I haphazardly announced, "RIP @priscysinger1" (most understood, but I alarmed some... oops!) last week. I have switched some of my handles in the social media black hole. On Twitter and Instagram, you will find me as @poeticpriscy. My reasons for choosing this name include the similarity between song and poem, as well as my own approach to living life "poetically." Alliteration also had its own heavy influence. This change is something I've mulled over for a bit now, but I'm thoroughly glad I've finally made the jump. 

Getting Back to Gaming and the Comfort it Offers

Lately, I've had the peace of mind to get back to gaming. I say this purposely because in my stressful years of school, I did not engage with gaming or honestly, I didn't engage with much of anything besides the updates of social media.

Latin Alternative Music Conference 2018

I had the privilege of being at the LAMC this year thanks to my friend Ivonne! The event is a weeklong series of events focused on more of the indie/alternative artists of the latin music industry.

DC Digs: Bossa Bistro and Lounge

Being in the DC area for 6 months now, I've done my absolute best to explore during free time and check out music and community events. I keep coming across this one spot featuring events that featured music and world cultures, one of my favorite combinations. It's called Bossa Bistro + Lounge in the Adams Morgan district of DC.

Putting Your Money Where Your Sources Are: Royalties, Nominations and Recognition.

The other week the 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees were announced. Amongst this year's bunch included L.L. Cool J, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Nina Simone and others. (I honestly was so shocked that Nina Simone was not inducted already...) 

The Magic of Moonlight Densetsu

This little melody haunts most of us who grew up watching the Sailor Moon anime. The theme is heard throughout the series and its incarnations: the theme songs, as background music, in the star locket. The above version is one of my absolute favorite versions.
