working on good habits
so, my first couch surfing experience was out of control positive - Rob from San Fran, super sweet vegan fixie bike rider - made my teeth ache laughing at his one liners. We went to the psychedelicatessen show at Overtoom 301 on Friday, after breaking back into my room with an Albert Heijn card with the assistance of my international team of ( Read more... ) -
tapping into it
just finished reading Franny and Zooey, thinking about Jesus and smart babies - and am now eyeballing a stack of articles and thinking about writing my last paper. Impossible, really. I need a muse with long fingernails to poke me, aggressively, in the back of the neck until I am brave enough to print. bleeerrraaach. basically. I am stir crazy ( Read more... ) -
vitality, vitamins, vermin
and so so so summer, yes? no? not quite? It just started pouring and I am glad to have escaped this summer storm, though standing in the peels of rain under the lightening storm on Friday, feeling clean with my cotton skirts taking in liters of water and sticking to my skin felt so good, I would prefer to stay dry tonight.

Not cutting this. deal.
Hello dearest of dears,
It has been just over a month since I last updated you all on my
adventures, and there is much to recount. I actually did write a super
long email about my trip to Switzerland two weeks ago but my email account

a little glow
The Dutch sea is a mud puddle but the sun felt so good on my chalky skin. The beach was filled with families, it was so nice to watch kids bury each other and splash their moms. These herring stands get pulled down the sand by huge red tractors selling frites, fish and sodas. I'm feeling a little less ghosty and I miss Mexico. January was the ( Read more... ) -

so, as it turns out, ruts, funks and slumps are international phenomenas. I suppose it's always more about what's in your head than where it is physically. I forced myself out into the wild today, riding to the far end of Westerpark, found some ponies and baby ducks and called it a success. Yesterday, we had an easter feast in the sun, and in ( Read more... )
