All Mirth, No Matter

Last Wednesday I worked downtown, did power flow yoga, went to sushi with A, three martinis (!) at Art Bar after dinner, then late night Corner Bistro. Woke up around 7am on Thursday, and head...

Bollywood Hawaii

Thursday - worked downtown, did Tabata high intensity intervals class, then vinyasa yoga right afterwards. Showered, went home, and A had made quinoa salad for us with radishes, avocado, and cuc...


Last Saturday - got back from airport, got 16 Handles for lunch/dinner (linner?) went to sleep nice and early. I don't really believe in jet lag, but was really hoping to use the time difference...


Macau: On Monday morning, we packed up, grabbed a taxi, and headed back to the Beijing airport. Flight was delayed a bit, but the airport is nice and very modern, so time passed quickly. Watche...


If you couldn't tell from my last entry - I was on a total endorphin high after the marathon. It carried me through almost the rest of our trip! The city of Beijing and the Great Wall Marathon...

Ni Hao!

We are in Beijing, China!!! A few snags in getting here in a timely fashion due to travel delays via Hong Kong, but we got to Mainland China on Wednesday, went to the Great Wall for an inspectio...

Hot Tub Time Machine

Thursday was a rushed day - worked from the regular office, then headed home and got ready for Hot Tub Cinema - a rooftop movie screening in Williamsburg. We had tried to do this when we were in...


Quinoa Meatloaf Update: everything I hoped it would be and more! I microwaved it at work and had with shredded purple cabbage for lunch on Thursday and Friday. Thursday, 4/24 after work we went...


I think I always get a bit restless in April. Oh well, it's almost over. Friday A and I were both running on empty...he is stressed at work and we were both annoyed by yet another apartment pur...

Love & Other Demons

Rest in peace Gabriel Garcia Marquez. If you hadn't already noticed from my long-time diary title, I am a huge fan of the magical realism genre. In high school especially, I devoured his work a...

Lather, Rinse, Repeat

I'm at the office and I'm writing an entry...stop me if you've heard it... Yesterday afternoon flew by and before I knew it, was time to head out for the gym. Did the rowing circuit class with ...

Double-Yolk Day

Yesterday our usual class was cancelled due to Passover so my colleague Caroline and I left work a little early and headed to a different branch of our gym for a new boot camp class. It's in a c...

He Died of Thirst

After getting back from Finland, we've been trying to stay on an earlier and more consistent schedule. The night we got back, we went to sleep nice and early and the next morning, we woke up bef...

Reindeer Express

The bus to Kakslauttanen was super smooth and uneventful. Slept a little on the bus and before we knew it we were at the resort! Luckily the reception was not far from where the bus stopped, we...

Breaststroke, Literally

We landed in Finnish Lapland from Helsinki early afternoon. Even the airport was really festive, welcoming swimmers coming into town. The town of Rovaniemi is marketed as the "Hometown of Sant...

Imma Let You Finnish

After one of the craziest winters in a while, it makes perfect sense to go on holiday somewhere even snowier and colder, right? Thursday night: Drinks and A Raisin in the Sun with my mom. Sho...

If/Then

Thursday was a long one at work so I had to skip the gym and met up with A at our usual sushi place around 9pm. I took a taxi from the office because I had my big bag for the gym, plus a bag of ...


Tuesday afternoon I went out with my work colleagues for a team dinner. We started off with hot popovers and fresh butter, which I don't think I'd ever had but were completely awesome. We sha...

Since Days of Underoos

I can't believe it's March already - last week went by in kind of a blur. I was not looking forward to it but had to head to Texas for work. I had a 10am flight on Wednesday and actually got to...

Sea & Sky

So much for moderation. On Thursday evening I made it home right before we would have needed to head out for class, and A only beat me there by two minutes. He was still a stress case so we ma...

Think of This as a Window

Not too much to write about today. I guess there is always something to write about but by that I mean I haven't done much in the past 24 hours since I last wrote. But who knows, maybe I will b...


I started to write an entry yesterday, about how I've been feeling kind of discombobulated lately, but then I stayed up until 3am last night getting work done and assorted other life organization...

Snowflakes on Cobblestones

The first entry here should probably be something exciting, or at least my year-end summary from 2013, but I just don't have the time/attention span/energy. Busy work times again - last week d...

Book Description

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”
