painted face

One would think that I would be more of a makeup-wearing girl, what with my long “struggle” with spots and so on. My mom wears makeup daily, in fact almost every girl I know does.

“Chicken korma and an order of rice please.” “No nan? No samosas?” “No thanks.” “You have pretty hair.” “Thanks.” (as he writes on order slip) “What’s your name?” “Jane.” “Very nice name.” “Thanks…” “What’s your number?” “What?” “Your number.” “My… phone number?

I must confess, I am a total accessories ho. It’s a problem. I need help. Not really. Anyway, I just love bags and shoes. Sometimes hats. However, due to not being rich and not being too impulsive, I don’t have like fifty pairs of shoes or three dozen bags. But if I was rich? Watch […]

running at night

I went to the gym tonight, about an hour after dinner. It was cold and windy out as I jogged the three long city blocks there. I am liking this whole going to the gym at night thing. My old gym was across the street from my office, and believe it or not that really […]

extended family

Today my aunt in Miami wrote to me to let me know she will be coming to town in June and we should get together. I think I might have been 13 or so the last time I saw her, so I have changed quite a lot. My family is sparse and spread all over […]

Bob Roberts for President

Here is a speech Tim Robbins gave yesterday at the National Press Club. It will probably get very little media coverage, unfortunately. I think one of the best points he makes is how the press his been effectively castrated because of corporate ties to the administration, and journalists have pretty much been turned into publicists […]

I get to go to a Giants game tonight! Thank you, Brian. You are the jickiest. I am already excited about the nice mustardy hot dog I am going to eat for dinner. Last night I had this long, complicated dream about traveling alone in Ireland. I had a map of where I was supposed […]
