. . . August . . . is hot.
August is always the same. 90+ degrees of wet heat. It's hard to eat, but once you start eating, you're ravenous. I've been living on cucumber gazpacho from a recipe I learned at Veggie Fest by my chef idol, Louise Hagler. It's yummy. I will provide the recipe soon.
August is the season when I think all women want to cut their hair off. Probably because it is so hot. In this weather, the split ends get worse and there is tons of frizz. I am resisting haircuts because my hair doesn't ...

Reasons I'm going vegan
I've decided to stop eating fish, eggs, and dairy . . . possibly forever.

No chicks allowed, or eggs. Kiki will remain a consumer of raw chicken's flesh.
Piggies!!!

Things I forgot to mention.
I am working on a guitar lesson book that will be called I Love Music Theory Method For Guitar along with everything else, like my album Dream of Flight (I swear it's almost done)
The method book is full of my silly drawings, like this one

Boredom + Tai Chi = The Last Airbender
Disclaimer: I love movies. Even bad ones. I love going to movies and eating the popcorn. Life is good.
Who knew a movie about the magical powers of air could be so dull and heavy? Kicking off in a speculative Arctic future where humanity has devolved itself into four tribal factions based on the elements, Last Airbender quickly morphs into the over-budgeted Star Trek episode should have never become. Two white kids (who are somehow Eskimos) trying to hunt a baby seal uncover a giant...

Tagged
I've been tagged like a baby seal loping across an interstitial muffin of concrete in the over-sized refrigerator of glass and steel that I call my home in the Lincoln Park Zoo . . .
And so have you.
Rules:
1. Respond and rework: Answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, add one more question of your own.
2. Tag eight other people.
What is your current obsession? Plastic. It makes me angry and sad that almost everything is...
