Mmm. I tried Japanese food for the first time (that I was aware of, my mom could have snuck it in without me knowing) about a year or two ago. It was at Kiki’s Japanese Casual Dining in Denver, Colorado. I was too afraid to try anything new so I got something lame like teriyaki…

A mostly bad day
I found this pair at the Salvation Army today, for about $3 total. I was so excited! The film was the right size for my SX-70… I had heard that it was okay to use expired film, but I they were talking about a few years old. This film expired in 1989. Needless to say…
New color film from the Impossible Project!
I bought one. It’s totally a great deal! Three packs of color film for the price of two! The only catch is that you’re a guinea pig for the film. Worth it! The Impossible Project is so wonderful about helping customers who get a bum batch of film, so I’m not worried (I don’t know…
Do you like design? I like design.
While procrastinating yesterday I discovered fwis.com, or more specifically their book cover appreciation blog.I love good cover art. Wouldn’t that be an amazing career? To design actually meaningful covers for books? Not just two blurred people talking to each other? I added them to my blog roll. And an old favorite, The Dieline. This is…

LightLife veggie sausage review
Breakfast is my favorite meal and I love breakfast food. If I had my way, I would have scrambled eggs,biscuits, sausage/bacon, toast, hashbrowns, pancakes, waffles and whatever else for breakfast every day. Unfortunately, none of those things are very good for you. (Although, in my opinion, breakfast is the best time to consume calories since…
Neat things: NPR + alcohol
I heard these three NPR stories recently and though they were so interesting. I actually almost never drink alcohol because I don’t like the taste, but I have nothing against it. 01| “Aged 9,000 Years, Ancient Beer Finally Hits Stores” [6:24 min] An All things considered story about the recently finding the oldest beer—in China!…
Pan-roasted lemon-garlic chicken
Another yummy dinner from RealSimple magazine. Lemon-garlic chicken with red potatoes and green beans. My mom overloaded me with chicken when I came back to school and I had no idea what to do with it all. The RealSimple recipe uses chicken breasts, but I wanted to get rid of these pieces, and it worked…
5: Childhood fears
Five things that I was afraid of when I was little: 01| The Dark. “Where anything can happen/kill you” 02| Accidentally selling my soul to the devil. My sister read me this story of a man who sold his soul to the devil and later deeply regretted it. It wasn’t a particularly religious story, but…
How to test the freshness of your eggs
I saw this in RealSimple magazine and thought I would share. (It’s a really great magazine.) Gently place an egg in a bowl of water. If the egg sinks to the bottom and lies on its side, it’s fresh If the egg sinks and stands large side up, you better eat your eggs fast because…
