Exuberation

I feel–exuberation. For the first time in weeks! Exuberation. And I can’t help but give my trip to New York great credit for this renewed energy. It has been too long since I have visited the city where I was born, where I feel so in sync with the world and [...]

hindsight!

There were quite a few things I didn’t have the energy or the time to get around to doing while in New York City (yes, I’m back home already). The MoMa, for one…it’s a regular stop of mine when I’m in town. And BEA–totally slipped my mind!
Still, I’m very happy and [...]

Making it to NYC

I have made it to New York! Thoroughly exhausted but entirely satisfied by a visit to my hometown. Yesterday, with just a few hours sleep under my belt, we:

had lunch at Blue Ribbon Sushi
walked the streets of SoHo
went to Queens to find the apartment where I lived from birth to [...]

touching and funny all at once

Check out this post on Rice Daddies. I won’t give anything away–but hopefully, you’ve been reading the news and will put two and two together somewhere during the reading of the post.
It starts out hilarious, just hilarious for its own sake (I, being Korean American, found it especially funny for the way it reverberates [...]

the gift of touch

I have been mulling over the sense of touch for a couple of weeks now–trying to figure out a short story character of mine, someone who has not had human touch in weeks. I’ve been thinking about this essential need for human connection, and the essential human need for physical touch, in great silence. [...]

plagues

Today I had a headache all day–I took a total of 8 Tylenol and spent most of the day napping. Yesterday, I woke up with a headache, too (I took 4 Tylenol and wished it away). The headache went away sometime in the afternoon.
These were not the little nagging headaches, that I often [...]

a 30 year old diary

Richard Grayson says he’s written in his diary everyday since the summer of 1969–and it makes me further embrace my commitment to my personal journal, the literal written word.
He has posted on Champion’s blog, excerpts from his diary while at Breadloaf 30 years ago. While he is afraid the excerpts might be a terrible [...]

it’s open!

C.C. Myers is a marvel–he and his crew have opened up the 580 connector to the 24 off of the Bay Bridge in less than a month.
I know.
Because I drove over it just a little while ago–coincidentally ten minutes after the connector opened up.
I can’t believe that less than a month ago, a [...]

which tarot card are you?

You are The High Priestess
Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.
The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you [...]
