The blog I was going to write today –- well, actually I did write it; I just decided not to publish it –– was, quite frankly, entirely reactionary. It’s not worth going into the details but basically while watching Saturday Night Live, I stumbled on something bizarre about myself on the interwebs, somethin...

Woke up at 4 a.m. –– a surprisingly good night of sleep considering that I dropped Belle off last night with Kate, her pre-guardian before Daniel and Lana (FYI, Kate is spectacular and her parents even raise labs as guide dogs so she is more than well qualified for a night of Belle-sitting) –– all to catch...

Second to the last night in the cottage. 2 more days on my regime before I leave for Cancun. Surprising last minute orders of DVDs I have to ready for Hong Kong and Seattle. Awesome interview w/major magazine today that will appear in tandem with book release –– must solve all download problems for bonus g...

So tonight I broke my 21 day juice fast with a cucumber. And I felt guilty. Guilty of eating. Of course it was necessary since it would be quite impractical to have continued while in Mexico, lugging a juicer and Vitamix into a different country. And it may also be unnecessary in general in that I’m ...

More like SMASHED! (sigh …) So I awoke yesterday to find that some crazy person had banged into my car between 12:30 am and 6:30 am in its parking spot. No note (of course). I did have the hope that this was one of those dents they could take a plunger (or whatever that tool is) and get out easily, b...

Yesterday it became quite clear that my hair just wasn’t quite working. This realization was all thanks to the bizarro overhead security cameras at J. Crew and H&M as I went with Belle to buy a few vital things I still needed for Mexico. [Basically, I felt I looked best in Bikram after the “...

I realized I need a hat for Cancun –– I think my little ski cap/beanies aren’t going to work in Mexico –– but fortunately we live near a FANTASTIC Hat Store called Goorin Brothers (established 1895 and now run by super-nice hipsters). I do love the fedora I bought –̵...

I find this picture –– part of a series of 33 Most Beautiful Abandoned Places –– quite haunting. It’s even more compelling that it has since sunk into the ocean. Yesterday I saw a terrific possible sublet situation (although a little too expensive) and awoke to find an email saying that the owners ha...

So I’m going to graduate school (sorta). I’ve decided to opt-in to the HootSuite University (free for my trial period and then $30 a month afterward) because well, there’s just no fighting this social media thing. I feel both early and late to the party –– and I keep fantasizing about an ...
