I have the a/c on and it is eight twenty-six in the morning. Hot-ish.

When I was twenty-one my uncle and his wife had a baby which erased my status as the only kid in the family and the last in my clan's line. I was upset. And then I thought about it a bit. Given that twenty-one is very grown-up, it seeme

I'm having my Flax Plus cereal with non-fat milk and a cup of coffee and ice water and vitamins for breakfast--right now, as I'm typing this, all multi-tasking like. And in ten minutes (nine, eight, seven) I am getting in the car and dri

I'm such a good faker. I'm doing so great. My hair is really messy but the Fekkai glossing cream seems to be keeping the frizz away. I bought this silly little yellow sweater slash tank top at the Paul Smith sample sale that felt like a priva

Thursdays are excellent for late night dance parties. Oh, the moves.Also excellent for Chateau Montelena cab, Meteor on tap, and heirloom tomato salads. And chickpeas--must have a nearly daily dose of chickpeas.

Will Shortz has gone crazy. Having had such success this week with the crossword puzzle, I turned to today's, moments ago (in my effort to at least be doing something smarty-pants during my Extremely Unmotivated and Bored Procrastination Period).

Five days of summer vacation left. Shall I make a list. Very important to know what is in one's future so one does not stray from the focus. Oh my god, what is my focus. Making a list makes one focus on a focus.Thursday (today)make more coffeefin

If I had your phone number I'd call you right now. There is so much to talk about. Okay, of course I wouldn't. Although I'm sure your voice is silky smooth. And mine is like a twelve year old. How can I be of this age and sound like that.

My tendency to call people (especially men, if truth be told, heh) by their first and last name as one name becomes especially, what, embarrassing, burdensome, ridiculous, trivial when I cannot remember either one of them or remember them in the corr

Last night Kevin made me a drink that looked like a Pepto Bismol slushy but tasted like exactly what it was: Campari, grapefruit, and gin shake, shake, shaken up into a delicious, refreshing cocktail. I like Kevin. He has a fancy new haircut.There is

Thirty years ago I was tromping around Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk trying to scam some free rides with my friend Kayla who was super dramatic and older than me and she lets out this big sigh and moans, "Oh man, I'm so bummed. Elvis

I bought a sickly beautiful tube of Golden acrylic paint today that is aptly named Interference Violet. What is it about the violet that I am suddenly so ga ga (ga ga ga--it's five ga's, right?) about. Three children, married,

Okay I'm very studious and serious this week. I must finish a lingering incomplete before my semester begins in two weeks. And really it's just a big art project, and, what do you know--I like that kind of thing. The palatte is moody and lusc

I just can't get use to the NYTimes no longer being a broadsheet. Too few columns. The layout consequences baffle and excite me at the same time. Making my mind a-swirl. The length of stories, the content and layout of ads, the graphics and photo

The upside to the airline (Delta) losing your luggage is that it makes unpacking so easy. I'm not sure what the upside of the airline (Delta) making you sit on a runway for two hours is. Manic, angry thoughts? Urges? Frantic daydreams? Can you be

What I have to do today is pack. That's all really. A little cleaning, a little fussing here and there, but mostly just pack. Should be easy enough, but ugh, I just keep staring at my messy closet. How can I be a neatnik about so many things and

Asking a married woman how to handle the worries and wondering after your frisky one night stand seems foolish. (Just savor the memory of the night and let it ride--play it cool and enjoy the inappropriately timed flashbacks.)As does a
