Rants o’ Mine, Take Three
So why is it that people feel the need to stand directly in front of the subway doors when they have no intention whatsoever to get off the train? Okay, I understand that sometimes, the trains are very crowded and there’s nowhere else to go, but I’m talking about the times when it’s not that

Playing With Your Food
This is what happens when you’re a regular at a place that serves condiments along with their cheese plate and they want to make you laugh: Plus, there haven’t been nearly enough pictures up here this week. This piece of art is composed of two of the amarone cherries, a dab of the apricots with

Slow Down, You’re Movin’ Too Fast*
I’m actually listening to my body. For a change. It’s telling me that it’s exhausted and gave me a good dose of what turned out not to be the flu, but was actually strep throat. Yippee! So, I’m on antibiotics, etc. and am taking it easy. Waaaay easy. And don’t worry — I’m not contagious

Back in the Land of the Living. Kind of.
I seem to be on the upswing from my bout with the flu. Yesterday morning I awoke to find that I didn’t have a fever for the first time since Sunday night, which was good. Although I allowed myself to sleep late, I was going stir-crazy from being in my studio apartment for two days,

The Plague, Part Trois
Now, new and improved! With sandpapery throat, chills, aches, sweating, and 102 degree fever! Going to the doctor tomorrow. Sick 3 times within a month? Not good. Okay, I’m about to make the big move from the couch to the bed. Wish me luck.

The Ups and Downs of a Week
This week has been strange, to say the least. There were the highs, like the amazing dinner I had at Hearth (a very generous and thoughtful birthday present from my friend Rob); catching up with my friend Sara at Dos Caminos (she was also sweet enough to bring along a belated birthday present); and a

A New Year, A New Beginning
Despite a bit of rockiness at the end of the year, 2004 ended well and is already off to a good beginning. My New Year’s Eve itself was great — John and Katie (from the beach house) cooked a fabulous and festive meal and pulled together a fun group of people and then we rang

A Year Through My Lens, Part 2
I don’t know if I should chalk it up to getting older or being on vacation or what, but I spent all of yesterday until about 5pm thinking it was Thursday. Was very relieved to discover it was only Wednesday, and have been very productive today to make up for my own stupidity. Oy. And

A Year Through My Lens
As I mentioned, I made a few photo calendars (and photo note-cards) to give as gifts. Over the next few posts, I wanted to share some of the images I selected to highlight the year: More to come tomorrow!
