Nope its not your imagination, most gossip blogs are horribly misogynistic.

Book- I wish. I only have time for magazines it seems. Wired, Scientific American Mind, Business Week.

Song- Girl Talk (but cripes, who cares about cuss words? i wish i could get a version with the mysogyny bleeped out.)

Freqently Worn- long, flowy sundress to my ankles

Perfume- Sonoma Scent Studio Vintage Rose

Make up- my own moisturizer/100+spf sunscreen/ foundation mix

food- caramel rice cakes

drink- water to wash down said rice cakes.

Guilty Pleasure- Again, magazines: New York, W, Lucky. the gossip sites make me feel bad about myself (guilty) or like i need to take a shower.

Bane of my existence- the need for sleep.

Anticipation- my 2nd month of business.(after a relatively successful 1st month)

Wishlist- related to my Anticipation, above.

Thought- Joy of Less essay in NYT.

G,

I've been eating a lot of roasted cauliflower too, how are you adding in the quinoa? Sounds dee-lish!

Jenavira, it looks like sometimes they confuse snark with pure hatred and malice. I enjoy juicy gossip, but it's getting hard to take.

Tom, pleasant is overrated ;)
(or that's what I've been telling my crochety self)

Gaia, the non-blonde said...

Dea, caramel rice cakes? I'm in deep trouble now...
(and, yes, I love both, of course. Desperately wanted some backup for my stash, so thank you :) )

Trish, I just make the quinoa in the rice cooker, using my own veggie broth instead of water. When both cauliflower and quinoa I just put them together with some roasted cashews.
