I’ll miss seeing her tirelessly bouncing around! […]
Erin, my partner in crime, has moved to Prague and I thought posting some photos would be a better use of my time than lying around feeling sorry for myself. These are from an early Sunday morning last March. (Don’t blame me for someone else’s grammar, nerds.) We started at the Pulaski tracks which I […]
aka “Halloween Highlights with Wu” aka “Too Many Phone Photos!” Halloween is my favorite holiday and, luckily, it’s Athens’ favorite holiday too. I only stayed in three days the entire month of October and still missed about a half dozen movie screenings, the costumed dog parade, and who-knows-what-else. Here are a few of the highlights: […]
Life lately, speaking just of my own tiny sphere, has been very full but mostly with good things. 1. I’ve seen a lot of family including my mom who is back from India for a little bit 2. Agent Cooper had a urinary blockage and ended up essentially getting a sex change operation… which after […]
Last night, Erin and I went to Kate’s Prince-themed birthday party at Flicker Bar. I honestly can’t think of a better way to celebrate life– your own, Prince’s, or just generally– than dancing with Purple Rain projected on loop and a steady stream of glittery cocktails. This might be the only Prince party in history […]
♥︎Resist: Thank you Desert Island, Françoise Mouly, the artists, and the cool people/places that distrubted this. Jessica was able to get a copy at Avid Bookshop before they were all snapped up and reading it brightened a bleak day. Mooost of the comics are by women; all are choice. ♥︎Athens Day of Resistance: Good vibes, […]
Yesterday was my last shift at the library. It. was. fabulous. I loved the work, patrons, and co-workers (many of whom, I’m proud to say have become great pals). I got this job a couple weeks after we moved to Georgia and here we are, two and a half years later! I’m a huge Wu-Tang […]
One good thing this year was ALL THE CATS. We had our resident cool cats, Matilda Cackle and Agent Cooper, then we had guest kittens via the Athens Humane Society! Taking home these fluffy balls of cuteness with official instructions to “love them and fatten them up,” was a dream (granted, one that involved a […]
To borrow the words of my co-worker, Halloween is essentially a month-long holiday in Athens. It’s one of the many things that makes this town so special. (I started this post right after Halloween but here I am at the airport, rushing to finish before my flight. I’ll fix any glaring typos or misses at […]
After a week of rain, Erin and I took advantage of a warm, cloudless day to check out the graffiti under the Pulaski tracks. I’d never been before but it seems to have frequent visitors so I’ll be back to check out changes. Athens, you are amazing.
