How did you meet your current, or most recent, significant other? The day we met, May 1, 2005, right before I got on the plane I'm certain I was in love with Enrique by about 2 p.m. the day we met, if not earlier. Enrique and I met three months before we started at Yale.… Continue reading QotD: It Was Kismet

Magic peppers for dinner!
The Improvisational Cook Sally Schneider What a satisfying dinner. I used one of my Christmas presents tonight, The Improvisational Cook (given to me by both my brother and his wife AND my dad–had to return a copy) and found that I like it as much as the other Sally Schneider book I won, A New… Continue reading Magic peppers for dinner!

Vacation’s over
I'm packing up to leave Minneapolis and head back to New Haven for the start of my last semester of my master's degree. But *these* pictures are from the Texas leg of the trip. I spent five days with Enrique's terrific family in San Antonio and on their ranch in Realitos, about 65 miles from… Continue reading Vacation’s over
QotD: What A Waste
What's something you bought, knowing it was a total waste of money? My last car, a brand new silver 2001 VW GTI with a V6 engine. I didn't have a car at the time, but I didn't really need a new car either. I'd priced it out and had researched it for a few months,… Continue reading QotD: What A Waste
Avoidng bedtime
I sometimes do not like going to sleep at night, especially when I'm alone. It's 1:30 a.m., I've been exhausted all day, didn't sleep well enough last night. I've visited Sarah on Vox and caught up with her life. She's friends with the Chicago friends I lost touch with, though I didn't mean to, but… Continue reading Avoidng bedtime
Dotster’s sexist PR stunt
Dotster_Dots_Group It's not the fact that a trade show has booth babes: that's nothing new. It's that the Dotster Dots are "several of the most important women on the Internet." In a time where women's wages are actually decreasing, where women still fight to be recognized in technology (and not as a "woman in technology"),… Continue reading Dotster’s sexist PR stunt

Musically disconnected: help needed!
I wrote about music for many years. But somehow, it started fading and now, I'm clueless. I don't know who anyone is anymore. I don't know what's good. I need some recommendations. What should I have been listening to this year that I didn't? It's so embarrassing. Can you help? What were your favorites? Bonus… Continue reading Musically disconnected: help needed!
Cedric Price books
Since June, my mind's been on Cedric Price (1934-2003). He was an eccentric British architect whose work combined theater, tools for social change, and a lack of interest in traditional concepts of form and beauty. Most of his work was never built. He is best known for the Fun Palace (1962-64), a proposal for a… Continue reading Cedric Price books
