pictures of cupcakes.: October 2008
http://picturesofcupcakes.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 26, 2008. My Sunday didn't start out too well. First it was confirmed that all outlets are out of tickets for Girl Talk (all my fault, I was one day too late). Then I had to walk home from a totally mediocre breakfast in the snow and cold. By the time I got home my ears felt like they were going to fall off, and I was determined not to leave the house again. Luckily I had one thing to look forward to - leftover butternut squash soup! From the Joy of Cooking. 1 large butternut squash.

pictures of cupcakes.: my trip, in haiku
http://picturesofcupcakes.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-trip-in-haiku.html
Sunday, April 05, 2009. My trip, in haiku. Try the gruh mah blah. Seller of cheap threads, soho. Ruins, haunting, beautiful. Perfect with the rain. Cute boys in Philly. Smile after eye contact. Here and nowhere else. Symbol of freedom and all. Kind of a big yawn. Got on bus that left "early". Penn Station, that way. Hello, dear Brooklyn. Sorry I did not see you. Oh look, here I am. On avenue A again. Is a wonderful building. Lines around the block. Black and white pudding. Is not actually pudding.

pictures of cupcakes.: places i exist on the internet.
http://picturesofcupcakes.blogspot.com/2009/04/places-i-exist-on-internet.html
Thursday, April 09, 2009. Places i exist on the internet. I'm having a blog problem, and have been for quite some time. The problem is that I never quite know what to do with this place. I'm not very inspired to write here, and when I do it seems to take forever. Meanwhile, I love my tumblr. I can collect pretty things I find on the internet, post very short tidbits, and hell, even call in and ramble on my birthday. 5 I should probably just move this entire operation to tumblr and call it a day. EXCEPT&#...

Sunday, September 21, 2008. Last weekend I saw WALL-E. (Cute.) Later that night I was at a bookstore without periodicals so I was forced to browse books instead of fashion magazines. The horror! And the movie had me in an apocalyptic mood, so I thumbed through The World Without Us. For a bit. I learned two things in my short reading:. 1 I have no desire to actually read that whole book. 2 My exfoliating bath products contain tiny tiny bits of plastic that are killing precious sea animals. (See here.

Sunday, November 30, 2008. I started on this site. Which has a bunch of suggestions with yogurt and honey, because I pretty much always have those. I tried a face mask first. 2 tablespoons plain yogurt. 1-2 tablespoons oatmeal, cooked and cool (or, just add water to dry oats at about a 2-1 ratio if you don't feel like cooking it). Then there were my hands. Lately they've been feeling like awful sandpaper and nothing really helped. So I clicked on the first google hit and found this recipe. Anyway, a long...

pictures of cupcakes.: on cleanliness, and trying.
http://picturesofcupcakes.blogspot.com/2009/02/on-cleanliness-and-trying.html
Monday, February 09, 2009. On cleanliness, and trying. I grew up in a slightly messy household, though one that certainly aspired to be clean based on how often my mom told me to "find my floor." ("It's right there! I would respond, snobbishly.) My room was pretty much always dirty, and it was always a point of contention. Yet at some time after moving out, I got better at cleaning. Not great, but better. Magazines at the Y. I've lived here a while. Some things need changing. Or just cleaning. I turn 27 ...

http://picturesofcupcakes.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 25, 2009. Picture books, the bad. I came across this book in school once - it's a very easy book, meant for very low readers. We had a lot of these books around for the newbies, and pretty much all of them were boring and very simple. But this one has always amazed me. It's called The Good Life. And you can see the whole book here. The setting is a house, where two brightly colored birds are in their cages, chatting. Kip talks about wanting to live somewhere else. Go to Moon Island, or an...

pictures of cupcakes.: December 2008
http://picturesofcupcakes.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2008. I know I pride myself on not eating processed foods, but I find it hard to abstain completely. One weakness is crackers, another is kettle cooked potato chips, sometimes I eat tortillas, but the biggest one? Pre-made stock. Or broth. Or some variation of salty, flavored liquid to put in soup. I tried making stock for a while, but this is what I noticed about making stock myself:. 1 It became this huge event, like Sunday would be Stock Day! I still had concerns, though - most...

Thursday, February 19, 2009. I have been feeling a LOT of malaise with my apartment lately - for instance, right now I want to rearrange all my furniture and paint all the walls, and yet certain built-ins and a supposed no painting policy are getting in the way of that. So while I'm feeling bored with my abode, I have to remind myself that there is a lot of awesomeness in my neighborhood, my dear Cathedral Hill. Three examples. 1 Mango Thai Restaurant. Photo courtesy of their website). 2 The Happy Gnome.
