Little Buddies
After we lost Jack, this little buddy started coming around. He’s of obvious relation. Little Buddy‘s first appearance was to comfort the meowing Jack who was tucked into the cat carrier before the first of 4 trips to veterinarians all over the Island. Since that unfortunate day, Little Buddy has been a back porch staple, [...]
Jack Nimble, Rest In Peace
I named you Jack Nimble because you were narrow and slender and small and I imagined if there were a lit candle you could arc it swiftly. I felt your spine, each bone under a soft slip of skin, that knocked gently at my knee. Your movement, a plea mostly misunderstood. Your nails, with the [...]
[What I Am Doing on My Summer Vacation] {Part 1}
1. Watching the butterfly activity around the Electrician‘s butterfly bush. 2. Collecting hugs. 3. Trying to return to baking. Here is a two-layer orange cake with lemon glaze icing. For my Pop’s birthday. 4. Weekending in the Hamptons. That’s an outdoor shower next to the “Love Shack”. 5. Seeing the family. 6. Eating A LOT [...]
Embodying Freedom
Peace, rest, relaxation and pedicures involving American flags! It’s Fourth of July, Colorado family-style. Woken up by the dapper feline Kramer, Independence Day started with a deep long meow. It was a good thing too as top on the day’s itinerary was Om Time‘s Firecracker Flow, a strenuous two-hour yoga session in one of Boulder, [...]
Camera Upgrade
Doubling my megapixel count, I am now the proud owner of a new digital SLR camera. I spent a whole morning getting to know its buttons and dials around the grounds of The Electrician‘s, who so generously bestowed it to me, in sly fashion, in honor of my graduation. Besides the 100+ pictures of warranty [...]
Addy
It has been awhile since I have made something that wasn’t edible. My craft desk, sewing machine, miles of cross-stitch floss and pile of fabric has beared with my studies. Unfortunately, a normal week of work and school does not allow for discretionary crafting. But with spring break catch-up under my belt, I was inspired [...]
Hello, February.
2010 is moving pretty fast. With January tucked under its belt and vibrant floral dresses already in the shop windows, soon it’ll be time for Spring. Spring which seems an impossibility to my numb toes. Spring, the short stop before Summer which finds Fall too soon. And then ’11. But for now… Winter. And in [...]
Doin’ the Cockroach, Yeah.
This morning I became a true New Yorker. No, it wasn’t my tenure in Brooklyn, 7 years, but rather that I have shared an intimate living space with a hodgepodge of beings who are of no relation to me who I would have never otherwise met had it not been for… New York City. One [...]
To Tie-Dye For
My Food Fight bag and I get around. In fact, the picture to the left was taken by VegNews editor, Aurelia d’Andrea, for their press blog all the way in Ko Chang, Thailand in March 2008. On several occasions, I have been greeted by Portland expats across the country, recognizing the little-vegan-grocer-that-could’s signature font. But [...]
