The Regular

Maverick

Last week's weather was so ridiculous. Freaking cold. I was rocking a babushka/homeless look at home with fingerless gloves and my blanket wrapped around my shoulders, and was ready to light a trashcan on fire in my apartment for warmth, all hobo style. There was so much…

The Chatterbox

January 22, 2008

You know, sometimes I hear things, but usually I have to go out and find things. (Thank you Google, I couldn’t do my job half as well without you.) But wow, let’s hear it for when I discover news totally by accident. Surprise! I was trying to confirm…

The Health Nut

January 22, 2008

Looks like I’ll be sleeping in even more on Saturdays since Fit Camp will no longer be holding Saturday classes at Dolores Park. Zzzzzzzz. I know, that’s terrible of me, I should go out on a bike ride. I promise I’ll do something sporty, although this Saturday…

The Starlet

January 22, 2008

Sean Penn was spotted in Kuleto’s, leaving some people to wonder if his dreads were part of his hat, or perhaps a disguise. Maybe it’s his new look. Anyway, he and some cast from the Harvey Milk film were there for a late dinner. Senator Diane Feinstein booked…

New York, New York--January 2008
The Jetsetter

New York, New York--January 2008

Can you believe on this last trip I ate at ~MOMOFUKU~ twice? Yes, the pork buns really are that freaking delicious (especially with a squirt of the warm sriracha that has a lingering, beastly heat--be sure to request it). The buns demanded a repeat performance the very next day.…
