Sad fact: I really didn’t take as many pictures on my trip I thought I would. Half because I forgot I even had my camera with me, half because I was non-New Yorker in every group I was with and I didn’t want to be the token tourist. Plus they all walk so damn fast, [...]

Thank you all for the kind comments. I’m still getting used to wordpress.org instead of wordpress.com (for instance, I’m not getting e-mails when I get new comments, though I have that option on), but I’m pretty happy with it. I’m leaving tomorrow for an extended weekend in New York to visit my friend from high [...]

Hola and welcome to the new blog. Mucho gracias to Andy Quayle for all of his help for the most non-tech savy girl on the planet (If you need a blog hosted, only $10!). I’m still figuring out how I want this to look- I don’t think this dark background will stay long- but now [...]

What I’m about to blog about may cause me to lose readers, dignity and respect. I’ve pretty lost the other two years ago but please dear readers, don’t leave me! At least hear me out. I saw Julie & Julia, which yes, haters, I greatly enjoyed. Meryl was amazing, should have been just a whole [...]
