I am seriously loving Garry's new neighborhood because he lives, quite literally, 2 blocks from almost everything. Tartine, Pizzeria Delfina, Bi-Rite, Yamo, Urbun Burger... we'll never go hungry in this part of town.

I guess I should pay more attention to the random forwards my mom sends me, because everyonce in a while it turns out to be pretty awesome.

As recently as this past spring, the La Habra Ranch Market was a bustling local market, full of people jamming tiny carts past each other in their eagerness to trade their hard-earned money for a cornucopia of fresh, beautiful fruits and veggies.

A white elephant gift exchange is probably the only situation in which re-gifting is appropriate and/or encouraged. I'm involved in at least two of them this year; today I actually went and spent $ buying a new one because it didn't occur to me that I could find something relatively nice, if useless to me, gift lying around my apartment.

I love Advent calendars even though mine has no mention whatsoever of the birth of Jesus or the "reason for the season" as they say. Every day I pop open a window and have some delicious milk chocolate courtesy of Trader Joe's. Hooray.

Having gorged on Wendy's pre-Thanksgiving feast the week before, and already eaten turkey leftovers all of that week, I was glad my parents kept it simple on Thanksgiving Day. We just had some family over for Burmese curry chicken rice. Yum.

Behold. A double-decker pancake? Mexican pastries? Some kind of odd flatbread? Oh no, friends. What you see here is my first and miserably failed attempt at making angel food cake. I only embarked on this strange journey because I happened to have 10 egg whites left over after I made my glorious homemade eggnog for Wendy's pre-Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday.

My friend Lily forwarded me this clip of Lady Gaga performing 'Captivated' and 'Electric Kiss,' two rather lowkey original songs she wrote and performed for a student audience at NYU. This should answer any question her naysayers may have regarding her incredible talent.
