02/10/10--13:33: Cracking the Code (chan 1468569)

If I ever had to defend or rationalize my enthusiasm for dining out, I’d go with one word: research. It’s not simply a fondness for epicurean divinity, it’s step one in my personal DIY universe, wherein I try fabulous food created by professionals, and try to recreate it in my own kitchen. I’ve done this [...]

02/16/10--10:50: Rockcats and Swoons: Valentine’s Day ’10 (chan 1468569)

Valentine’s Day. For some, it’s a day for rose petals, lingerie and heart-shaped chocolates; for others, it’s just another day. For us, it’s a day to sit in darkened rooms and watch a bunch of bizarrely talented cats rock the fuck out! When I awoke upon the morn of our Valentine’s Day, I had no [...]

02/24/10--13:52: The TACOCAT Conspiracy Team Visits Blackbird (chan 1468569)

I consider myself to be a bit of a fair-weather conspiracy theorist. I’m into all sorts of interesting albeit somewhat eccentric and probably marginally believable tales about the dark deals made by agents of killer pharmaceutical companies, bio-terrorist acts of the government, and the anti-feminist cultural undertakings continually propagated by American media outlets (*ahem* MTV) [...]

02/25/10--13:11: Badass Bourdain (chan 1468569)

I just went up to get some espresso despite the fact that I didn’t really need it. I wanted to have the taste linger in my mouth and my foot to twitch in that oh so special way. And perhaps I’m addicted much like Anna is. It’s Thursday and generally the day of the week I [...]

04/21/10--10:29: Yes Yes Yes!!! (chan 1468569)

Too much excitement has kept my fingers from these hallowed keys for too long, but today the verbal drought is over! We’re ENGAGED!!!! As of March 26th around noon p.m. central time, Pete popped the ultimate question which just about knocked me backward down all 70 stairs leading up to our just signed for abode. [...]

04/28/10--21:00: Projecting (chan 1468569)

I weave between a multitude of obsessions these days. Basically my mind is a flickering candle, a slideshow, a rat in a maze, a Downy ball caught in a spin cycle. It’s sorta doing what it’s supposed to- it’s formulating and strategizing and creating, but it’s doing all of that for like 40 projects at [...]

05/05/10--20:35: Waking Life (chan 1468569)

We’ve always written just whatever was on our minds or our hearts. Today I got to wake up in Pete’s arms and I’m not sure if I was dreaming or awake but I remember a lot of flowers, and maybe a few kittens. Okay maybe I was dreaming up a nightmare in an isle of [...]
