so i didn’t win… that’s okay immediately upon finding out, i sank into a seeth of self-loathing and despair – self esteem plummets through the ground! as my friend j.k. opined about a similar (who am i kidding, the same) topic, “ego tremmors [sic] 4-5 richter scale.” it is always funny how suddenly i can lose my sense of worth, but then again how suddenly i can regain it. after...

Well. I don’t remember if I mentioned this before, but I’m giving myself an easy time on the vegan thing. To wit, I allow myself one mess-up per day. More and more, I’ve been finding myself actually USING that loophole… When I first began eatin’ vegan again, maybe a month and a half ago, it was smooth sailing for me. I put down dairy and eggs one day and never looked...

God, I love the awkard mix tapes I make people who I have crushes on. The music is always selected with such care and appreciation! Awkward mix CDs for people who I only love in the totally besties sort of way are also pretty awesome. I guess I just try harder for people I care about. Which, like, TOTALLY MAKES SENSE but still amuses me every single time. Right now I’m listening to a mix CD...

I’ve always been a Raymond runner, where what I’m really saying is that I’m not exactly a frequent flyer, if you know what I mean. In fact, I go yogging an average of twice per year. Each time I run, it’s a complex and celebrated affair baptized with champagne and culminating in a ten-hour movie marathon (theme: veggin’ out). The very mention of jogging has been known...

Since I’m on the topic of resolutions, I thought I’d post my manifesto, a two-page list of annual intentions currently taped above my bed for easy access. 1. stretch and grow artistically. fill my life with color; in the past, i’ve stuck largely to monotone templates in drawing – it’s time to move into rainbow. pick up new techniques and skills: oil-painting, stenciling, cut-outs,...

(Yay MS Paint! My love, my life.) This week’s - month’s, even - resolutions include: * turn in all work before due date. Well, this one got off to a bad start (see: the Chinese essay that I still haven’t turned in, almost a full week after the deadline), but I’ve been sailin’ easy in everything else, so I don’t feel too badly about this particular resolution....

So in two weeks, if all goes according to plan, I’ll be having myself a lil’ ol’ vegan picnic. I’ve invited all and sundry, which means that I only have to cook for the ten people who MAYBE might turn up. We’re sure to be left with lots of extra food, which is totally cool! Recently I’ve been spending my days tracking down recipes, ingredients, and potential cooking locations, and we seem to be...
