Everything is black. Except for a top and a pair of not-so-short shorts, which verge on khaki and are just as invisible as black if needed. I spent more time choosing which pens to bring than which clothes to pack; this is normal. I didn’t bring anything for Neil Gaiman to sign. I am still …
And to think I only had to keep it up for the last two weeks of November. Bad blogger. Bad blogger.
We listened to 350 entries in radio, and scrutinized over 50 entries in the multimedia category. We took breaks to clear our ears and nibble on art-directed pastries. In the end, we had several golds, and a best of medium. The auditors wore identical black-rimmed glasses, a sight that creeped me out just a little …
the rain sheeting, careening crazy down the windshield. A splitsecond later, as the car moves forward, the ears receive the bounty of sound, the pitter too soon after the patter. I imagine slow rain to have vowels like long e and long i, but a monsoon downpour does away with all the vowels, and insists …
I cancelled my Multiply account. If people wish to find me they can google me. I love spring cleaning.

The Print Jury gave Gold Swishy Guys to the Soroptimist campaign …
We’re used to doing the impossible (three ingredients plus product action plus multisyllabic sub-brand names plus a functional benefit and an emotional benefit (even two) and a tagline and a corporate end frame) in a 30 second tv spot. Surely this skill can be turned to something that holds more meaning for more people in …
I like this more detailed readability analysis, but alas, it does not have a widget. This blog falls in between TV Guide and Reader’s Digest. My old blog is on the high end of most popular novels, sneaking up on Time and Newsweek. I should use tintinnabulation, excoriate, phlogiston, anile and caterwaul more often, with …
Mess + desk = mesk. I have a mesk. Twelve bottles of ink. Three Shiseido foundations: one powder, one brightening veil, one smoothing veil. One bottle of Estee Lauder Idealist, a gift, unopened. A charger for a phone I no longer own. Johnson’s baby fresh cleansing wipes. Nars blush in Gueule de Nuit. Shiseido lipstick …
