Okay, an admission: My hair is naturally curly to wavy. Curly on the ends, wavy in the middle. Every other day, I wash and blow-dry it straight, and then put it briefly in hot-rollers, to both smooth out any excessive curl, and coax what’s left into tamer waves. On the off days, it gets a [...]

Engagement photos
Posted in Uncategorized on April 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I was a little hesitant to schedule engagement photos–I’d never done it before, and it seemed like it might be a little cheesy. How could we spend two hours…doing what?…posing? Kissing? Showing off my ring?
As it turned out, it went wonderfully. We had to do it at eight o’clock in the morning, because I have [...]
NoHo Art Walk

Last weekend, with spring in full, full bloom, M. and I trained down to NoHo to walk around the neighborhood. One of his teaching colleagues is an artist who works with printmaking and mixed media; two of her pieces were being displayed in the Art Walk.
It was so great to be out in the city. [...]

I’m recovering from it. I’ve had the longest, strangest dreams. I dreamt an entire college class, with syllabus, and short fiction reading, and everything.
First I was late for it. Then I arrived, in pajamas, but syllabus and handout in hand. Wooden desks, the kind without a full desktop, just the side. Schools that use these [...]

Apples. I know that it’s spring, and berry time. I’m ready to make berry tarts, folds, crumbles, and buckles. But my love of loves isn’t sure he likes berry desserts, so I’m hanging onto apples–the fruit of fall–for long enough to make an apple pie this weekend.
I made bread last night, braided loaves with asiago, [...]

A little after eight o’clock this evening, my floormate D. came into the Common Room to tell us all that there had been (another) car accident down in the intersection below our floor. It’s apparently a tricky intersection; there have been many car accidents there over the two years I’ve been here. I sleep on [...]

I surf handbags on Etsy while watching Law&Order in my pajamas.

It rained all morning. All I wanted to do was burrow in and watch movies on Bravo! and TNT. But alas, my thesis is due tomorrow. So I had to buckle in and work. I went out once, to see what time the stationer’s opens in the morning–what time will I bind the copies of [...]
