California versus Upstate New York: grocery...
Note: these are just my experiences. I’m sure some people can find the stuff I describe, but given what I have access to, here is an account of my weary food travels.
I can’t find a frozen tamale or mochi or potsticker to save my life, but there is a whole section devoted to perogies. The closest thing to my favorite freezer foods I can find is a scary looking lump that Pancho Villa...

Tumblr To Do
I started this as fun for myself. I am obsessed with collecting, saving, hoarding beautiful images. And recipes. And lists. And ideas. And quotes. It’s a good things these are all able to be stored electronically, or I’d be like one of those crazy people on the TV show Hoarders. Tumblr seems to have it all, so it was natural for me to get one. Although I was pretty unaware of the...

What I've learned about trying to sell things on...
1. You don’t have to play fair or nice. You can cancel on people, chose another to buy your stuff, for no other reason than gut intuition. The same for choosing an apartment, piece of furniture etc, you can cancel and buy something else if you want. Its the Wild Wild West of dealing and trading and you have to know when to walk away for a better value.
2. NEVER EVER email a seller 3 times...

Never wear anything unless you would be comfortable having your picture taken wearing it.
I just realized how many favorite “life” moments - and the previous few of them that were captured on camera - just happen. The day to day moments. I’m not saying you need to be a Glamazon, but I’ve realized by only wearing clothes I really LIKE and that fit me or are color...

Brand New →
I have such distinct memories from this last year of essentially moving into two brand new places - Napa and my new studio here. I remember falling asleep in both feeling that strange sense of new. Now I look at both with fond familiarity. I know and love every inch of my current kitchen’s layout.
I’m excited for the upgrade of the new kitchen, but its going to be all so new.

I have one month before I leave Davis.
Things I will do to say goodbye to Davis:
A full walk of the Arboretum
Ride in a double-decker bus
Buy more UC Davis swag (thinking a good tee and see what else I see)
Eat In n Out until I just can’t take it anymore
Harry Potter midnight showing
Ride as much as possible
Enjoy the California sunshine.

I’ll have to do this with grape leaves before I leave. I dunno how much I trust my scanner to pull this off, but worse comes to worse, I always used to do pressed flowers and leaves as an art project with my grandmother. I will have tons of heavy books I’ll be moving across the country…a perfect excuse to layer some Zinfandel, Cab, Chardonnay, etc leaves to feel a little more at...
