Now for the promised post on the Big Sur music festival Bren and I drove to last weekend. Big Sur is about 5 hours north of Los Angeles, one of the most beautiful, surreal drives I have ever done. Bren and I did this drive for our honeymoon too, so that only adds to the [...]
I made this earlier this week and it was really good, much better than I thought it would be. Recipe comes from Food and Wine. I splurged and bought italian canned tuna, preserved in oil, and I highly recommend doing the same. I can’t imagine this being as good with the regular watery kind. I [...]
Conversation between Bren and myself yesterday: B: “Did you go to the grocery store today?”A: “Yup.”B: “Did you get… oh nevermind.”A: “What?”B: “Nope, I already know the answer.”A: “What? How is that possible? There are literally hundreds of things I could have bought, and I haven’t said….”B: “When we get home, I’ll point at it [...]
I just wanted to mention that my friend Mandi, who I’ve known since my sophomore year in college, called me today just to say, “YOU LOOK HOT!” Isn’t that a good friend? Possibly the best?!! I guess Mandi has been reading the blog and just HAD to call and let me know how hot I [...]

Bren and I drove up to Big Sur on Saturday, for a small outdoor music/art festival organized by a woman he met at Burning Man last year. I will post more on that a little later — I have so much to do today! The building inspector is coming tomorrow so I have to clear [...]

She just got suspended for 2 months without pay, which to me, is the most ridiculously light [...]
If any of you have hung around Bren and I enough, you know that we were fat kids. And that fat kid mentality still runs our lives, eg. being unbelievably excited when we moved in that In’n’Out Burger is only 2 blocks from our place and subsequently hitting it about twice a week, running out [...]
The bugs continue to be attracted to the Sequeira-McNamara abode. First it was the ants. Now some their bigger, nastier cousins are following suite.
