So, You Want to Work In The Arts?: The Interview
Just as with any job, the interview for a job at a gallery is perhaps one of the most nerve-wrecking experiences an art-world hopeful can go through. As someone who has interviewed my fair share of prospective employees and interns, I can offer a bit of insight to prepare for your first step. Now, most […]

Valentine’s DIY: Bookmarks from Inchmark
Over at the Inchmark Journal blog, Brooke posted a truly fantastic do-it-yourself Valentine’s gift: bookmarks! I find it oddly romantic to make one of these and tuck it into a vintage copy of your favorite novel, tie it up in craft paper and baker’s string, and gift it to your BFF/BF/GF/Mom/Cute Coffee Shop Guy. Random […]
Valentine’s Day for the Bookish
Whether you are celebrating with your sweetheart, or cooking a romantic dinner for one, here are a few books to complement your celebration of Cupid and his arrow. Ah, love. Whether you are in or you are out, there is always room on your bookshelf for a solid romance. And I don’t mean a bodice-ripping, […]
Oh, So This Is Snow
The Northeast is currently under a wall of white. As much as I can’t stand the cold and snow, there is something to be said for the calm, blissful evenings that a snow storm brings. It’s a perfect excuse to warm up some cocoa (maybe with a little Dr. McGillicuddy on call…), turn up the […]

I Read, You Read, E-Read
I’ve recently taken to the Kindle app on my iPad. I think it’s mostly due to the fact that we’ve driven into New York City several times in the past week, and I need something to help me keep a grip on reality on to not fall into a state of paralyzingly epic fear and […]
This is my mantra. I keep repeating it to myself throughout the day. Every time things get a bit too overwhelming, or times get a little too uncertain, or it seems as though everything is going SOME way but that way is certainly not YOUR way… it helps to remember that it all has a […]
“I used to like your writing.”
When I woke up this morning, I was greeted by an email every blogger likes to receive: “You have 1 comment pending.” I skipped on over to the blog and took a look at my 1 comment. It was from someone calling themself Luke, a disembodied being out in the Nothingness. His comment began with […]
