Picture blog

I am still a little uninspired these days. But, alas, Zoe keeps begging for more blogs, so here you have one. However, since I’m nearly out of adjectives, let’s enjoy a few pictures, shall we? This, kiddies, is the result of leisurely one-mile stroll to campus at five o’clock in the evening… Sexy, right? Yeah, [...]

Gimme gimme

I officially have stress-related insomnia. I am also, save for a very entertaining phone call from my life coach Zoe a few hours ago, on the verge of being pathetically, ridiculously lonely. Which, really, is quite silly considering that I’ve been around very nice people all day long. Only thing is, none of those very nice [...]

Holy hell, my brother joined the Army

He just called to tell me that he’d forgotten to tell me sooner. And if he wound up in San Diego for training, was it close enough to drive from Tucson? And he sounded chipper. And he’s very excited about the opportunity! And dear sweet Jesus, what has the American government done to my [...]

Vegan Recipe Monday: Greek Scrambled Tofu

Well, folks, I been a’cookin up a vegan storm out here in the desert. It’s been a long dry summer on the Recipe Monday front, so I though I’d give it another go with my vast array of vegan cooking successes (and, okay, occasional failures). I’m steadily working my way through my very first vegan cookbook [...]

How much can you tell about a man by his sock?

Apparently I’m in a mood to talk about underthings. For check out this little treasure:   This little surprise was a stow-away in a pile of my clean, clean, Febreze-smelling CLEAN! clothes washed at the Laundromat across the street. Until tonight, I had forgotten how much I loved Laundromats. I hadn’t been in one since I was [...]

When frugality bites you on your big cotton-covered ass

Now that I’m a student again, I’m trying to keep my budget in the forefront of my mind. Alas, I realized this week that it was about time to stock up on cotton undies. The last set, they bore me. The new climate, it begs for cotton. But instead of my regular Vickie’s Secret [...]

Hare Hare Kr…wait, what?

In related news, this restaurant is undoubtedly my favorite so far… Govinda’s711 E Blacklidge DrTucson, AZ 85719520.792.0630 If I go back there, I swear they may make me convert. Last night was apparently Hare Krishna Christmas. There were saris and face-painting and fire-dancing, oh my! I missed most of it, of course, since I was sitting [...]

Good news, bad news

Well, hello kittens. Sorry for the lapse in communiqué. Apparently I blog best under pressure. Who knew?
In any case, consider this your long-overdue hi-lo-hi update.
Good: I’m in Tucson!
Bad: It’s hot!
Good: It’s not Atlanta!
Good: I really did get my GRA!
Bad: Instead of starting August 7, which is why I busted my ass to get [...]

Somewhere on this planet

There exists a cardboard box. Contained in it are a retro toaster, some hand-me-down drinking glasses, and a cheap plastic silverware holder.  The universe has see fit to take said box from me. I do not know into whose hands it has been swept or where it now rests, but I do know this for sure: it is not [...]

My riveting first week

Like I may have mentioned, not a whole helluva lot has been going around here. I don’t start work until Monday, so I’ve spent most of the last week tooling around my studio, cooking, driving around Tucson, and watching movies.
I know you all think I’ll be living this exciting adventure of a life out [...]
