This is the sort of thing that inspires me most. Not mammoth gestures or grand facades or even saturated beauty. Sure, there’s a place and time for the aforementioned things, but it is said that even God comes to us in a gentle whisper. Humble and quite acts in the midst of the common that [...]

Tango, Anyone?
Posted in On the Road Again, Small Feats, tagged Argentina, Buenos Aires, Club Sin Rumbo, milonga, tango on December 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The next step after tango classes is the milonga.
What is a milonga? According to Wikipedia:
Milonga is a term for a place or an event where tango is danced …
… Most milongas are held on a regular basis (usually weekly), and they often begin with dancing classes and sometimes demonstration dances. Usually, three to five songs [...]
My Toe, My Brain, My Bank Account

While my “someone” is now frolicking on the beaches of Chile on horseback, I have a hole in my toe. Well, that’s a bit dramatic — it’s just a small cut — but “hole in my toe” is fun to write. I was taking a shower yesterday when the glass shelf on top of the [...]
The Passage of a Moment, the Passing of a Test
Posted in Inspiration Point, Small Feats, tagged conversations, getting it done on September 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
You know those moments when you think, “there’s no way I can rise above the tide so I might as well get ready to drown”? I had that very moment this week, a moment that lasted 2 days. Thanks to a friend who thought otherwise, I had a go at the swimming, the rising above, [...]
Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina
Posted in On the Road Again, Small Feats, tagged Argentina, Buenos Aires, Spanish on September 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Why would it cry for me, when it doesn’t even know me? It will, in a few weeks’ time. I bought my tickets to Argentina today. Leaving October 11th and returning December 12th. I thought I would get the butterflies while getting the tickets but it was not a big deal at all. Everyone I’ve [...]
Slumps Are for Kids

I am a terrible blogger.
I know this. The thing that makes me a bad blogger — that is, a non-commital, inconsistent blogger — makes me a bad artist, unhealthy and unhygenic person, messy roommate, etc. etc. etc. I often get into these gooey slumps that are difficult to get up and wade out of, and [...]
A Five-Year Plan
Posted in Small Feats, tagged Brande Jackson, Los Feliz, Skylight Bookstore on July 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Last Saturday, I embarked on a new journey. I was hanging out at Skylight Bookstore in Los Feliz with my friend Brande and came across a five-year diary. You start any day of the year and when you’re ready for the next year, you go back to the page/day you started and write in the [...]
Office Desk

It only took me 6 months to start on the road to organization at my “new” apartment.
Thank to my big mouth, and the active encouragement of a friend whose ear was at the mercy of said mouth, I now have a spacious work desk in my home office. Sang helped to design, engineer and prep [...]

List of things I pleasantly surprised myself by doing in the last few days:

2. Go to the Getty Museum to see the California Video show
3. Bake my first-ever vegan cupcakes
4. Write my resume
5. Write a poem, sort of
6. Draw
To specifically address #5 and #6, I’ve [...]
Farmer in the Mac
Posted in Small Feats, tagged graphic design, Mac, The Think Farm on May 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I am so over Dell, especially seeing what my roommate had to go through with their customer service. Ew. Anyway, after much … inactivity … I powered through and put together a much more presentable online portfolio for The Think Farm. I always knew this would have to be priority before I did anything with [...]
