Misbehaving Tuesday: Orange Pants Edition
The first Misbehaving Tuesday of 2010 has been a great success. Highlights:
1. I overslept, blissfully.
2. Orange pants!
3. As I was walking up an aisle in Whole Foods, a woman walking toward me with her cart stopped abruptly and stared at me. “Your hair is beautiful,” she said. “It’s a beautiful style. Perfect for your face.” [...]

Now Now Now
Here is how my day started: intense pain on one side of my head from sleeping with my ear bent into my face, and general ick from a dream that a shot glass came out of my nose (it was encased in lovely crystal, though).
Still, the day was productive. I taught a class, picked up [...]
Misbehaving Tuesday: Argyle Edition
My clothes don’t match today. As I was getting dressed – pink toenails, purple open-toe flats, black and gray argyle footless tights, olive drab miniskirt, purple shirt, black sweater, denim jacket – it occurred to me that I would have loved this outfit when I was sixteen, and I would have worn it all the [...]

A Really Good Day
Yesterday was a great day, and especially notable because I managed to hit my entire tagline.
Frolic and Food
Before heading to a chili cookoff at the Waffle Lady’s house, I baked a batch of my most-requested chocolate chip cookies while blasting MTX. (Scott made the chili Friday night.) I’ve been on a big MTX kick for [...]
Harry, Hairy, Hurry, Harpy.
1. A few last thoughts on Harry Potter: A) I am delighted by J.K. Rowling’s love of language, which comes through in the names of the characters. I think my favorite is Draco – Latin root for serpent. B) I don’t think the whole epic was intended as an allegory for WWII, and I know [...]
Off the top of my head.
Last week I was having ideas about growing my hair back out over the fall and winter. Then I vacuumed the floors, and I’m pretty sure that we’re over our hair quota in this house. How can two short haired people and four tiny short haired animals generate multiple, massive hair tumbleweeds in, like, three [...]
IDs, of sorts.
1. I am determined to spend the remainder of my time as a thirty-four year old wearing things that will officially become inappropriate and tacky the second I turn thirty-five. I think nine months of miniskirts and short-shorts is as admirable a goal as any.
2. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there’s Bodhidharma. I [...]
Aging
I have been fixated on this idea today:
One of the benefits of aging, or maybe just of doing a lot of yoga, is the lack of panic as I move through life. Something about a conversation I had at a Memorial Day gathering yesterday – there was a comment about how much life one must [...]

Same Planet, Different Worlds
Amid the craziness of the past week, there were two concerts.
I. Unwigged and Unplugged: Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean at the Lyric
Cost
$11 for parking (We had free tickets.)
Crowd
Nerdy. A smattering of hipsters, but mostly nerds of all ages. I saw a guy un-ironically wearing a Transformers sweatshirt. It was nice to be among [...]
