On Words
Words and I, as you might have guessed, hold a pretty special relationship.
This is interesting, as I learned to read a little late (middle of 2nd grade) compared to a lot of my friends. Once you got me going, though, I couldn’t stop. I wrote in journals. I read voraciously (once, when I was 8, my dad tried to punish me by telling me that I could only read if it was for school. I was...

On a Twentysomething Night In
So, I know, it’s been a long bit of time since I’ve written. A quick and dirty update on my life and why it’s been so nuts lately: 1) I recently moved from the rack stockkeeping department (warehouse) of my job to the Export department (office). While I miss the people in my old position, this has been awesome for a number of reasons.
The other supervisor, who is very cool,...

New Year's
From @USCedu Professor Dana Gioia
New Year’s
By Dana Gioia
Let other mornings honor the miraculous. Eternity has festivals enough. This is the feast of our mortality, The most mundane and human holiday. On other days we misinterpret time, Pretending that we live the present moment. But can this blur, this smudgy in-between, This tiny fissure where the future drips Into the past,...

“What truth? You see where truth is and where untruth is, but I seem to have lost my sight and see nothing. You boldly settle all important questions, but tell me, dear, isn’t it because you’re young? Because you haven’t had time to suffer until you settled a single one of your questions? You boldly look forward… Isn’t it because you cannot foresee or expect anything...

One Hell of a Year
Last March, I half-jokingly checked my horoscope for the remainder of 2011. While I will occasionally pull up cheesy online horoscopes for me, my friends, or…other people in my life (just wait for THAT blog post), I rarely put stock into it. Yes, I will admit that I hold a number of the “Libra” traits that are associated with my birthday, but I’m more amused than anything...

Conversations with the Torres Kids
Christina: ...Do you say "EN-velope" or "AHN-velope"?
Paco: "AHN-velope." You?
Christina: Same.
Paco: It's because I'm in a constant state of ennui.
Christina: You need an ingenue to pull you out of your ennui.
Paco: ...I totally need an ingenue. ...Nice.
Mom: You guys really are weird.

The fabulous people at The SF Marathon let me retool a post I originally did here for their site (this version is better!). When I first put up this post, I was overwhelmed and honored with the response I got from others who deal with what I do and appreciated someone voicing that. It made me feel a little less alone. I hope this does the same for someone else, and inspires them to try and wrestle...
