Sometimes you just have to wait.

Posted in muttering, tagged , , on July 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

As I gain confidence and physical strength on the bike, weaving through traffic and exploring different neighborhoods, I see the city differently and try to accommodate the rhythms of movement and stillness. I.e. not piss off too many drivers or pedestrians and also not get myself killed in Sullivan Square. My advice, that no one [...]

On the counter this morning

Posted in muttering on July 15, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Lots of flour. I’m working on my first ‘San Francisco’ Sourdough, a multiple day project. The sourdough is growing growing growing- shipping some off to St Louis tomorrow, but if anyone else wants any please comment! In other news: I biked to North Station from my house in Somerville in 24 minutes this morning! And [...]

Hello friends. It’s very hot and I’m going to go find air-conditioning now. Although I haven’t been blogging too much, I think of you often. How are you? Please keep me informed. Love, Emily. P.S. if I had a book club for adults would you be in it?

I am not my things- Adios, Auto

Posted in lost, muttering, tagged on July 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I am now free from the bonds of car ownership! Thank you, blue car, for your months of service- but some people are just not meant to own cars. I’m focusing on being a better biker and also divesting of even more possessions since I’m moving at the end of the summer. Again. Move #16ish. [...]

This Week’s Forecast

Posted in muttering, tagged , , , , on June 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

“1. How can I get closer to making my job and my vocation be the same thing? 2. What am I doing to become an even more robust and confident version of myself?” The boyfriend is very practical and pragmatic. He also instructed me the other week to subscribe to my freewill astrology so he [...]

Attention and Judgment

Posted in muttering, tagged on June 24, 2010 | 3 Comments »

When the student is ready the teacher will appear. This is one of my favorite Buddhist sayings. I think it when I’m having an unpleasant reaction to a patron or when the boyfriend does or says something unexpected. I’m learning so much! The phrase comforts me because I think I can go into each situation [...]

Checking in on New Year’s Resolutions

Posted in muttering, tagged on June 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

So, two days ago I was reading my resolutions and thought: These were written by a completely different person. Yesterday I wrote some new resolutions. When I reread them this morning I thought Who the hell wrote these? The mind is a changeable creature. Thoughts! Who needs them?

cheer up!

Ack, I’ve been very Eeyore lately. It is a defense mechanism. Everything is so wonderful for me right now- I can’t even begin to count my blessings and instead am pretending that every thing is bad and difficult so I won’t be struck by a lightning bolt or a city bus. Does that work? This [...]

Sullivan Station- Punishing you for using it.

Posted in muttering, tagged , , , , on May 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Why is it so bad? How can the design suck this much and still exist in a seemingly enlightened society? Really makes you want to just ride a bike into Boston traffic. Instead of waiting like an unloved peasant.

Boil Water Alert!

Posted in muttering on May 2, 2010 | 6 Comments »

Caper and I, having ingested pond water from the sink (not our first, certainly, but somehow pond water from a pond is less sinister) are now lying on the couch awaiting intestinal upset. Just to keep you posted. Also my landlady gave me a ceramic bowl full of four kinds of fancy cheese that I’m [...]
