FOUR IN ONE
OVERVIEW Jase is like any other High School kid, trying to maneuver his family, his peers, his fears and life. Oh, Except for that thing where he has 3 other distinct personalities that advise him for better or worse. He is somewhat of a nerd, but he's so damn cute that the cool kids keep him on the list. Although he's not quite sure what his path in life is yet, his mom, Karen, is certain that she does. Mama Karen inwardly feels she missed her chance to be a "Superstar," and therefore tries to live vicariously through him. Jase rejects wanting to be pushed into that life, but hasn't totally dismissed it. Karen doesn't like to take "No" for an answer, so sometimes Jase will appease his mother and go to an audition or take some headshots or "Whatever."

I Don’t Know Jack
While living in Moscow, Russia, I was once hired to interpret a blind date between a Russian woman and a British man visiting the country that was set up by their mutual friends. I was just starting my career as a linguist, so that was supposed to be good practice for me. It was still that time before all the smartphones, and I felt weird bringing a huge dictionary to a restaurant, so I was just hoping my skills and vocabulary would be enough.

Satan, Sick of Summons . Top Story - June 2023. Content Warning.
Satan started off as a great warrior for anarchy and free will, a genuine rebel without a cause. He hadn’t intended to be evil, he just didn’t like living by the rules. After being banished to hell, god sends books to earth explaining how to summon Satan, just to annoy him. Every time someone uses one of these books and does a summoning spell, they always ask Satan to do a really monotonous and sometimes evil favor, and after thousands of years, Satan is annoyed. He actually earned his deal making reputation by trying to make deals to get out of doing favors.

The Humorous Side of Being a Responsible Adult
Alright, alright, alright! Sit back, grab your preferred beverage - whether it's coffee, tea, or, like me, a healthy mix of energy drinks and existential dread - and let's dive into the rollercoaster ride that is responsible adulthood. It's like being on the most exhilarating amusement park ride, except the safety bar is your health insurance, the loops are unexpected bills, and the photo taken right when you're most terrified is your face every time you check your bank balance. Yeah, fun, isn't it?

Why I'm Convinced My Printer is Possessed
The moment I swiped my card at the electronic store, I was living my best life. After years of lugging my laptop to the public library and tolerating their prehistoric printing facilities, I'd finally acquired my own printer. Little did I know, I was signing up for a comedic horror story featuring demonic circuits, possessed ink cartridges, and more paper jams than a bureaucrat's worst nightmare. Here's why I'm convinced my printer is possessed.
