sometimes impurities sneak in
In December I went to a yoga class that was taught by one of the handsomest men I’ve ever seen. Definitely hands-down winner of cutest yoga teacher — even cuter than the tattooed (and straight!) Jivamukti instructor in San Francisco. And that, let me assure you, is saying a lot. This guy, apart from possessing…

I am going to make a drawing once a month and post it here. I feel rusty, especially because I can’t play iSketch (online Pictionary) since yet another graphic tablet died. I am allowing myself to draw a couple drafts in advance, but I am not allowed to overdo it and, when I scan the…

The WITI team gets me going! I isolated the audio, turned it into an MP3 file and brought it on my road trip with Molly. We played it when we needed a boost in the mornings as we hit the road. [direct link] And now, meet the groovy staff of WOUB, 1977 team: [direct link]…
Read Moreblack lung and brain rot
After a whirlwind, week-long courtship, I have finally said YES to an utterly cruddy cold. Since I seem to have inherited lungs from a chronically tubercularesque ancestor, the cold has settled in my chest. As is my norm. Cough, wheeze.

I was featured yesterday on Han’s Bloggers Wednesday post. Preen, preen! I get to shout out my favorite blogs, give a little history about my old self, and be a typical curmudgeon as I answer Han’s question: Han: Piece of advice for bloggers out there? Becky: Please don’t drop off the face of the (blogging)…

My family’s old beach house boasted some lovely gardens and landscaping, thanks to the green thumbs of my grandmother, my mother, and my cousin N. The rest of us just appreciated their efforts. My love of sweetpeas, in particular, is hardwired into my lineage; my mother could remember her grandmother planting them. Who knows how…
Read Morejumped through hoop and got dog treat; also: fashion!
I bought a bizarre-looking tunic (not pictured above) from the thrift store the other night. There were two identical ones, one labeled a size 3, one a 4. They both looked enormous so I was confused by the sizing. I went for the 4. This is a chain thrift store with a policy of not…
