A housekeeping post: My fall semester starts Monday, and since I’ve been dragging a little lately, I took two days off work last week to dust out my head- and living-spaces. The extra-long weekend was EXACTLY what I needed. In the past four days I did lots of laundry, watched [...]
Im Juli
Im Juli
This month is all about production. Collaborative art with my boyfriend, making things happen in our apartment, and completing my master’s thesis proposal. This last is the biggest news. I found out several weeks ago that Harvard redeveloped my computer science degree program, changing the focus from Digital Media Arts [...]

The last time I made a New Year’s resolution was at least a decade ago, and I think I resolved myself against New Year’s resolutions. Kind of like giving up Catholicism for Lent. Anyway, this year, inspired by unclutterer.com, nubbytwiglet.com, and my paid-off credit cards, and abetted by the Harvard [...]

outside is frightful
Welcome to New England: the mercury flirts with single digits, and us hardy folk are faced with the challenge of dressing to bounce between warm bed, icy winds, overheated public transportation, frigid dashes across streets where drivers interpret red lights as the merest of suggestions. And who knows whether our [...]

baking v cooking
For me, baking is incredibly experimental, with room for great flexibility. When people ask me where I learned this, I simply tell them that “I grew up in my mother’s kitchen.”
