Raspberry Ginger Bliss

Bliss is a constant state of mind, undisturbed by gain or loss.
Just having a little ‘zen moment’ over a cup of Raspberry Ginger tea…

Greek Garbanzo Bean Salad

I made this dish for the first time last night and let it marinate, by lunchtime today it was even more delicious than I had anticipated.
Garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) are have a wonderful nut-like flavor and are found in a wide variety of dishes, from soups and salads to Middle Eastern classics like hummus and […]

Feeling (mis)fortunate?

I have always had a secret urge to replace the slips of paper inside fortune cookies, turning them into misfortune cookies. It’s vaguely comforting to know I’m not alone in that desire. In a somewhat ironic fashion, the fortune in the cookie I opened today said:

Awww, thanks! That’s the first time I’ve received one targeting […]

Clearly, this calls for a party…

While I was in the middle of cooking dinner (the always fabulous Bangin’ Bharta), my roommate came home with a surprise. One of his clients is moving to Florida and unloading a lot of things he doesn’t want to move and can’t (or is not inclined to) sell. Among other things, we appear to have […]

Bangin’ Bharta

This is the recipe for an East Indian vegetarian dish called Baingan (Eggplant) Bharta that I’ve made a few times and absolutely love. Despite the fact that I always tend to make spicy dishes too hot for everyone else’s palate, it is so good that my friends and I now intentionally refer to it as […]

Fishy, fishy, fishy fish

My roommate went fishing in the Chesapeake Bay recently. This is one of the Stripers (as opposed to strippers, which he also would have been fine with) he caught. It’s about 3 feet long! I’m duly impressed. Seriously. Now our freezer is pretty well stocked, and my roomie feels extra-manly (ladies, he’s available… email me […]

Ever eaten a Hairy Mexican?

Well, I have! Now you can un-arch that eyebrow, it’s just the name of a sushi roll at my favorite local asian fusion restaurant. I was treated to another birthday dinner tonight by my generous and charmingly obnoxious friend, Mr. M. We don’t have a song (which is appropriate, as usually it’s with an […]



Random Quote

I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

About This Blog

Just another personal blog, wherein I bore you with what I've recently watched, listened to, read, digested, contemplated, observed, and experienced, and how cool it would be if I were anything like the person you think I am. I'm a beautiful and unique snowflake, just like everybody else.

  • Faster, Paris! Kill! Kill!

    TCM showed a couple of cult film classics from 1965 tonight, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Mudhoney. One of the female leads in the latter bears a striking resemblance to Paris Hilton. I could picture her in a remake along with Nicole Ritchie, although neither is voluptuous enough for a Russ Meyer flick! #


  • I am not a spammer!

    I've been getting a lot of bounce back emails over the past few days. It appears that nyominx.com is getting joe jobbed—someone is sending out spam and putting fake email addresses with my domain in the "From" field. To top it off, I'm getting the same spam messages coming from other domains who I assume are also getting joe jobbed! The worst part is that there's really nothing I can do about it except complain and assure you that it's not originating from me. #


  • My current header image...

    ...is an homage to The Greatest Nancy Panel Ever Drawn. Marginally related: I was feverishly sick once while quite young and, so sick that I was hallucinating... At the foot of my bed, a tiny Nancy was chasing a tiny Sluggo (or maybe Sluggo was chasing Nancy, it's been so long I can't remember now) across my blanket with a stick, intent on giving a serious beating. I screamed, and my parents came running, but I never could really quite explain to them what had terrified me. #


  • Grrrrrrrr

    I updated my obligatory "this is my dog" page, now including a short sound clip (video soon to follow, hopefully). #
