An introduction to the Oxford comma--





To top that off, I'll share with you my favorite punctuation joke of all time:

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

If you're not laughing out loud right now, you obviously didn't have Sr. O'Dea for high school English.


(PS: Read Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss. You won't regret it.)
(PPS: Listen to "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend. It's not AMAZING, but it is enjoyable.)

Getting old:


Instead of trying to text friends without the teacher knowing, you're texting your friends knowing they have classes of highschoolers to teach.

kindergarten color theory



This is the start of my color walk project.

Old maps, tinfoils, felt fabric, and pipe cleaners + a little watercolor & acrylic...

as I said, welcome to kindergarten color theory.

Yes, it's equally as bad in real life as it looks in this picture.


You're welcome.

Spoiler alert!: You don't eat meat.

weird things I know as fact:


On Leonardo DiCaprio's grave, he wants it to say:

I ALWAYS BOUGHT DINNER.



No joke.

question of the day:


Why do we just assume that dinosaurs roared?
