Cheese Blog Alert
Cheese: Idiazabal
Animal: Sheep
Location: Spain, Basque Country
Imagine if a campfire made love to a buttered baked potato and that’s what eating Idiazabal tastes like. From my favorite isolate rebels The Basque, be careful, this is an addictive one. Medium soft and smokey on the outside, light and creamy finish. Eaten with Doctor Kracker’s Seedlander Crispbreads and an Anjou...

A feeling seizes upon you for a moment, for an eternity, it’s impossible to tell the difference. A lifetime felt in an instant.

The myth of 10%
http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/10percent.asp
I, like many of us in the world, have long believed in the idea that we’re only utilizing 10% of our brain capacity at any given moment. Turns out, there isn’t any neuroscience backing up this claim. It’s more accurate to say we use 100% of our brain.
However, the pervasiveness of this myth in society doesn’t worry me....

Red Riding Hood
Red Riding Hood
On this late autumn day, the darkness seemed to take hold even earlier than usual. The sky was clear and the air bitterly cold. The Harvest Moon was full and sat heavily on the horizon. A young man not quite 18 with soft brown eyes and a lithely frame made his way through the silent woods, crossbow raised. He was going to kill the wolf tonight. It had taken another victim. ...

10 Flying Tips from a Fearful Frequent Flyer
1. Get to the airport only 30-40 mins before flight. I know it sounds risky but especially if you don’t have baggage to check, reducing the wait time before my flight, leaves me less time to worry about it, (b/c i’m too focused on not missing it!).
2. Have a drink beforehand. I have found this really helps with my tension. I used to get nausea before flying but the drink helps...

Secrets fall
Secrets fall, like leaves off an old tree, when they’re ready.
But the good ones, the darkest and the most important,
stay locked in a box marked DO NOT OPEN,
somewhere in the black recesses of your heart.
You have lost the key or forgotten where you left it.
If I had an eternity I would search tirelessly
and bring it back to you.

The Myth of Thunder
When the voice of Truth pierces the sky
She begins her song with I
The shrilling note shakes the fisher boats
But waters still, it wants to hear
Ancient rhymes of starlight sighs
All is kept within its depths, the I
The wind her palette, an ocean of air
A most envious bed, when Caelus her wed
For as the heavens are full she is fair
From her words he stirs, the volcano
A slumberous moan...

WatchNever thought of Portlandia as stuck in the 90s but ya know, it really kinda is.
This is funny stuff if you’ve ever lived or gotten stuck there for any amount of time.

Two Tenets of a Third Wave Feminist
I’m a feminist.
But probably not the kind you think of, or the kind Ann Coulter loves to mock. My view of feminism is simple and contains two tenets. 1. Women should hold all the rights and privileges men do in every society. (No big shocker here) 2. Women should be in control of their own destiny. This means, their body, their property, their relationships and their...

A discussion of weather
Today is one of those hole-up-with-a-book-and be quiet and introspective days. I’ve done a lot of expressing and a lot of dreaming this week. I feel like taking in, retreating, storing up, gathering, preparing for winter. Though winter is very mild here in San Francisco, last year I questioned whether it ever came. We seemed to glide most effortlessly from chilly autumn to sunny...

31
Rapidly approaching 31, I’m taking stock of my life and wondering about what I’ve learned as a grown up.
So here is my cliffnotes version of life lessons in the past ten years.
30- Transitions are hard, being an adult is even harder and really truly believing in God is effing mindblowing.
29-Life will take care of you if you let it. Be patient and float on.
28- If it’s not love then...

Passages from books I've recently finished.
The tectonic layers of our lives rest so tightly one on top of the other that we always come up against earlier events in later ones, not as matter that has been fully formed and pushed aside, but absolutely present and alive…Maybe I did write our story to be free of it, even if I never can be.
The Reader, Bernhard Schlink
Just as jealousy obsessed Proust, I have been obsessed by the...
