Never thought my journalism career would lead me to looking up "Pokemon" and "Poke Ball" in the AP stylebook, but here we are

To be honest, any superhero movie that starts off its trailer with the protagonist crashing through the roof of a Blockbuster has already won me over #CaptainMarvel

Twitter knows exactly what kind of important content I need to see

Bad news: I somehow figured out a way to burn chicken last night
Good news: now I know for sure that the smoke detectors in my apartment are working

The International Space Station sprung a leak last night. A 2mm hole, probably caused by a micrometeorite. How did they fix it? Duct tape!

Hell yeah.

I bought this beauty at a local thrift shop today for a deal, it just needs a couple of replacement parts though. I finally have a nice telescope!

It's kind of sad that most of my knowledge of 70s/80s music is just me hearing a song and thinking, "Hey, didn't I hear that song in The Martian/Guardians of the Galaxy?"

There is another turquoise Mitsubishi Outlander in this town, and I've seen it twice in the past 24 hours

My close encounter with tragedy: how I almost poured decaf coffee instead of regular this morning

[Julianne Hodges @JayHodges2018]

If anyone asks me to explain the culture of the Greater Austin area in one sentence, I'd just tell them about how this morning I parked next to pickup truck with one bumper sticker about some kind of farmer's association and another that said "I'm pro-opera and I vote"

[Julianne Hodges @JayHodges2018]

A good representation of the kind of area I'm living in now: I just saw a dust devil in a cornfield

My talents include: immediately recognizing actors who have appeared as one-off guest stars in the X-Files in other 90s-era movies and TV shows and remembering which episode they were in

So, am I finally an adult now? Student loans, a salary, now a car payment 😨

[Julianne Hodges @JayHodges2018]

I somehow found good, roomy street parking on 6th street at 7:30 (admittedly during the week, but still during the summer)
I feel like I should buy a lotto ticket now
