Wednesday 3 March 2010 | 2 cookies in the jar
Which may edge out “Woman, Trapped, Survives on Moisture” as best headline ever. This via Mandarin—a little human-interest story that made my MONTH. Three THOUSAND years. Holy holy-flower, that’s…that’s rare, is what that is. Kind of like me posts. For simple reasons, some previously given, some new: 1) weekend head cold that has slyly shifted [...]

Moments later we were dancing wildly together. There is nothing so good almost as dancing with a great girl dancer. It seems so much more natural than dancing with some stiff guy who won’t look you in the eye. If he’s shy he’ll watch the walls and if he’s an asshole he’ll ogle your tits [...]

Last night, a fairly hysterical dinner party— our entire DBT group met at the raw-food member’s home. Annika served beautiful raw lasagne (thin-sliced red, green, and yellow heirloom tomatoes and zucchini interspersed with tomato sauce, basil pesto and pistachio puree) and raw chocolate mousse (coconut, agave, cacao and cocoa butter), and occasionally she as it [...]

It will not make the communication either good or bad, but it will help to ensure that communication happens.

Who is this flower above me, and what is the work of this God? I would know myself in all my parts. —traditional Feri prayer • Struggling through the neither-fish-nor-fowl prose of Drawing Down the Moon (because surely after all these years I should finish the damn thing), pitching and yawing through Margot Adler’s fat [...]

The New Mexican provides this helpful listing of all the spiritual groups in Santa Fe—anything that could be even remotely considered a congregation has been included, from the Assembly of God to A Course in Miracles to the Wiccans. It is, quite frankly, like dropping in on a Fellini cast party. These people are weird—probably [...]
