Alrighty, people. I’m nearly out. I leave early early Friday but am still pondering my course. I was dead-set on this path: Atlanta to Tucson But I have been advised by anonymous parties to do something more along the lines of this… Atlanta to Flagstaff, AZFlagstaff to Tucson, AZ I’m not convinced either way [...]

On French food and memories: A final visit to Violette
Tonight, for the first time in quite a while, I dined at what used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Tucked into an inconspicuous corner off Clairmont Road, Viollete restaurant formerly occupied first place on my list of favorite lunch establishments. Back in the days of non-profit work and poverty, I dined [...]

Travelblog Mobile, Alabama: A compendium of reviews
In case you missed it, I drove home to Mobile recently. It was to be my last visit there before the big move to Tucson. To put it lightly, I was NOT looking forward to this trip. I just knew it would be heinous, and that my family would judge me, and that, as always, [...]

I know I know I know I know
How is it possible that all these goodbye hugs are making it even harder to let go? And why do all these sweet affirmations, whispered reassuringly in my ear, feel so patronizing? And why, although I’m so so tired, can’t I just fall asleep now and make it all go away…so I can stop [...]

Recipe Monday: Vegan Cupcake dismal failure
Well, you can’t win ‘em all I guess. I went out on a limb this week to make Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes for everybody’s favorite Trans and Girls bike fixy event at Sopo. Sadly, I did not succeed in this task. I blame an ill-chosen recipe: Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes (see, I need Isa’s book!). It [...]

Yes. No. Maybe.
Here, folks, is how to induce a three-week-long anxiety attack in yours truly. Simply send an e-mail that says, approximately: “I believe your start date would be either July 31st or August 1st. However, we still do not have an official notice of award. We’re not opposed to you arriving in Tucson late (say by August [...]

Bits n’ pieces
I have no coherent, logical thoughts right now, so instead I shall do the random ranty thing… – I have finally discovered how to wake up on time and not be late to work. My miracle cure? Not sleeping! Yes, indeed. It’s amazing how rapidly one hops out of bed when one has gotten three [...]

Cranky Vegan Asshole
So not really, but Zoe, I want that button! Or else one of these, which may suit me more:
In truth, I’m already in love with veganism. And, unfortunately, I think my friends are already a little concerned. Let me restate again for my friends: DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ME. I am not one of those vegans. Wherever we eat [...]

Cheerfully donning the trappings of promiscuity
Like the title? I’m slightly tempted to make it my new headline. I won’t, of course, because once this post has long faded into the past, the headline will remain. And inevitably I’ll forget it’s even there, and there will be no easily-accessible blog explanation for it. And then some guy I’m crushing on will [...]
