DF Deliciousness
Mmmmmore food! Upon arrival in México, la capital, DF, Mexico City, Ciudad de Mexico, or wherever the fuck I was, I immediately continued to eat. Best. Vacation. Ever. My hosts whisked me away to Eno, a hip sandwich shop in their Polanco neighborhood. I have learned that in today’s globalized world it is possible to … Continue reading
Oregon Trail: Eats and Drinks
In addition to being asked the befuddling question of “red or green” in New Mexico (greatly clarified by my current classmates’ knowledge of enchilada sauces), we did our best to eat like the locals. As many of you know, a trip just wouldn’t be a trip if it didn’t center around epicurean themes. Thus the … Continue reading
Cali Coast #6: North
We left San Francisco after two beautifully sunny days, finally experiencing the famous soupy fog (I was beginning to think that it didn’t exist!). North of the City we cut over to the coast on Highway 1 and began what was my absolute favorite section of the coastal drive. People faded away and the roads … Continue reading
NB
Umm, despite the decidedly amarga interaction with Fandango, this has been a week of *really* good news. I got a non-ironic letter of acceptance into the PhD program on April 1st, and will see my photography in a public exhibit for the first time since 2007. I am writing again (for fun! gasp!), making Texas a home, … Continue reading
I am so fucking cool.
And really, I have no idea how it happened. In high school, I spent pretty much 97% of my time congratulating myself on how I wasn’t like “all the rest of them” and owning my status as a social pariah with a cape of bitterness and caustic wit. Several years ago my tagline on Match.com … Continue reading
Don’t Cry for Me Argentine Parrillada
My sister came into town on Thursday. I thought it was Friday on Wednesday, and couldn’t really tell what the date was after June 3rd, the last of the GP Junior exhibitions. When you’ve been working seven days a week, it’s hard to notice the days hat start with “s.” Starting off June with a … Continue reading
The Beauty of Labels
As we all know, I’ve inherited some of my mother’s Librarian gene: the Williamson penchant for list-making, labeling, and cataloging. In my new-found empty time with 2 of the 3 W’s no longer in New York City, I have gone back to my little blog for much-needed maintenance. A tune-up, really, and adding in a … Continue reading
La Llegada
I now live in Buenos Aires, on a happily bustling street in Palermo Soho called J. L. Borges. Yes folks, that’s right; I have fulfilled my lifelong dream of living with Borges. Yet I feel slightly out of place here in this, the trendiest of neighborhoods in B.A.: after spending several years on the precipice … Continue reading
Teacher Planning
Thanks to the end of the first quarter and the Jews, there are a lot of teacher planning days in October. We even had one last random one thrown in last Thursday, for Yom Kippur. I still don’t know if it’s pronounced “yaahm kipper” or “yoohm keep-uhr.” Rachael may kill me, but right now I … Continue reading
Back in the Saddle
It’s raining in Miami tonight, as it has done for the past 25 days of June. No, that’s a lie. There was actually one day (while I was on vacation) when it did NOT, I repeat, did NOT rain in the MIA. Does this mean that I’m gloomy, under the weather, walking about with dampened … Continue reading
