ART SCHOOL AND PERIODS IN PROVENCE
It’s been a long time since I’ve written. I’ve drafted many posts, but haven’t had the time to post them. My focus has been on applying to graduate school. I just made the decision to not apply to any creative writing MFA programs. I feel as though my head wants to go, but my heart [...]
MAYBE IF I WROTE A FOOD BLOG, YOU’D READ IT.
“Maybe if I wrote about the ‘Top 10 Reasons You Should Get an iPhone’, I’d get more hits on my blog,” I said to my boyfriend tonight. There are times I wonder about this blog: Why the fuck would anyone want to read it? Who cares? It should be more topical. I thought about how [...]
ANTHONY BOURDAIN AND ERIC RIPERT, A REASON TO BE TURNED ON.
I found myself thoroughly turned on watching Anthony Bourdain’s 100th episode of “No Reservations”. Bourdain brought along heartthrob chef, Eric Ripert (Le Bernadin and “Top Chef”), as his co-host to explore the local food movement in Paris, France. Some girls love Robert Pattinson, some girls love Johnny Depp, but I’ll take Eric Ripert anytime. It wasn’t until I [...]
GOODBYE LYON!
Goodbye sweet Lyon. I will miss you. I have about twenty posts waiting to be published with little facts and pictures about Lyon. It’s an amazing city and I will surely be back!
FRENCH FOOD AND MY MOTHER
In four days, I leave Los Angeles for Lyon, France. I can’t believe it. I promised that I would blog everyday until the trip is over. Let’s see if I can do it. So, with that promise, comes “the writing” before I leave. Even if it’s shit, dribble, lists of stuff I have to do, [...]
A HUGE TURN OF EVENTS: I’M GOING TO FRANCE AND I’M GOING TO POSE NAKED WITH CROISSANTS!!!
I have not written for the past two weeks. Why? I got a job. I know, crazy thing to have a job in Los Angeles. I was making fun of insane Craigslist ads on this blog, and then I got an awesome job off of Craigslist. Not a crazy one. A crazy good one. I [...]
WHY ARE ALL FRENCH FILMS ABOUT ADULTERY?
I’ve had the flu for the past 4 days. I’ve gone from eating very little and feeling nauseous to eating like an insatiable pig. Starving. Cookie-chasing. So fucking hungry. In one day I must have consumed 7,000 calories. My stomach looks like a 6-month pregnant woman. Jesus. I gotta get over this flu. It’s like [...]
LET’S HAVE SEX ON A GIANT BEAR RUG, DRINK WINE AND WATCH A FRENCH FILM. OK?
I’m getting closer to knowing what I want in a man. In a woman, I just want a make-out session, and maybe more one day. But for procreation, I must be with a man. I’m kidding. I want to be with a man. Marriage. I think. Enough philosophizing about my sexual orientation which was heterosexual [...]
WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL TO LIVE IN PARIS?
I can romanticize anything. I once moved to the mountains of Wyoming, because for the majority of my childhood, I romanticized “Little House on the Prairie,” and wished I had been born in the prairie and horse farms of the West – rather than the suburbs of Boston. But wouldn’t Paris be wonderful? Sometimes I [...]
