Keeping things light! I’m finally enjoying my long-awaited vacation—originally planned for last month but delayed due to a snowstorm. That said, I think I forgot how exhausting traveling is… I really thought I’d have more time to just relax, blog, and read. Nope! It’s been a cycle of walking a lot, eating a lot, and immediately having to take a nap lol…

The Drowners by David A. Anderson

When life stops making sense, what keeps you afloat?

For Aaron, this world is an unfathomable puzzle. Plagued by disturbing dreams, he drifts through empty days, shielding himself behind sarcasm and cynical wit.

After being expelled, he sees an opportunity to rewrite his future at a new school. Connecting over a shared love for De Niro films with Robbie, an aspiring actor of Jamaican descent, he unexpectedly finds his companion piece, one person who truly understands him. Together, they navigate the chaotic waters of adolescence, from dramatic first dates to sociopathic bullies, iconic concerts, a dead body, and spaced-out streaking.

With adulthood fast approaching, the crushing weight of societal pressures and devastating revelations threaten to shatter their unique bond. Confronted by the ghosts of his past, Aaron must choose whether to blaze bright or fade away.

A funny and poignant meditation on the forces that shape us and the power of true friendship.

Semantic Error (comic), Vol. 1

A BUG IN THE SYSTEMReason, routine, and rules. These are the tenets that computer science major Sangwoo Choo lives by, so when the rest of his teammates fail to contribute to their group’s presentation, he cuts their names from the project―including that of a complete no-show, whose plans to graduate and study abroad have gone down the drain as a result. Not that that’s any of Sangwoo’s business…until he realizes that Jaeyoung Jang, the talented design major he was hoping to hire for his video game, is: one, that very same classmate, and two, hell-bent on returning the favor and being the biggest thorn in his side! Will Sangwoo be able to debug this semantic error before it upends his entire life?
