A woman that lived across the street from me in my old neighborhood in Roslindale when I was a kid used to make chocolate chip cookies for me and her husband almost on the daily. Mostly they were for her husband but I knew she made them everyday so I always made time to see…

Gemstones, Cosmic Gifts
I’ve been getting into gemstones. I went to the Peabody museum in Harvard Square with some friends and was completely enchanted with the shapes and colors of their geodes. And various gemstone collections. They looked like miniature art installations. They’re beautiful! It’s a shame not to collect them and adorn our bodies in them as…
Decay of Summer
I love fall. Unfortunately, this thing I love destroys months worth of summer labor. My garden is freezing, which is sad for me. I’ve decided to collect a few pictures of the loss and deterioration that’s ensuing. Though I’d rather not remember it this way. Basil has been planted everywhere. Everywhere. Various yellowing tomato plants….
Stained Glass. The end of an era. #26 of Bucket List!
I feel emancipated. I’ve had my stained glass project from high school in my basement for the past 6 years. I was very excited to finish this in high school. I was the first person in my class to choose my pieces of glass, cut/saw them and copper foil them. It was like the rabbit…
Dream Board and the Universe, Part 2
A little while ago I made a post about dream boards. I’m almost done with them! My life has sort of come to a standstill during the course of the past month. I’ve needed to find the time to do various paperwork, logistical errand running, assisting, craigslist furniture scouting and delivering, used car buying, apartment…
Dream Board and the Universe, Part 1
Do you have too many old magazines!? Do you wish there was something you could do with them that’s fun for you and your friends? DREAM BOARDS There’s been a lot of talk about dream boards lately. The idea is: you rip out phrases and images from magazines and gluestick them all onto a board…
The West, America, Urban Loving, Animals
Really, I frequently think about what massive a country we live in and how little I know about what it all is. Flying over places like Nebraska and Kansas is terrifying. Huge crop circles. All corn. So huge there’s no doubt in my mind they have something to do with aliens. I had the pleasure…
Making up for lost time!: From Zurich with Love
One more! I had a layover in Zurich… I alerted as many people as I possibly could of this because, well, it was torture. I know. “Shut up. You have no idea how stupid you sound when you complain about being stuck in Zurich, meanwhile it’s been snowing snowstorm after snowstorm back home and we…
I have returned! My myth involved lots of food and I am now fatter.
Blogs are completely self serving and self indulgent. I know that, you know that. I have, you see, substituted my blog indulgence for a variety of delicious exotic indulgences during my time away. I ate lots of baklava, had lots of coffee and frilly caffeinated drinks at cafes with plushy couchey seating outdoors, I drowned…
Commencement: Live Your Myth in Greece!
That’s their travel slogan. Ha. Parting from the ‘Merica is always bittersweet. On the one hand, I like to get away, recharge my batteries, take a stroll on the greener grassy knoll… you know. On the other, I know that when I come back I will hate everything for at least a week. Everything. Returning,…
