Western Spaghetti - Fake Food Rules!!

I'm doing an Ignite Tucson presentation this Thursday, July 31st on "Why I Feel Nurtured by Fake Food." I decided to do some online research to see what interesting things I could find and I came across this awesome stop-motion animation. I am in love with it!! It may take a little while to load but it's worth it!!



If you live in Tucson, I hope you can make it this Thursday. Go to the link above for more info.

Trees are People Too

I love these art installations! I found them at this site through the Wooster Collective site (sent to me by Alanna).

Santa Cruz - go Slugs!

Santa Cruz is my heart home. I loved going to college in the middle of the woods overlooking the ocean. Prasenjit had never been so we spent a few days there last week enjoying the weather and spontaneously hanging out with my cousin, who I hadn't seen in 15 years!

Ice cream sandwiches from Day's Market on Seabright Ave.
I remember buying these as a special treat. If we had known they now cost $3.88 each, we may have passed!


I was glad to see UCSC is still a hotbed of activism!

Fresh figs from my cousin Eric's garden


Me and Eric and Avery


We went tide pooling at Natural Bridges state beach.


And finally, Matthew, the pot-bellied pig (Avery and Matthew are pets of Eric's friend Renee). We fed Matthew grapes and carrots, which was a little scary but fun.
