*resurfaces* Whoa. Hi Guys! Saw this on 365 Letters, and thought it was really touching. Wish my family wrote letters like that, but I suppose I will have to make due with becoming Auntie Anne myself! And I have a new postcard up at The Orphaned Postcard Project! I also came across this article that […]
Four for family members (Ouch. Kind of sucks in a way to have my sister home…) Three for people I know from growing up here, studying in India, through other friends. Seven for Send Something. I meant to do more there. Twelve for Postcrossing. Clearly I’m a convert (and it’s a good home-from-work-at-midnight sort of […]

Holy 60 Hour Work Weeks Batman! Seriously, it’s been ages. I’ve been feeling the lack! I started a new job as a paralegal at the NYC office of an international law firm in May, after months and months of disheartening unemployment. Being a paralegal (or legal assistant. Take your pick of job titles.) seems like one […]
Some pictures of stuff I’ve been up to this month. I think I tend to be on the minimalist side of mail art—I really like finding a strong image and letting it speak for itself on an envelope. The tiger image I sent off to Becky Snailmailer is probably my favorite! She sends me such […]

I was on a roll this month! I don’t know what it is, but the last week or so I’ve just felt really excited to write ALL THE TIME. It must be a combination of Spring energy and the book I’m reading, with the result that I sometimes sent out two bits of mail in […]
Hi! Has anyone seen these? The Case for Cursive and Do You Write in Cursive? (The Learning Network blog at The NY Times) I thought the first article, which I flipped to by chance when I was leafing through the paper last night, was pretty cool. I hadn’t really considered before the loss of fine […]
Yeeesh. Can I please crawl back into my academic cave? I had another interview at a law firm yesterday and then spent all of last night reading workplace reviews of various firms and non-profit organizations, trying to wrap my head around what actually working means for my life. What I found was for the most […]
My current book is a real treat, containing as it does almost a whole (fictional) 19th century correspondence between two poets and dynamic thinkers—hidden, of course, under the dolls’ bed in a dusty abandoned room in a musty grand old house where one of the two lived out her days in seclusion and was laid […]
