Bren is obsessed with this restaurant/gastropub here called Father’s Office. They make the hands-down best burger I have ever had in my life. Thankfully, they’re in Santa Monica, so it’s just enough of a drive that we don’t go that often. Imagine the McSequeira-fatkid joy/dismay that the second Father’s Office location is opening walking distance [...]

My friend and CLASSMATE (yaaarrrrr!) Keven humoured me yesterday as I pondered, rather geekily, the difference between “infuse” and “suffuse”. Today, I looked it up on the Merriam Webster site, and I’m not sure I am happy with the definition: Infuse: implies a pouring in of something that gives new life or significance (eg. new [...]

Y’all know that I am very by-the-book. I don’t like to stray from the page too much. I mean, what if you stray from the page and make an ugly mess? What a waste of resources and time, and oh Lordy, what if the mess is too messy to clean up?! Ah, but things are [...]

I wonder if St. Patrick ever thought that his memory would be celebrated by imbibing vast quantities of whiskey and beer, and stuffing your face with eggs, bacon and blood sausage. Somehow, I doubt it. Nevertheless, we celebrated his memory this year as we always do — by hanging out with Bren’s Uncle Dan at [...]

Since I’m at work with a fast connection, I thought I’d try to post some of Kuv’s photos from our Aunty Angela’s 25th wedding anniversary celebration while we were in India. Mum and Dad: Mum, her sister Ruth and Dad: Me and Bren being spiffy: Kuv, me, Bren: Bren looking serious with some of the [...]

Excited to see this documentary about Kurt Cobain. CAN’T WAIT. Looks really innovative… some bits remind me of a Michel Gondry film. Did anyone see this when it came out? I think you can rent it. Now if only I could remember our Netflix login. Hmmmmm… -x-aarti

Yesterday, I had class in the evening. Usually, I leave something for Bren’s dinner, but yesterday, I ran out of time. There weren’t any leftovers either. So I made sure to warn him. A: “Baba, tonight, you’ll have to order dinner or something ‘cos there’s nothing prepped for you to eat.” B: “Oh yeah, I [...]

There is nothing like a thick slice of goooood banana bread. Toasted. With a cup of tea. Especially when transformed from the mushy, black bananas that were doing nothing better than hanging in your fruit basket, attracting those tiny little lowlife fruit flies. From ugly black caterpillar to sweet, chewy um, butterfly! Hmm, let me [...]

A mantra I am trying to repeat to myself today: “I have everything in the world that is necessary to happiness, good faith, good friends and all the work I can possibly do.” — Anna Howard Shaw -x-aarti
