I just finally got my hair cut; it’s been a long time, and it was getting very big. I’m super-happy with it; the length and layers are spot-on, and the stylist exactly nailed my bangs, which no longer do the Peggy Olsen split. It’s a nice enough day to spend [...]
outside is frightful
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 [...]

For Cristo’s birthday, I made reservations at Ten Tables in Cambridge — their second location, in the space the original Craigie Street Bistro used to occupy, and which actually has at least 14 tables. The food and service were amazing. Because we ate on a Sunday night, they weren’t serving [...]

I love my adopted city, and have often blogged about its changing character. Feel free to explore my Harvard Square.
City Dance Party!! (arrgh.)
City Dance Party!! (arrgh.)
When I arrived home today, it was to the sight of DJ equipment being set up in front of City Hall, which is pretty much the front yard of Cambridge. There was a big sign announcing the “City Dance Party” tonight. My first thought was “oh, crap.” Luckily, the fabulous [...]
Two years ago today, I met my love.
Two years ago today, I met my love.
I wasn’t expecting him. He is John Stewart, Henry Rollins, Bruce Campbell, Anthony Bourdain, and Agent Dale Cooper rolled into one amazing man. He says that I have a wonderful singing voice, and I believe him. He teases me for my goofy laugh and inability to whistle. He cooks me [...]

Taking the T back home from my office, I felt something stiff and papery drop on my shoulder, bounce off my front, and watched it drift to the floor. It settled between the feet of a thin blond kid in a t-shirt with three greek letters; he was shuffling index cards around. “You dropped a flash card,” I told him. “I don’t know if it’s important.”

I dropped my programming class. And to celebrate, I bought four canvases. I began digging into (quite literally) a massive, sculptural art project I’ve had broiling in the back of my head for months. It’s top-secret for now, but David Lynch is its muse and it may end as half a diptych.

I’m so glad I used a fraction of my zillion hours of banked time-off to extend the holiday into the Inauguration; this was just a fantastic weekend. I’ve been invited to put some art in a ladies’-only Valentine’s Day themed show at All Asia next month; more on that closer [...]
Two Perfect Weeks, part ii
Two Perfect Weeks, part ii
I you want the full story of our west-coast adventures, start reading here, or you will be hopelessly lost. The next day, Sunday, was our last full day in Los Angeles. Cristo’s sister and brother-in-law went househunting in the early afternoon, so we watched their Oscar screener of Revolutionary Road, [...]

The last time my brother came down to the city, I got a text at 11pm inviting me to meet him at the Purple Shamrock, or some other similarly godawful Quincy Market student-tourist date-rapey cattlecar pit. I actually went. I spent 40 minutes waiting in a line outside before giving [...]
