A Funny Anecdote

So I have a bit of a funny story to tell. This story requires a bit of background information on both my father (pictured above), and a boy on whom I had a crush when I was in 6th and 7th grades. My father is one of those fortunate souls blessed with the ability to [...]

Where Have All The Young Men Gone?

Once more, I have failed to keep up with blogging. In this instance, I can pin the blame squarely on my younger brother as I flew back home to California for the weekend to attend his 8th grade graduation. On a note completely unrelated to books or publishing, I don’t know what they put into [...]

Me Encanta a Mexico

I have returned from Cancún with some color in my skin and a love of Mexico. I had never been before, which is sad for a southern California native. I mean, driving to Tijuana is practically a rite of passage! The water in the Caribbean is unreal. Surely a turquoise that beautiful cannot exist in [...]

Voy a Mexico!

I will be spending an extended Easter break with my family in Cancun this year, so expect internet/blog silence from me for the next few days. I will be back in fine blogging form on Wednesday! Arriba!

This Is Just To Say

New post at Running Roommates! Things I Learned This Past Weekend Running on ice works all the small muscle groups in your legs. Running on ice when you have one flat foot also causes blisters. You should always live with a tall roommate so she can do things like change your lightbulbs for you. I’ve [...]

Aloha and Mahalo!

Greetings from the Westin Ka’anapali in Lahaina, Maui! My body is absolutely confused as to what time it is. My family and I flew into Kahului Airport last night around 4:30pm Hawai’i time, which meant it was 7:30pm in Los Angeles, and 10:30pm in New York. Coordinating daily phone calls with Bear was a bit [...]

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

I wish everyone joy in this holiday season! Christmas is the holiday my family is inclined to celebrate, but whichever festival/holiday/celebration you observe, I wish you glad tidings! Life in Los Angeles with my family has been low-key and sunny and wonderful with the exception of Christmas morning, which is turning out to be grey, [...]

I Forgot My Mittens

I awoke this morning to find the world leached of all colour and blanketed in white. I absolutely love the snow (even if I hate winter). It may be a white Christmas in the city for the first time in years (I’m being optimistic here) and I’m glad I got to see it before I [...]

A Longwinded Contemplation of My Inner Marianne Dashwood

I had thought that The Golden Compass DVD would be released today but it appears as though my anticipation has run away from me because it isn’t released until next week. I had hoped that the DVD would come with the deleted scenes, which include the sky bridge to Cittàgazze and the confrontation between Lord [...]

A Portrait of the Girl According to Myers & Briggs

Stolen from Karros I find this rather interesting as I am fairly balanced between the Thinking and Feeling functions, although this test seems to indicate that I am an INTJ rather than an INFJ (it appears to be a difference of one question). Out of curiosity, I went and looked up the personality traits of [...]
