I went out to water the garden tonight and saw my first little baby radish of the season had pushed itself up out of the ground and was calling to me. So I ate it- yummy and spicy. I wasn’t even sure that I liked radishes until that exact moment. I loves it!

What I am listening to today:
L7 Bricks Are Heavy. I bought it this weekend because it was one of my favorite cds when I was a kid and it was just sitting on the shelf calling out to me.
Masters of Turkish Music- a compilation of old recordings from the early 1900s.
This unique collection presents the giants of Ottoman court music, Anatolian folk music and urban entertainment music in Turkey during the first half of this century. Today’s singers and instrumentalists still find inspiration in the precision, grace and improvisational skills demonstrated in these original 78 RPM recordings.

My iPhone is iBroken.
If you need me- you can try to call- but usually it just ignores you or won’t let me answer. Leave me a message and I will try to iSweet_Talk the phone into giving it to me. Otherwise- call James or email me.

I had really high expectations these cherries- Karen at work keeps bringing in these amazing cherries (I think from Whole Foods) and I just can’t stop eating them. So when I went to Giant the other day and I saw these I spent at least $12 on my expectation of how perfect they would be and I was wrong. I still have another bag I’m going to eat- but I think it should only be another week or so until Mom’s cherry tree is ready for me to pick!

The rest of my seeds soaking waiting to be put into the ground today or tomorrow or the next day. I’ve got about half the garden planted- but I really need to get the rest of the seeds into the ground.
Total Whiskey Tango 29 May 2008
Can you see the black eye my husband gave me at my sister’s wedding?
Ok- it wasn’t black yet. Right there it was about a 30 second old welt- but it TURNED into my first black eye ever.
I had my camera around my neck and wanted James to take a photo of me and my two wonderful pina colada drinks. I asked him to grab the camera and when he pulled it over my head by the strap the body of the camera swung back and hit me on the cheek. I was standing with 4 people and no one noticed that all of a sudden I had teary eyes and now I was icing my cheek with my cold drink. I had a big welt really quickly and I TOLD them it would make a black eye.. and it sorta did.
Black eye on the other side now because I took this in the mirror after a day in the sun- which is why my hair looks so awesome!

Let the calculus flow through you… 14 May 2008
As we speak, Papa’s taking his calculus final exam. Calculus has ruled our lives for the past few months and we will be happy to say goodbye to it… until the fall.
Beers tonight in honor of all the ‘discoverers’ of calculus. Thanks, no really.
Audience Participation 12 May 2008
I’ve never been on a cruise. I’m beginning packing tonight. It is 7 days to Montego Bay, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman.
What are the essentials- I mean- besides the obvious bathing suit, flip flops, hand sanitizer, cipro?
What are the cruise specific things I might forget that I should put on my packing list?
Happy Birthday, Jess Tall! 12 May 2008
Remember the best thing about Franny’s wedding?

My new parking garage makes me a little nervous- I think any garage that has the see thorough walls instead of the concrete ones are a little scary. This one has a better view of the city.

Working and watching ANTM.

My mother’s cheekbones and my father’s nose.
Also, my mother’s bad eyes and my father’s bad teeth… my mother’s self-reliance and my father’s temper.

Jew Bling?
Towson, Maryland

05 May 2008
I ran into an old friend and he was happy to show off his jew-bling. I have no idea what the back story is- but I enjoyed documenting it. He helped me pick out some material at JoAnn Fabrics and cursed at me for remember that it was his birthday this week. Happy birthday, old man!
I have a few photos of this guy circa 1993? Wow. I need to dig them up and share them with the world!
Then I ran to the grocery store for essentials- and realized the international nature of my essentials: pita, chorizo, jerk bbq, hot italian giardiniera, chipotle salsa and the very American V-8 and Cheez-its.
More Smushy Faces. 6 May 2008
In her defense, I told her to make a mad face- but she couldn’t stop smiling!
What’s that face? I don’t know!
Swiss Family Perfect. 6 May 2008
Put your face way up close to the screen and just look at the adorable that is this little boy. His sister and mom are pretty cute, too- but pay no attention to his crazy looking papa!
The funniest thing ever is that stage when kids sorta figure out what they are supposed to do in front of the camera but they don’t quite figure out exactly what type of face to make- so you end up with these scrunchy faces that make you melt.
Since we were outside- I didn’t want to turn the flash on but it was getting dark and my settings weren’t quite fast enough to keep the photo from blurring. His eyes are in focus though- and I love his mug here.
I played with the photoshop blurring to try to make the background a little less obvious.

Be Jealous- It’s okay. 2 May 2008
Guess the awesomeness I saw tonight?
Live in the movie theater.
On Thursday, May 1st acclaimed radio and television host Ira Glass will bring the wildly popular show This American Life to the big screen for a one-night only event. Glass debuts never-before-seen extraordinary, funny and true stories from everyday life, shows outtakes, and answers audience questions. This exclusive theatre event will be broadcast LIVE from New York via satellite to select movie theatres nationwide.
This one-night event features special guests and is presented in HD and Cinema Surround Sound.
It was so much fun- we loved it. It was a great two hours- and really fun to think that there were 300 theaters around the country watching the same thing. I wish movie theaters did more things like this- random broadcasts of live events.
Sheeba has left the building… 27 April 2008
Sheeba-dog, the first dog I ever really loved, has gone to the great doggie pet rest area in the sky this afternoon. She was the best friend Jenny and Thomas ever had and a total lover.
My favorite thing when I came to visit was giving her ice cubes- she knew the sound of the ice grinder in the fridge so well that when anyone went to the freezer to get ice she came running and asked nicely for one. And she totally was my cuddle dog at night when I came to visit- up until my last visit she always snuggled in bed with me.
And she LOVED to dress up for Halloween, just like Jenny and Thomas!
Jen and Thomas, in happier days…. Hopefully this is what the big doggie pet rest area in heaven looks like for Sheeba!
Doggie photos, as requested 25 April 2008
We took the hounds to the park this weekend and I took these photos with the iphone. His flat little butt is almost cute enough to send to Cute Overload.
And on the way to the park, Huck was insane to get his head out the window and as soon as he did, he howled his way through East Baltimore. Thoroughly embarrassing!
