New York Redux circa 2006

Sunday, September 13, 2009

Oh my. It’s been a while since I was last in New York. I just dug up these pictures from the last time I was there, and I’m flooded by memories of how much fun we had.. Now I’m even more excited about visiting again- it really is one of my favorite cities, and I [...]

Laudanum Honey

Wednesday, September 9, 2009

This past weekend, we made a quick jaunt to San Antonio to see Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey at the McNay Museum. It was truly everything I could have wished for and more- completely worth the trip. I was practically weeping over his grocery lists (TV Guide, cat food, cat litter) and hand-stitched [...]

Octopus Honey

Thursday, August 27, 2009

That and this on a rainy (!) night. The storm thrumbles and booms overhead, the little dogs shiver and quake- and me clickety-clack before a little late-night leftover scallops + gorgonzola grits from The Blue Dahlia, muy delicioso! Looking at this accordion girl makes me feel very free, and makes me think of Miss Courtney [...]

Coconut Honey

Thursday, July 30, 2009

Is it really Thursday again, already? Whew! Crazy-times. (Oops, it’s Friday now! Hah.) So hard not to be a totally nocturnal marsupial these days! ♡ The other night I had insomnia and stayed up way too late reading Lil Wayne interviews and developing a big crush. Oh Weezy. Here’s a treat, if by chance you’re [...]

Lapsang Honey

Friday, July 24, 2009

I really only have a teensy snoppet of time just now- but as it happens to be Thursday, (well it was when I started writing this, anyway!) I feel moved to thank my lucky stars for some bits of assorted amazingness I’ve been experiencing lately: ♡ It finally rained yesterday! We’ve been in a terrible [...]

Strawberry Honey

Sunday, June 28, 2009

I remember a few years ago, in New Orleans, I bought a carton of strawberries at the Farmer’s Market. I had become somewhat ambivalent about them over the years, having eaten far too many over-inflated, pale and watery mutants with no flavor to speak of. They left me disappointed and thinking that strawberries weren’t really [...]

Blueberry Honey

Sunday, May 17, 2009

Good things: I received a surprise parcel this week from my long-lost friend Herr von der Goltz- it contained a disc- Music of the Tatar People and a book from 1903, German Wit and Humor. I love the nouveau cover! So sweet- I am cheered. I can’t describe the joy I feel at wandering around [...]

Krewe of Eris – The Feast of the Appetites!

Monday, May 4, 2009

I look forward to the Krewe of Eris parade every year- it usually happens on the weekend before Mardi Gras, and this year (it occurred back in February, mind) it was quite chilly indeed. Luckily we were all able to augment our ensembles to accommodate both the theme and the weather! Last year we all [...]

Bunnytown

Monday, April 13, 2009

The Great Easter Egg Hunt of 2009 was a definite success- children frolicked, bonnets were flaunted, and delectables devoured! The rain came early in the morning, leaving us a perfect golden afternoon. This is my little neighbour, Miss Adelle Rose- is she not the prettiest child you have ever seen? My family and friends brought [...]

Late Night

Friday, April 3, 2009

I had a late night earlier this week, stayed up painting, pushing it all to the wall in order to have it done by morning. You reach the state of mind, alone in the studio, where time stops. It reverses and starts up again but with phosphor in all the cogs, it turns to jelly. [...]
