LaSuperRica
ANYWAY - I explored Ventura & Santa Barbara this past weekend - with 1 main mission: eat a taco at the tacqueria that Julia Childs was psychotic* about. And so, of course, I did.
Diptych of meal. (please note, i wasn't that hungry - I was thirsty...
*not really, but it sounds kind of funny to say julia is psychotic about tacos. :)
webpresence
isn't it funny how you meet a bunch of new people and then after you say goodbye, you go and all connect online?
so in essence - you meet people physically, and then you meet them virtually.
makes me wonder if my online presence conveys who i am. in a way, it does. and then in another way, its so so so so so so terribly off.

Seaofdreams NYE2011
last night i walked right into a 100 dollar burning man party. the warehouse took up an entire block in SoMa. It was apparently the place to be. Again, I just walked in the backdoor.
On the main dancefloor, even though everyone was covered in green glowing dots, i'd rather be at home with my dog.
I tried to let go of my spirit, and just float through the crowd, but everyone kept getting in my way.
I feel the same way about the burning man crowd - as i did about my first time to SoHo in 1998: Why is everybody dressed the same?
2010 things of note:

cumberland
(picture of sunrise on my way to work this morning) 
when i was on my 2000 cross country road trip with the great Taryn McFaryn, I fell in love with a little town called Cumberland - in Maryland.
today NPR featured a band from that town in one of their segments - here.
my favorite part is where the girl explains cumberland - its exactly how I explain it - you are driving up HWY68, round a bend, and then the speed limit changes to 40mph, forcing you to slow and check out this little piece of Americana, in the bowl of a couple of hills. its a gorgeous little town. church steeples, main street, & you can see where it starts & ends. pefection.
other towns that fit that bill (for me):
prineville, oregon (where my family farm is) & nicasio (where i am going to get married or have my 40th birthday party. whichever comes first.)

giftguides
(pablofranco image)maybe i've fine-tuned my rss feed so well, that this holiday season i'm only getting gift guides directed toward my demographic - FEMALE PHOTOGRAPHER WHO LIKES FOOD & DESIGN, or maybe everyone this year is a female photographer who likes food & design??
photojojo - check out the iphone adapters!
pintrest - omg that polaroid is a scream.

flaming absinthe seems to be all the rage this holiday season.

terraincopying
i got all copy-cat this weekend, and decorated my little apartment for free. i copied terrain (new fave online shop) and made my own garland. i even made a wreath for my party hosts on saturday. whoot.
compost cookie
i am the person who has over 200 blogs & what-nots on google reader. so, a better part of my morning is coffee + google reader + forwarding links to my friends. if you are my friend, you most likely receive 2/3 links per week. i'm a human link dispenser. i see a post, and think about you, and send you the link. its a love thing.
SO. i read this article about momofuku compost cookie & send the link to my foodie co-workers.
we decided to splurge and treat ourselves & order the tin of cookies! it was 22 dollars!!!!!!!!! OMG. we still did it. its from new york & is all fancy.
END RESULT - we each got 2 cookies. I love the coffee bits in the cookie. I wanted more potato chip! And I loved hitting the pretzel in the middle.
I need milk!

non attendance events
(how cool is this?)there is a part of me that wants to travel to miami basel and experience that SOME DAY.
and then there is a part of me that just wants to look at the slideshows and live vicariously through the people that are already there.
i feel the same way about burning man.
