Mmm, delicious unicorn
I have to give my husband credit for setting this up for me to find. I took and then edited the picture, though. I went with a sort of flowery text to contrast with the horrible (but probably delicious) unicorn meat.

Breathe the earth
If you need a ridiculous quote that also makes a concerning amount of sense, InspiroBot is your…bot. I used a picture of water to contradict a quote about air (to breathe), but also that contains Earth, which is in itself a contradiction because Earth is mostly water. I just like the font. Thought it…

Week 4
I really love photography. I have an absurd amount of pictures on my phone and laptop. I do the same thing with games-tons of screenshots. Camera phones are one of my favorite ever inventions because of that. I discovered Picasa this week, which is awesome. I will make so. many. collages. I will have…

Guess What It Is
What it says on the tin. Guess what this photo I deliberately messed up is. -
I’m taking back the crown
I’m gonna gush about American Gods some more. Aren’t you excited? As I’ve written before, the use of a visual medium for American Gods is amazing. There’s a lot of framing and perspective shots, especially when it comes to Shadow. Like, A LOT. I’m not kidding. I’ll refrain from putting them all in. This one…

Fridge Cat
Malkav never gave up on his desire to live in the fridge, even after the time when he was a kitten that we didn’t see him in there, and he got shut in. Or when he really got too big to fit in there. -

Glitter, Glitter
I searched for ‘glitter’ in Flickr. I greatly enjoy glitter. A lot of people hate it, but I like sparkly things. This…looks nothing like it. -
Welcome to the end of eras
I highly recommend InspiroBot for all your motivational poster needs. -

If it feels good, tastes good, it must be mine
There are crackers. So many crackers. Portable, and don’t require heat or cold. Ritz crackers and club crackers. Some of them have bologna, and most of them have cheese. Fake cheese, which I get crap about from my friends, but fake cheese is delicious and I will defend it until I die. Yeah it’s a…

Tonight, the foxes hunt the hounds
American Gods is amazing in both print and on TV. It gets very meta at times, as the gods are extremely genre savvy. The most basic premise of the story is how legends are created, live, and die. It’s about what humans do for the gods, and what the gods do for us. It works…

If I can live through this, I can do anything
Grace sits on the desk at the front of the room, watching her students file out. Her eyes occasionally flicker to the floor, where she dropped half a dozen dry erase markers. She always leaves them where they land. It’s a futile battle to try and hold on to them. She earned a PhD, but…

Promise me a place in your house of memories
Halloween. I love Halloween, so much. There’s candy (I have a massive sweet tooth), there’s costumes (I like dressing up. I make my own.), and horror movies. I love horror movies. Good, bad, doesn’t matter, I will watch it. There’s pumpkin carving, which is ridiculously fun, partly because it’s so messy. I also like roasted…

I can move mountains, I can work a miracle
I have a lot of favorite historical figures. I figured I’d write about a dude who doesn’t get near enough credit: Martin Luther. This is the guy who called out the Catholic church. He literally made a list of his grievances, and attached it to their front door. That took a lot of courage. The church was…

Things are shaping up to be pretty odd
My first name is sooooo frustrating. It was a hugely popular baby name when I was born. I was never the only Jessica in class at school. I think my mom sort of regrets that. My middle name is Carrie, and I would bet money that it comes from the Stephen King book. He is…

Last Night’s Clothes And Tomorrow’s Dreams
I have this recurring dream. It’s The Zombie Dream. And, strangely, it’s not a nightmare. Just a dream that I have every few months. The fine details change (though I can’t remember them, I just know that they are different), but it’s always the zombie apocalypse, I always survive, and I’m never afraid. Sometimes I’m…

The Hardest Choice
When my nephew was a year old, his parents packed up him and my three nieces and drove to Fredericksburg for the 4th of July. Now, they had four kids (now there’s 5), and zero time to themselves, so we (Me, husband, and two other friends) take the kids, and send them out the door…

Weekly Summary 2
It has been…2 hours and 15ish minutes since I tried to Tweet today’s Daily Create from my phone. This happened with all of them (Which I only noticed when I went to make this post and they weren’t on my Twitter), so they’ll be posted here. We’ll see if it ever actually posts. (Edit: Miracle…

My Favorite Photo
This is Malkav (and Detective Pusheen, Pusheenicorn, Pusheenasaurus, and Mersheen. I may have a Pusheen problem). I found him in 2011 when we moved to a new apartment, and hear tiny meows coming from underneath the stairs. Sure enough we found a litter of four 6ish week old kittens. Three of them went to the…

Weekly Summary
I hate Instagram. Is a desktop app really necessary? Really? And I couldn’t even get it to work, I had to use my phone. Making a post was a HUGE PAIN. That was what I learned and what frustrated me this week. My social media rage aside, I also learned how to set up a…

Legends
I was super disappointed when folklore was removed from the Historic Preservation department. I love a good legend, or myth, or folktale (I think most historians do). We all have stories, we grow up on stories, we make our own stories. The world is layered with myths and legends. Some things are built on them.…

Hello World
Hey! I’m Jess, I’m a senior Historic Preservation major. I knit in my spare time, my favorite color is rainbows, and I love watching a good mythos grow. So I am excited about this semester’s theme. I’m going to have to edit media into this post later because Instagram does not like being used on…
