12 minutes and counting

It’s blog-mania! Ok, not at all really. I tried in Austin to post something detailing my feeling of being completely in love with the place, but apparently it didn’t post! Mercury is in retrograde. Now I’m in my favorite coffeeshop in Brooklyn, as the wireless is down in our house, trying to be brilliant on the spot as they close in 12 minutes - a good writing exercise, not necessarily great reading.
Um, shit, just got reminder from the friendly barista…ok, uh…my latest discoveries in list form:
1) I couldn’t get enough of Austin - just couldn’t, so I may be moving there…
2) Great combo: Acorn squash, green beans, chickpeas, spices, raisins - saute the chick peas in olive oil and spices, add steamed acorn squash, green beans, raisins, some water, a lid, steam those puppies = yum.
3) Carina Round - you Brits know her, and now I do too! Yanks - check her out - she is the bomb! www.myspace.com/carinaround Carina and I are working on various schemes together.
4) Girl next to me at coffeeshop is singing harmony (loudly!) to Jack Johnson album.
5) Promise to start earlier in the day next time -big love, and apparently I’ll be on the west coast, midwest, northeast and UK/Ireland this spring, so hope to lots of you!
xxoo

F’ing hilarious blog post, Jess. Great stuff. Forget starting earlier — keep writing under the gun.
Looking forward to your West Coast jaunt …
