I think I’m becoming one of those obnoxious people who can tell when the full moon is upon us without looking at the calendar, or who can just tell that Mercury is in retrograde or what have you. So I will blame it on the full moon that yesterday I was in a bit of […]
Super Freekeh

Today I was in the grocery store, and I noticed something in the grain/ cracker/ cookie/ ethnic food/ chocolate bar/ ice cream topping aisle. Does that seem like a strange combination of goods for one aisle in the grocery store? It does to me too. In any case, my friend and I were looking for quinoa, […]
Summer’s Almost Gone, Almost Gone
August 30, 2013 by
Here it is, the very last week of summer, and I’m trying to squeeze every moment out of it. I always feel kind of gloomy at the end of summer – I’m a summer-tastic kind of girl – but the gloominess is getting overridden by my excitement about September. My social life, which seems to […]

Getting right into the year 2005, I watched Revenge of the Sith on the weekend. Here’s a little piece of advice: do not watch the violent end of a movie minutes before leaving the house to attend a led primary practice. You will feel all shaky and NAMASTE, BITCH. Related: it’s very, very awkward when, […]

January 22, 2012 by
The New York Times recently published an article entitled How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body, spurring outrage throughout the yoga community, insofar as yogis can actually be outraged. For me, I read the article and had a number of reactions and feelings, so much so that I needed some time to organize my thoughts. The general […]
