Sometimes I wish you could see my pain. Not in a dramatic Victorian-novel way. I am not fainting on a chaise lounge with a lace handkerchief. No violins are playing. Just see it. But you can’t. Because apparently I am a Barbie doll. Not the original one from […]
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? Lately, I’ve been watching architectural shows the way some people watch cooking competitions. Wide-eyed. Slightly dramatic. Fully aware that I do not, in fact, have Michelin-star money or, in my case, Oshatz or Aires […]
Every once in a while, I find myself in conversation with someone, whether a colleague, an old friend, a friend of a friend, and they say something like: “Oh yeah, I read that in your blog.” Cue record scratch.Wait… You read my blog? It never fails to amuse […]

What book are you reading right now? Here we go. After a scandalously long hiatus from the written word, I’ve finally graced my bookshelf with two new books– a delightful duality of pop culture and intellectual musings, ready to be devoured over the Thanksgiving dinner table. Well, actually, […]
