  • Deadline

    I am considering canceling a happy hour tonight so I can watch this. I will serve wine for those party people who care to join me this Friday night. Edited to add: For anyone interested but not interested enough to sign up for free at New York Times, here is the official site for the…

  • Mihow's Top Ten Reasons For Disliking Life On the West Coast

    Well, we’re supposed to be on vacation now in Rhode Island with Nico and George. Currently, I am choosing to ignore this fact. We are just too far away to get there in the amount of time we have (or had) off from work. And that sucks. For the past two years we’ve gone on…

  • Conversations from the Crepe Place: Proof that if I'm homesick I can be the biggest bitch.

    Saturday was rough. I mentioned as much. Sunday was brighter in my head, but not outside. Today, I feel refreshed and ready to embrace. Partially because Missy is coming to visit me on Friday, partially because I went to yoga three times last week, and partially because being so damn depressed all the time really…

  • Morphine

    Lately, I have been missing New York, well, the east coast in general. So much so, I think about it nearly every waking moment of my day. I’m not sure what it is, or why it is, but it just is. It feels like someone yanked the plug and let the water out. My head…

  • Mind the Heart.

    (Also, mind the longest post ever written). I sat at the bar waiting for Toby, sipping a beer and reading my book. While I’m not usually drawn to the bar at a restaurant, I found myself sitting there. For me, a very intricate (sometimes unconscious) desired seating arrangement is put into place while out to…

  • Sir Canon III

    Almost four years ago, born unto me was a Canon Digital Elph capable of 2 megapixels. I loved it. I used it every day while commuting to and from work in New York City. The Elph was perfect for what I wanted to accomplish which was a daily view of my commute. In order to…

  • The Contents Of Mihow: An Autobiography of songs (Version 2.0)

    I had just moved to New York City all by my big self. I got an apartment in Brooklyn. I worked for a crazy lesbian woman at a design studio in Mid-town, a block from Penn Station. I didn’t fit in. But that had nothing to do with my sexual orientation. I didn’t like going…

  • Firefly Snowglobe

    I think I’m still in a bit of shock about my living here. See, I have it in my head that when most people move a distance of nearly 3,000 miles there’s time to let it register, toss it around on one’s tongue for a bit, see how it sounds spoken. (San Francisco). We didn’t…

  • My Voice: It's What's for Dinner.

    Soung and David are here this weekend. And last night Toby and I went met up with them to play some pool and get some eats. I have developed a really bad habit since moving to San Francisco. My older brother’s wife gave us a Zagat guide at our wedding party (as part of one…

  • 10 cities and from coast to coast in 4.5 days.

    Finally, I have some time to update. We arrived on Wednesday at around 12:30 p.m. It took us 4.5 days to get here. Each day I drove around 9 to 10 hours. On the second to the last day we drove from Glenwood Springs, Colorado, all the way to Reno, Nevada. That trip took us…
