I’ve become defensive & protective of this new city of mine, in every way. When I say I live in LA, and I see people make that face, that very same face I used to make, I’m quick to say, “No, I felt that way, too, but now I live here and there’s so much […]
We’re going to Seattle next weekend, for our ONE YEAR anniversary. (My, how time flies…) Any recommendations for places to eat? GOOD stuff, foodie-like stuff. Thai, brunches, regional, whateva.
I have a ball of dough sitting in the oven, which is turned onto “warm,” with a red towel over it and it is absolutely killing me to not peek at it over the next hour. Today, I did two things that I have never done before. I clarifed butter and made something with yeast. […]
I’ve returned from another far-too-short weekend in Santa Monica. (A short, busy weekend… we signed a lease! On our place! His & mine! Together!) We’re still trying to figure out an exact date for my move. It was going to be mid February, then because of work stuff (mine) we decided end of Feb was […]

If you can’t get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you’d best teach it to dance. – George Bernard Shaw Nothing is worth more than this day. – Goethe Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself. – Harvey Fierstein […]
It isn’t what they say about you, it’s what they whisper. -Errol Flynn I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. – Galileo Galilei The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield […]
Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours. -Swedish Proverb
One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.- Andre Gide
images taken from Gotan Project website I don’t like being pressed for answers to questions that start with something like, “Name one…” or “If you could only have one/listen to one/watch one/eat one…” I don’t do “ones.” I can’t choose one of anything and I refuse to live in a world where I can only […]
A little looking back… a couple (photoshopped) photos from my last trip to Amsterdam. I love Amsterdam. This was one of the few boutiques my friend decided to spend hours in and I didn’t actually mind. It was an adorable boutique, the owner was charming, the underwear was delicious, and the cake was beautiful. (click […]
