Love Is a Mix Tape

I got 50 pages in and bailed. I liked some things about it, but two thirds of the pop culture references are lost on me, and the speaker’s lively, but it reads like a cliche. It reminds me of a zine but a zine I’ve already read a few times. Sorry. eta: It kind of… Read More »

Old Joy

This evening we watched a movie called Old Joy. It’s a very beautiful film. Two guys go camping together. Thanks to our new friend A for loaning this movie to us. Also, we made broccoli bulgar soup. It tastes kind of good, kind of boring. We made it and it was way too thin, so… Read More »

mini

This morning I called the clinic to make an appointment, and I was super lucky because they had an afternoon appointment available. So I went in and got my prescriptions and all’s well. Tonight was writers group. We met at Temple Coffee. We were all not in the best of moods. But I like being… Read More »

happy fall

Today we saw Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods both have their pumpkins out. Today we checked out Fun Home from the library for Erik to read. It was possibly my favorite book that I read last year. I read a stat that juice drinkers are 76% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s. I always thought juice… Read More »

Kathmandu Kitchen

Today I was feeling sad. We went to our favorite park then to Davis where we ate at my favorite Nepalese place. Then we went to the Davis co-op and looked at cards. We walked down the ice cream isle and I noticed they have It’s-Its. I almost bought a mint one, I so longed… Read More »

C died

My friend C died on Sunday night. I hadn’t seen her in a while–she was living in a nursing home. I should have visited her when she was in a hospital a few weeks ago. But I didn’t want to bother her. I can’t believe I’ll never see her again. She had cancer. I want… Read More »
