About
"Everything we do is important. Every little thing we do...everything we do in the direction of a different world is important, even though at the moment they seem futile, because that's how change comes about. Change comes about when millions of people do little things, which at certain points in history come together, and then something good and something important happens." --Howard Zinn on The Uses of History and the War on Terrorism
"Most artists are brought to their vocation when their own nascent gifts are awakened by the work of a master. That is to say, most artists are converted to art by art itself. Finding one's voice isn't just an emptying and purifying oneself of the words of others but an adopting and embracing of filiations, communities, and discourses. Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced. Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos. Any artist knows these truths, no matter how deeply he or she submerges that knowing."--Read this article ASAP.
I trip over my own feet a lot.
Just about everything is better with cumin and cayenne.
I really love perforated paper - you know, the kind where you crease it and it tears so nicely...
I [heart] drinking from tiny glasses.
I [doubleheart] vanilla snack packs. Though I could survive on cheese, pickles, and wine alone.
I find it strangely satisfying to watch sillyputty melt into a giant blob of goo.
I like my banana's slightly yellow-green, and most other fruits must be crisp like an apple if you want me to eat 'em (pears, apricots, plums, nectarines, peaches, you name it). I particularly enjoy a nice crisp nectarine.
My friends tell me I'm a total Betty in the kitchen. Wheeee! I LOVE FOOD.

Rachel Maddow Is My Girl Crush
I'd actually consider going almost gay for her. I have to say that since the Inauguration it doesnt quite feel like so much of an effort for me to tune into the news. In fact, Monday morning when I woke I up walked straight over to the computer muttering, "Well let's …

Trust, it's amazing what you get used to. I just finished reading a book about a bunch of guys who lived on ICE FLOES for a year. Besides, you're getting a scoot. That will do so much to make the world seem better. You might not even think about drinking when you're zipping around in that awesome fall weather.
Now, New Year's Eve? Can't do much for ya there. ;-)
