I think probably a lot of people go through this at some point in their lives, but the parents with the screaming kids between 0 and 6 are just a pain! I went to the new Academy of Science this past Saturday with boy to see all the awesome exhibits. [Clarification: so I could see [...]

Let’s see if we can squeeze in a super quick post!
In the last 24 hours, I’ve had 3 coffees, 4 shots of espresso and another quad shot coffee… it’s been hectic to put it lightly.
But in the midst of this economic orgie (actually more like gang rape), it’s nice to be busy.

FIRST! In honor of NaNoWriMo, I’m writing my first novel ever. Yes yes, millions [...]

I’m Writing a Novel
For the first year, I’m attempting to write a novel for NaNoWriMo. I always thought about putting down my history on paper. It’s not egotistical… Okay maybe just a bit. More than that, I’m interested in my past and the lifestyles of generations before me.
I never really knew what my grandparents went through. They don’t [...]

Enough About Politics
[Sorry, this post isn't about "food politics"; it's more about "food" and "politics."]
.
During dinner with a couple friend last night, my girl friend said, “I’m really surprised we didn’t talk about politics tonight. I always thought you were really knowledgeable about it.” (or something like that…)
A few reactions instantaneously popped into my head:
Oh, that’s so [...]

A Little Zen Moment
Zen Moments is a site full of fun anecdotes and stories, similar to Chicken Soup for the Soul, which I will admit ,is a guilty pleasure. I liked reading through the stories of human decency, kindness and connections. It’s corny, I know. For the most part, I keep Zen Moments tucked away at the bottom [...]

Politics & The History of Marketing
PART I
My last post on the vice presidential debate highlighted the great marketing campaign of the GOP. I say marketing because many of you pointed out via emails and ims that Sarah Palin, and to some extend John McCain, focuses on broad sweeping statements about some utopian United States without much in the way of [...]

Well, Gosh Darn It, Dontcha Know.
Oh, gosh. How to start.
1. I think I’m starting to talk like her [Sarah Palin], which is freaking me out and forever destroying my warm fuzzy feelings of Bobby’s World with Howie Mandell.
2. The Vice Presidential Debate at Washington Univesity in St. Louis gave the voters are great sense of both democratic and republic platforms. [...]

Cleaning Out My Intestines: Day 3
It’s actually going pretty well. Minus the constant hunger and urge to run to the bathroom every 30 minutes, things are going fine. Yup, pretty dandy. I’m just going to keep saying it until I believe it.
What I want RIGHT now:

I’m really excited about the Vice Presidential Debate tonight. For some [...]

Pick Up, Chew, Swallow
It’s a sequences of actions that I sorely miss. I’ve done Ramadan before and have had to fast from sun up to sun down without food or water (even Chapstick is iffy). But it’s a whole different ballpark when you’re not eating solid food for 9 days (I’m starting with my trainer on the 10th [...]
