The birds and the bears?
“Tell me what you saw in London.” “Very little.” (A more naïve girl would have said, “Oh, everything!” But Rosamond knew better.) “A  few of the ordinary sights, such as raw country girls are always taken to.” “Do you call yourself a raw country girl?” said Lydgate, looking at her with an involuntary emphasis of admiration, which made Rosamond blush with pleasure. But she remained...

"I'm your audience."
We watched The Lives of Others last weekend. Best movie I’ve seen in a very, very long time. Maybe I’ll have to delve deeper into Yerman cinematic culture.

Jan 2010 Food Fest, Part 3
On Saturday Jay and I enjoyed our usual delicious breakfast with greens and a side of M*A*S*H. Then, when we found ourselves hungry again shortly thereafter, we wandered over to Crown Heights for some Chavella’s tacos.  I sucked down mine — a carne enchilada, a nopales and a papas con chorizo — and two Negra Modelos faster than you could say “SUPERFATTY.” Then I...
