Magi: Believing in Other People

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic is a 37 volume manga series (Japanese graphic novel) that ran from 2009-2017. While it is conventionally a supernatural battle series styled after Arabian nights (the main characters are named Aladdin, Alibaba, and Sinbad), it is also noteworthy for most of its battles being waged through national politics and philosophicalContinue reading “Magi: Believing in Other People”

Book Club #3: Black Man in a White Coat

As a part of the One Book One Campus initiative at CU Anschutz Medical Campus, I read Dr. Damon Tweedy’s memoir Black Man in a White Coat: A Doctor’s Reflections on Race and Medicine.

He is halfContinue reading “Vlog #2: he got HER a PUPPY”

The 8-bit art style is very appealing to me but I never tried it because there was no convenient way for me. At that point the game wasContinue reading “Rivals is finally coming to the Switch”

The Evocative Beauty of Lore Olympus

I have been a fan of mythology since I was little, especially greek mythology. My go-to bored reading was D’aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths. Now, I was often very bored so I think I read through this book at least one hundred times. I was drawn to the gorgeous artwork, the powerful simplicity behind theContinue reading “The Evocative Beauty of Lore Olympus”

The Professor of Horrible Deeds

https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-professor-of-horrible-deeds/ When I read this article earlier this month, I didn’t expect that it would stick in my head so much. Dr. Berlin treats pedophiles for a living. In America, there are very few things more hated than pedophiles.
