I know — someone is making a killing off of earrings made of simple hoops and pebbles. But I love, love, LOVE them, and here they are:
You can find them on Pearl and Iowa at Five Green Boxes. I saw them yesterday, and resisted. But today I just couldn’t. I bought them when I was [...]
There is no ponytail! But I can’t get over how weird it feels to run my fingers through my hair, and have there be so, so little of it. The weirdest is in the shower. I probably cut at least two thirds of my hair off, and I’m having trouble adjusting to how little product [...]
Denver is making some pretty lofty requests for the Democratic National Convention in an effort to make it “the greenest convention in the history of the planet” (Mayor Hickenlooper’s words). From the Wall Street Journal article, it sounds like it’s not a particularly easy thing to do, and some of the products being used contradict [...]
1.) It is a shitty, shitty week.
2.) One of the shittiest I’ve had in a long time. But not on all counts. I’ve been eating well, cooking for myself, and haven’t had a single morning coffee since Sunday. I’m rediscovering my love of smoothies. This one was too viscous (I was [...]
Basia Bulat: Listen to “I Was a Daughter” here (bad (non-existent) video, but it’s the non-muffly album recording). Best line: “gave away our hearts before we knew what they were.”
Which, I think, is the only way we can give away our hearts. Otherwise, it is just not possible. It’s the tragedy [...]
I think I’ll be a happier, healthier, wealthier person if I can manage to kick my morning Americano habit. $2.38/day * 7 (yeah, 7) days a week * 52 weeks a year = $866.32. Not including the change I reserve for tips. That’s too much. I’m embarrassed by it, and I’m not quite sure how [...]
They’re all over, and in full, nasty bloom right now… Ugh. Stinky trees! They kind of smell a little perfume-y, but mostly bodily. Gross. Anyone know what they are?
Etc.: I finished Anna Karenina. At last. I questioned the time I was devoting to it briefly, and then it got seriously good. The way Tolstoy depicts [...]
Rereading that last post, I realize I focused a lot on the “no mores,” and didn’t even mention the things I’ve discovered because I went gluten- and dairy-free! These have been the best part! I already knew a lot about fresh fruit, but I’d never had figs. Figs are good. So [...]
Hooray! It was two years ago this week that I made the life-altering decision to give up gluten and dairy (and most refined sugar). I’d had some weird rashes and went to see a naturopath. She had me keep a food diary for a week before our appointment, and asked me about [...]
It’s an action-packed weekend, this one. Last night we went to the Museum of Contemporary Art — there was an opening, as it happened, but we skipped the DJ, etc., and just went for the art. I went a few weeks ago, too, and was again struck by Jasper de Beijer’s creative work — he [...]
