  • Learn how to crack a whip (literally) #55

    Posted on November 7, 2012 by KK in 100 things, Berkeley, random.

    A couple of weeks ago, Dan told me that we were going on a date on a weekend morning, which I completely assumed was code for ‘we’re trying a new brunch place.’ But instead, we walked down to our local park, where we met up with Charles. Dan had arranged for him to meet us […]

  • Things I learned from my parents, part 3

    Posted on November 5, 2012 by KK in 100 things, family, growing up, lists.

    And we come to the final round. Some of these are pretty self explanatory bits of advice, and some of these are more broad sweeping values, both equally as important. 21. Proper grocery list writing.  Obviously, the correct way to write your grocery list is to write the items down in the order you will […]

  • Things I have learned from my parents, part 2

    Posted on November 3, 2012 by KK in 100 things, family, growing up, lists.

    I know the idea isn’t to focus on me for my birthday, but I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who called/texted/facebooked/sent a card/came to dinner for my birthday. I took the day off of work and basically felt loved the entire day, which is really something you should do for a […]

  • Things I have learned from my parents, part 1.

    Posted on November 1, 2012 by KK in 100 things, family, growing up, lists.

    It’s my birthday. I’m 30. I thought that this year, instead of focusing on me, I could do something nice for my parents, since they raised me, taught me life skills and values, gave me a foundation of the life I have today and lots of other nice things.  Hopefully they know that I appreciate […]

  • I need to talk.

    Posted on July 24, 2012 by KK in random.

    So, I read The Hunger Games trilogy. I feel like I need to talk to someone to process what happened. That…was a lot. I know that I’ll be going back to re-read them again, I read them so quickly. (I read Catching Fire and Mockingjay both on Saturday). I just…got involved. {It feels like when […]

  • I have famous friends

    Posted on July 20, 2012 by KK in friends.

    So my friend Rosa is a yoga teacher who lives in Harlem. And last week, someone came to her class and then wrote about it, because she is awesome. You should read it. In the article, she’s referred to as CJ, which is apparently her New York name. Sort of like her superhero name, but […]

  • In which I am apparently full of questions

    Posted on July 18, 2012 by KK in random, update.

    I am typing this message to you on my fixed-like-nothing-ever-happened-computer. Everyone tell Dan he’s very handsome and very good at math today. I know that many of you are not impressed by replacing a hard drive and whatnot, but I do not have the desire to learn how to do so, or the patience to […]

  • Bake 3 new kinds of cookies (#34)

    Posted on July 17, 2012 by KK in 100 things, food, lists.

    I know how disappointed you are that you came to the blog and there is not part 4 of the 2-months-late-new-orleans-photo-essay. This is mostly because I have no more photos. For Valentines Day this year, Dan bought me a new computer (awwwwwww). Then last week in the middle of looking up a recipe online, I […]

  • Chapter Three: Mardi Gras World

    Posted on July 7, 2012 by KK in 100 things, travel.

    So, after JazzFest was over, we had a couple of extra days to wander around New Orleans and one day we decided to visit the supremely touristy experience that is Mardi Gras World. It’s basically a tour run by the company that is responsible for creating the floats for 45 of the 50+ Mardi Gras […]
