Doing whatever it is I do

Friday, October 10th, 2008When did it get so cold out? I was just hitting my stride tan- and A/C usage-wise when suddenly, it was fall. Alas. Though I prefer summer, at least the change in season means I can have pumpkin pie (best pie ever) and take my fierce boots out of storage.
It also means [...]
I am what I… am served in targeted interwebs ad placements?
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Working at a digital advertising agency makes me hyperaware of the targeted content I am served on the interwebs. Usually, and to my chagrin, the Face likes to serve me ads like “25 and sick of your love handles?” with truly unappealing visuals in its seemingly innocuous right sidebar placement. But yesterday, after [...]
First blog birthday!
Friday, September 5th, 2008For its birthday, I’m giving it… voilà! A second sidebar and thus, a little more room to grow.
Strictly speaking I started blogging in January of last year, but it wasn’t until early September that I wrote what I consider to be its first post as an art and design blog (making it a [...]
I am an unstoppable genius.
Monday, August 18th, 2008On Friday evening I was rushing around after work, getting ready to go out for Christine’s birthday dinner. I rummaged in my closet for whatever wrapping paper I had lying about, packaged up her gift, and threw in the Egg Press card (available here, by the way) that I had picked up a few [...]
…And I’m back!
Friday, July 25th, 2008Back to regularly scheduled blogging next week, but for now, a few of my favorite shots from my trip…
Clockwise from top left: the prettily weathered view out my window on rue Casimir Delavigne; the menu at the tiny and wonderful Le Sèvero (meat meat meat meat) in Montparnasse; peeking out from the underbelly of the [...]
À bientôt!
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008I’m flying out to Europe tonight to hit up Paris and London, so I will be on a little hiatus until I return next Wednesday - hopefully with a memory card full of fantastic pictures and a stomach full of fromage. Until then!

Drool drool drool.
Monday, June 2nd, 2008I keep eyeing this hefty tome at my local bookshop, and over time I’ve gone from simply admiring it to fully-blown coveting it. 1080 Recipes, by mother-daughter team Simone and Inés Ortega, has been Spain’s best-selling cookbook for the past 30 years. This bible of Spanish cookery is impressively comprehensive - sauces, stews, [...]
Eat and learn.
Friday, May 16th, 2008Earlier this week I found these a-ma-zing linen napkins at Anthropologie in the Back Bay from interior designer Sheila Bridges, and picked up ones for Italy, Spain, South Africa, and India. (Here they are, spread out on my spacious new desk(!).) I love that they are a bit rustic, what with the rough [...]
Just for funsies.
Monday, May 12th, 2008Some pretty springtime shots from this weekend - going down Clarendon Street before the Artwalk (scenes like this are what make the winter almost worth it)…
…and in Brookline later, a fat sun-dappled bunch of hydrangea and heather that I put together - for mom, of course.
Artwalk 2008.
Monday, May 12th, 2008Yesterday was a fine day for an open studios visit, and the Fort Point Artwalk definitely delivered. Here are a few shots from my wanderings around this art-loving neighborhood in Southie (which, as I discovered on Saturday evening on my way to see the Death Cab show, also serves a fantastic lamb burger*).
Checking out [...]
Look at this beauteous beauty.
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008An aside on my other favorite topic: food. Merril and I created this massive and life-changing sandwich recently, and we call him… The Best Friend. Think thick slices of whole wheat bread, caramelized raisins, bubbling hot cheddar cheese, honey roasted turkey, apple butter, and tart slices of granny smith apple. Visit her [...]
A little hiatus…
Friday, March 28th, 2008…while this thoroughly northeastern girl makes her way to Austin for a few days for barbecue and 80 degree weather (I know - try to contain your envy). But not to worry - I will be back and blogging next week!
