kids these days...
I’m at a cafe on Market Street after lunch with a friend who works in a downtown office. I’m rarely in this neighborhood. A very pretty boy just asked me about the tattoo on my back, so, we chatted a bit about tattoos. Then I went back to work. Apparently I didn’t realize he was flirting? (Honestly, I read him as gay — and like, “gay as in monosexually gay, not...

probably really basic tumblr question
So, tumblr is telling me that my last post about Take Me There has apparently been liked &/or re-blogged 517 times (um, whut?!!). But I’m only seeing about dozen notes on my dashboard. Could tumblr be calculating wrong? In any event, I’m interested in seeing who is following me & who re-blogged the post.

But I’ve made some good food as of late. Tonight’s dinner: - 1 bunch of broccoli rabe, 1 giant mango, 4 avocadoes, 3 scallions, the juice of 1 lime, 1 giant ear of corn, & a few tablespoons of garlic olive oil, all mixed up in a bowl. - Eat with corn chips & a few slices of cotija. Now I have enough delicious salad for the rest of the week. YESSSSS. Also happening this week in...

electric
Sometimes you have awful writer’s block for a week, and then you pound out 1400 (good) new words in a single evening, and feel like you have even more right at your fingertips. I call this feeling electric.

i love it when life turns out that way.
In April 2009, after I’d gotten into the State MFA program but before I’d started school, Toni sat me down & spun this excellent story about my Theoretical Grad Student Life: I’d be up at 3am in a gorgeous little apartment, blasting Laurie Anderson, writing a paper. There was a cat involved, & mention of how it’d be awesome if I lived near Lucca Grocery. Now...

* Backseam tattoos up my legs (like for Cuban heel stockings, you know?). Overdone? A good idea? * St. Julian of Norwich’s prayer. Not sure where yet & not sure in what font. * Bleeding heart fuchsias framing my collarbone & cleavage. In other news: * If living off purple cabbage/avocado/corn/yellow tomato salad in garlic olive oil w/ beans & cotija & tortillas is wrong, I...

I’m home from my Wednesday class really early. Usually it’s supposed to get out at 11pm, but we got out at 7 tonight. So I went grocery shopping, and now I am making a giant corn & cabbage & red onion & avocado & tomato salad, with refried black beans w/ garlic, and cotija & crema, & tortillas. And watching Sifl & Olly clips on youtube. AWWWZ YEAH.

"too much information"
I am working on a short piece that’s due to be posted in an internet forum to my classmates in precisely 15 minutes. None of them are people I know, really. The piece is about being a domestic violence survivor. It’s autobiographical, but my classmates won’t necessarily know that. But that is not what I wanted to focus on in this post, actually. What I am wanting to note is that...
