hello!! currently trying out substack as a new place to yap every week, as this blog is on indefinite pause!

you’re the breeze in my austin nights
Honestly, so many experiences can be summarized in just a few strokes: graduated, started work, moved to Austin, played a lot of Valorant. When phrased like that, it feels like time has completely escaped me, spilling through my fingertips. But I think a lot has happened and changed, even if it doesn’t necessarily feel like it! Could Christina a year ago have predicted that she’d be here?

a retelling
A reflection on the nature of retellings of memory and Greek mythology, mixed with brief reviews of Hades (2016) and Ariadne.

INT. CHINATOWN
A review/reflection of how Shang-Chi, Interior Chinatown, and Houston Chinatown reflect the Asian-American identity - tied together with usual rambling Christina Ji flair

musings on memory, emotion, and ambiguity - less a blog update, more a reflection on Omori and Almond. really nothing to do with Friday the 13th besides serendipitous posting date

devotions, by mary oliver*
The end of junior year, summer, reading in the sun, and musings on feeling both like time is moving too slow and too fast.
