MISC.: I'm Totally Not Stressed, Though ...

If you're wondering why I have not been posting faithfully every day lately, I think the only way I can get across what I am dealing with in my "real life" is to just show you by posting pictures of my office. Each file folder is a case I am working on. Each piece of paper belongs in some file folder, somewhere, that may or may not already be in my office:




I am hanging on by my last fingernail right now ... blog posts will pick up in pace when I get a better grip.

damn. I really should bring back an anonymous business-related blog. But now I'm "out".

Work is criz-azy for me right now too. But looking at your pics makes me feel a little better, because any amount of paper like that is so overwhelming to me . . . I sit in admiration of your talents.

Ha! It's overwhelming to me too ... but I have an unfortunate talent for taking a monstrous snarl of paperwork and handing it back to you in neat little piles all tabbed and highlighted with a memo explaining what needs to happen.

What happens when you hate what you're talented at? How do you resolve that?

You win the lottery? You're also talented at a lot of things you don't hate. You hope that you become lucrative...

Yep, that's about my plan right now. Hope that I become lucrative. Because I don't even have time to buy lottery tickets--they don't sell them at the gas station I like.

Sometimes when I am doing an organizing task like that, I think I should have been one of those people that organizes your closet and stuff because then I could at least look at people's stuff, which is something I like to do, if authorized. But I think I would hate that too. Plus, if my home is any indicator, I probably would not be as great at that as I think, regardless of what I can do to a pile of paper.

what's missing is a photo of you in these shots, hunched over your desk in a crisp white shirt, glasses dangling from your mouth.

at least that's how i imagine your lawyer life to be.

Ha ha! That sounds so sophisticated. My shirt is neither crisp, nor white (hey, it's Friday!) and I don't where glasses. But the hunching part is spot on.

RESTAURANT: Ristorante Belvedere, Monterosso al Mare, Italy

We started off our second-to-last day in the Cinque Terre by taking the train to Vernazza for breakfast: There was supposed to be a market that day, but since the weather was threatening, there were only a few meager stalls, mostly selling non-food items. We had our breakfast and walked around the village a bit. Vernazza used to have a river flowing all the way through it, but now the river has been shunted underground at a certain point. If you walk to the top of town you can see it, along with some ducks and geese that hang out there to get fed by whoever comes along. J. and I then went to sit and have an espresso and wait for the train to Corniglia, the only town we hadn't yet visited. Corniglia is home to the local nude beach (which we skipped) and is the highest of the towns, elevation-wise. We had to walk up a buttload of steps to get there. Look at me go: That's actually me going down (a lot faster than I came up), but I did come up them as well. There is a bus that ta...

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a...

INFO+RECIPE: Isaac Brock: Rock Musician, Chef

MODEST MOUSE Modest Mouse is not my favorite band. It is one of those bands that everyone around me loves and I am overwhelmingly indifferent to. I can think of one song of theirs that I like. I saw them live one time and came away with the impression that I like the music, the vocals just leave a lot to be desired. That vocalist is Isaac Brock. Isaac Brock has never come off as a nice person to me, when reading his interviews about music. I'd basically written him off as a bad vocalist, and arrogant twat. Then, I read an interview with him in the Believer . The interview was not about music, it was about food, and cooking. And I was shocked. It was like I was reading about a whole different person. A person I liked and wanted to know. A person like me. I discovered that he was born a mere two days before me. If astrology has anything to say about it, then he probably IS a person like me. Not quite the same ... that two days mak...
