Ideas?

Tuesday, December 18, 2007

I'm thinking of branching out in terms of my blogging. I would like to have a secondary blog in which I focus on one particular thing. I have a mental picture of what that would be, but I am not completely clear. Here are some of the things I've thought of.

1. A Blog about living life at the edge of gentrification in DC. (as in, I am a Black person who is in some ways a part of the gentrification process, but also not a part of it...)

2. A Blog about living in DC (generic, point me in a better direction please)

3. A Blog on my creative process

4. A Blog on fashion.

5. A Blog on self renewal (my current processes)... eh. nevermind too personal

Thats about it... if you have any more suggestions let me know. I'd like to focus this blog a little more. If I go on viewer responses alone, I tend to get more comments on the psycho-social rants about my inner life and the politics of it... which I respect, but can be a little draining. In either case, maybe I should focus one blog... here there or anywhere on that subject alone too.

Hmm... maybe I'm on to something.

. . . . . . Mac and Cheese

Monday, December 10, 2007

I just made the richest (and most expensive) mac and cheese ever. I had this old expensive cheese in my fridge from once upon a time when i had money and decided that there are only so many melba toasts and cranberry chutney for me to try to eat it all so I put much of it in a mac and cheese. (I still have some left... insane eh?)

Well it's delicious... but too delicious... rich. My head hurts now... I'm sure I can't even smell it now or I will faint.

I'm sure this is a metaphor for something life or love or something. Something rich and wonderful and sickening at the same time.

Truth is. Mac and cheese is best with some extra sharp cracker barrel, and at the most some asagio. Do we really need brie and a 10 dollar per ounce soft cheese that will remain nameless? No. Some things call for simplicity. Pairing down...

Just $3 a brick. At most.
