oh my god, I just found my 2004 copy of “Catharsis”

-wes-

… And yes, it had a terribly emo name that probably came from a moment of blackness… one of many such moments, when you consider I was an asian girl with linebacker shoulders and a bad haircut at a school filled with girls whose life aspirations were to be on “The Hills,” or become Lakers girls. Hey, I heard they’re better dancers than Celtics girls…

For the last year or so, I’ve been in a Meetup group with the Urban Homesteader’s League. If you’re interested in DIY living, this is the group to be in. There are constantly emails with titles like “Edible Forest Gardening Workshop,” “Composting Workshop,” “Community Skillshare Day,” and “Movie Screening: Beyond Motor City.” Check out the group’s site here.

If you’re interested in these sort of things, or simply want to do a good thing today, consider donating a few bucks to the UHL Market Stand. My friend and the group organizer, Lisa Gross, will be holding skillsharing workshops at this space at the Union Square Farmer’s Market during the summer. She needs a little cash for supplies, though. If you donate, perks abound: heirloom seeds for container gardening, handmade journals, and organic bath products are just a few of the treats you can get for donating. Get in on this at Kickstarter.

Is Gatorade’s “war-room” style mission control room really effective at tracking social media about its brand? Mashable took a look inside. Perhaps corporations, not governments, are destined to become big brother. Even scarier - are operators from Gatorade, and by extension PepsiCo, reading this post right now??

Now here’s a food blog that fits my taste aesthetic. Simple with an emphasis on fresh ingredients - like the California cuisine “movement,” popularized by Jeremiah Tower and Alice Waters of Chez Panisse. Creating dishes like this one is more about putting the tastes together, rather than using a recipe.

I’m here to announce that my blog will be making the transition to more serious topics, including urban agriculture, nutrition, and small business trends.

To formalize this announcement, I have attached this important informational youtube video about the llama.

Lately, Urban gardening.

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:48:00 -0500

Lately, Urban gardening. :

When I was little, I had a great book about weird plants. Huge, graphic novel-esque illustrations and bizarre descriptions of the sensitive plant (it recoils upon being smacked), passionflower vines (flowers like UFOs) and the loofa plant (I don’t remember what it’s called, but you make loofas from the squash by drying it and shaking out the seeds) fueled my dreams of creating a garden of my own. Back then, I was more dreamer than doer, and I only got as far as buying passionflower seeds. But this summer, the urban gardening trend has caught me on its wave. I’ve started going to permaculture workshops and meeting people who also dream of growing ripe tomatoes, summer squash, blueberry bushes, and culinary herbs all in their apartment rooms or on top of their terrace or patio. I’ve started collecting all manner of trash in anticipation of starting seedlings indoors, to get a head start on the last frost date (around May 1st), the time to begin growing outside.

Last weekend I met up with some of them to talk gardening, and wrote about it for the Urban Homesteaders’ League blog: “The first meeting of UHL’s unconventional gardeners: Are we part of a trend, or a movement?”

“I learned a lot at the Unconventional Gardeners Workshop last Sunday, March 7th. One thing I learned was that we’re truly part of a trend — or a budding movement. Twelve people showed up, enough to surround a table piled with food on the patio of Hi Rise Cafe. Not one of us had gardened for more than a year…” [read on]
