For a number of reasons…number one being that the chick who normally does this shit was suspiciously not around, and number two being that out of all the remaining available people to take on this fun little project, I was the only one with any sort of practical knowledge of the immigration world, having formerly […]
It is not often that I am motivated to cook in my tiny, Hobbit-sized kitchen, with its overly-sensitive smoke alarm that goes off when we boil WATER (so God knows how it would react to say, a frying pan). But today’s combination of prohibitively freezing cold weather and general weariness - incurred from having spent […]
Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It has been twelve years, six months, three weeks and two days since my last confession (more or less - probably more).
I have been…unfaithful. To my beloved blog.
There is another blog. Its name is UltraSketch. I am ashamed to admit I have been writing sweet nothings on its […]
I am often struck by how relatively lucky I have been in the way of non-obnoxious coworkers at my current job…considering the stupidity of the actual JOB, it’s fortunate that at least there are interesting and amusing people around here with which to commiserate. Due to the nature of the business (fashion design) the majority […]

She comes here every day and orders the same thing, but […]
After a long and occasionally infuriating absence, I am back, having survived the great Blogger Fuck-Up of 2006 - an experience which now has me (perhaps in vain, but nevertheless) searching for alternatives to this yes-it’s-free-but-Christ-come-on-this-is-ridiculous excuse for weblog software. This three-day-long outage coincided neatly with my sudden, impulsive desire for a redesign, and thus […]
You know how there are certain moments in certain days when, for a few (blessedly brief) moments, you are utterly convinced that you’ve gone insane?…
So I got home at 8:15 today, after having taken Benny Simon’s class, in which we did lots of jumping double turns and torso-twisting maneuvers that generally made my back feel […]
At the suggestion of someone whose artistic recommmendations I normally follow, I redirected the energy I ordinarily would have spent suffering through last night’s State Of The Union address, and devoted it instead to watching a 35-minute-long short film called Bugcrush, which evidently won some sort of award at the recent Sundance Film Festival. Despite […]
