Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Chatty!co-worker (who was responsible for the whole " 'ethnic food' is a racist term!" argument) said "Every food is an ethnic food. Macaroni and cheese is the food of a specific ethnicity; you [specifically meaning me] just don't think it's exotic, so you don't call it 'ethnic'."

I asked him what ethnicity macaroni and cheese is from, and he said, "American." I said that was a nationality, not an ethnicity, so he quoted the dictionary definition of "ethnicity" at me, which -- in his dictionary, which is Webster's 10th, I think -- said "the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common NATIONAL or cultural tradition."

I can't win this one with him.

Art Crawl!!!

Having a banner week:

1. Debit card spoofed and $300.00 stolen from my account.
2. Broke my kindle
3. Went in to doctor - will need more tests (sigh)
4. Twitter account phished.

Silver lining: not much money in my acct because my tax refund was delayed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Damn, sumi, you are due for something really nice. Truffles are a good start.

Hey Sophia, have you heard about this project?

Last week, eleven Magnum photographers descended on Rochester, New York, to document the city, though not in a traditional sense. Each photographer will explore themes related to his or her personal interests. Collectively, they will create an archive of Rochester at this moment in time. “House of Photos,” as this expedition is called, is a continuation of “Looking at America,” the agency’s ongoing collaboration, which kicked off last year when five photographers travelled from Austin, Texas to Oakland, California in an R.V.
