    • The magazines I read (Hint: It's not Playgirl [anymore])

      • ReadyMade
        I'm the worlds worst crafter - I can't cut anything in a straight line, I can't measure anything correctly, I have a low patience where if something doesn't look perfect I throw down whatever I'm working on and walk away. And yet I totally love this magazine.

        I heard they moved the magazine from Berkeley, CA to Iowa, thereby instantly losing it's hip credo. RIP, ReadyMade.


        Hyphen
        Hyphen Magazine is a non-profit Asian American magazine. It's an artsy high-brow magazine about cultural and activist issues which I never, EVER read, even though I'm a regular subscriber. But it makes me feel like I'm supporting the Asian community. That makes me a shitty Asian, doesn't it?


        Real Simple
        Because I'm apparently a 40 year old woman. I don't subscribe to this magazine, so I secretly hide the mag behind a Wired to read this behind a Barnes & Noble. (That's right! When I was 16 it would have been a Playgirl, and now it's a Real Simple. God, I'm beyond lame.)

    • Stressito, sometimes you are my only friend

      • chorizo

        It seriously does not help that Cancun Taqueria in the Mission - one of the best burrito places in the Bay Area - is less than a block from my house.

        If I've had a fairly terrible day, I have been known for getting a super carnitas burrito and then bring it to my neighbor Laurie's, slowly rocking back and forth while I talk about how terrible my day was.

        We call them "stressitos." Stressitos are delicious with extra avacado and sour cream, I'm just saying.

    • I recommend checking out The world's busiest intersection in Shibuya when you're in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan

      • So there's this intersection in Shibuya which is a six way intersection. And then when the light goes green, there are approximately 45 seconds of people walking EVERYWHERE. Walking through, walking around. There's a Starbucks on the second floor of one of the corners, and I pretty much chilled in the window and people watched for an hour and a half while all the salary men and cosplayers and housewives and teenage girls and drunk Brits were on their way doing whatever.

        Pretty awesome.
