that’s gangster love!

I love Wednesdays! I look forward to Wednesdays. Not only because it means the week is half way to dying and being reborn, but because Pushing Daisies is on. I don’t make plans, I don’t answer my phone, I sit riveted and watch. Yes, I forgo human interaction for a fairly predictable show. But it’s [...]

courage

Fight or flight? What marks the possibility of that decision? I realize there are several factors, but the one that stands out the most in my mind is courage. Courage is not a trait I’m aware of possessing. I always associate it with grandiose gestures that helped define a moment and felt that after that [...]

sweetness

divorced roommate, office mate and i went to the chocolate show today. it was dee-licious! i tried 85% cacao dark chocolate and was in heaven. seriously, it was perfectly bitter with a slight hint of tartness, not a bit of sweetness, just the way i like it. i adore dark chocolate way more than milk [...]

hi smiles!

the past few days have been incredible. i’ve been happy despite having been thrust into otherwise awkward positions that i’d normally run (i use this term loosely) from. i’ve been laughing more and consciously making the decision to not take myself too seriously. this is good, i’m feeling content. take for instance, my first blind [...]

sweater weather!

i love sweater weather, when the cold creeps up out of the seemingly endless lazy hazy summer. nothing beats being snuggled in bed on a cold fall/baby winter morning with my feet tucked into the blanket staring into the blue glow that falls into my apartment. this change in season brings out the [...]

11.<3.07

It takes very little for me to form a crush on someone. I call this being an open person, Mummy calls this being fickle. She’s partly right and i detest admitting to it but as she so eloquently puts it, I’m “so much more interested in the idea of love that I never make it [...]

blue and purple

my little toes are bruised. it was now-divorced-roommate’s birthday yesterday, she was actually born on election tuesday 20-something years ago! (happy birthday darling!) and in a hap-hazard attempt at being grown up, something i’ve been daring to try everyday for the past few months, i dressed up. luckily my work environment affords me the luck [...]

crazy blind date

i signed up for something called “crazy blind date.” an off-shoot of “okcupid,” this server essentially sets you up on blind dates where you haven’t spoken to or seen said blind date. you just blindly follow the instructions prompted via email to a location on a day and time you’ve previously agreed to.
mummy may have [...]

creative life support

it is 5:05pm on monday evening and i’m sitting at my desk…drinking. (i’m being classy though…white wine from a proper wine glass).
thanks astor wines, this is indeed delicious chardonnay.
i am a bit worried. my vices have steadily become more worrisome. it began with a soda every so often, like once a week. (back story – [...]

what’s going on?

Apologies for the disappearance, I assure you it wasn’t intentional, merely stupor. Allow me to fill you in on the past few weeks…
WORK – The excitement and exuberance I once had for my 1st real job has fizzled into the exhausting reality of domestic responsibility. Atleast once a week a co-worker of mine reminds me [...]
