Writing’s actually going pretty well. There’s so much to talk about that I’m not quite sure where to start or end. Right now, I’m just trying to pen as many individual scenes are possible and worry about stringing them together later on. I posted my first day of writings here. A week in, here’s what [...]

Alone
One phrase from Sex and the City strikes me. “I’m lonely. The loneliness is palpable.” Carrie said it during her book party, after she found out that Berger has a girlfriend that lives with him. It’s how I feel right now. In an effort to get healthier and participate in NaNoWrimo, I’ve kept myself from [...]

Please Go VOTE! No on Prop 8!
No matter what you think (O), please (B) don’t (A) forget (M) to (A) vote!!
All kidding aside, this really is an important move and probably one of the crucial votes of our lifetimes. Not to be overly dramatic, but this election could literally dictate the continual leadership or the fall of the US [...]

Please Quarantine Your Kids
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 [...]

Worldwide Fat Equality Campaign
[I'm the one on the right, in case it's not completely obvious that Marie isn't anywhere close to the fat-zone.]
.
I’m going to start the official Worldwide Fat Equality Campaign. Being fat is like having lung cancer. People automatically assume that it’s your fault and don’t feel any respect. They’re allowed to pick on you and [...]
