Kristin and I have had this running joke for a while that we wanted to make sweatshirts like the Beyoncé "Kale" ones, only they would say "Part Time Vegan." And then we decided to actually make them, and we made some totes too, and now it's maybe kind of a thing?
Greetings on the street
I was walking down one of my favorite leafy streets in my neighborhood this morning, on my way to the subway, and I saw, about 30 paces in front of me, a man in a suit warmly greet and embrace a boy of about 15 or 16. The boy looked awkwardly friendly in the sort …
Advice From My Dear Readers…
Just a quick post to ask for some advice/suggestions/recommendations from whoever's out there... I'm in Bombay at the moment (Mumbai, if you'd rather be official, but everyone here calls in Bombay), and soon enough will be on my own, at which point I have approximately 10 days to do whatever I want, within the realms …
The Single Woman’s Guide to Bali
Okay, this post deserves a lot more time than I have to give it, so let's do this quickly: Since I last wrote, I have left Ubud - after a wonderful week of amazing food (you wouldn't believe the great organic, fresh food you can get there, both local and foreign in concept), daily yoga, …
Looking Up… to the Russians
Welcome! Again? Yeah, you thought I was gone, disappeared back into the black hole that is the American university system. But, inasmuch as I'm soon to escape it permanently, I need to find something else to do with myself, right? And so, here we go again, only this time, you get to hear (or, read?) …
World Citizen
A huge Greece post is in the works, but I feel I wouldn't be doing life justice if I let that stop me from posting about Paris before I leave in a few days. It's raining in Paris. No surprise there. But it is nearly June, and you'd think that it's March, based on the …
Two months: Country-hopping, adulthood, and new friends
So, I have tried over the last several months to put together posts, so I shall include everything I've written here. It's mostly unfinished stuff, as you'll see, so I'll try to, at the end, wrap up all this stuff. Then, I'll do another post with stuff about Greece, and since I've returned... * So, …

A Series of Ecclectic Experiences
It would be lying to say I haven't been doing anything these days, because clearly I've been busy enough to not update, but the thing is that the days all seem to run together after a while. You do one big thing a day, usually, and that's about it, but it somehow feels like a …
Penniless in Paris
So maybe I exaggerate, but in a few months, I won't be very far off. As usual, when one has nothing much to do, life is not that interesting these days. In an effort to take advantage of our location, and to get out of the city, last Friday, Selene and I took off for …
Janvier
The impressive thing about January is that I don't have classes. Which means, lots of free time. This of course doesn't include babysitting and teaching and the one class I do actually have, but still, lots of free time. Which means, doing lots of things. First, though, I forgot to cover a few things last …
