I’m a senior at the University of Alaska Anchorage and the former copy editor for The Northern Light, my college’s student-run campus paper. This blog is a companion to a travel column I’m writing for the paper while I’m studying abroad in England for the fall 2008 semester, designed as a journal of my experiences in Turkey (two weeks during summer 2008 on a university trip), the UK, and hopefully elsewhere, with a bit of less-interesting places in the U.S. thrown in.
This blog’s title and “about” line are from T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and “Portrait of a Lady,” respectively, because I’m a big Eliot fan and also a gigantic nerd.
You can find me in a number of other places as well:
- Today.com, a site that pays you to write 100-word entries; content there will never be the same as content on my other blogs, but as my blog there is also focused on travel, it’ll serve as a sort of partner blog for this one. Here I can ramble as long as I please; there I’ll confine myself to brief, focused observations.
- The Turning World – fanfic and fanmixes. Yes, really.
- deviantART – photography and photomanipulation, except I haven’t posted here in ages. At some point, though, some of my more artistic photographs from recent years will probably go up here.
- last.fm – see what I’m listening to.
