Stuff about Me

I grew up in Rockville, MD, went to Bryn Mawr College (class of ‘06), and am currently living in Waltham, MA with my delightful boyfriend and a large number of houseplants. I am in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Simmons College, and am working in a local university library.

The impetus for this blog was my joining the “Riot for Austerity” (see blogroll and sidebar), a group dedicated to radically reducing their environmental impact.  I am also joining a rotating list of challenges of smaller scope and length which I may or may not get around to posting on the sidebar.  Because hey, challenges are fun and community-building.

This blog is rapidly becoming my only blog, and as such it will contain more tangential news about my life as well as stuff relating to sustainability.  By “sustainability”, much of the time, I end up meaning “food”.  Gardening and cooking is fun (for me, at least), empowering, and provides an endless source of minutiae to write about.  I will occasionally write about political issues or more wide-angle philosophizing, but other people do that so much more eloquently and informedly that if you want that you should just go look at my blogroll and pick someone off of there to read.  I have, however, been posting a steadily-increasing number of semi-coherent religious ramblings.  Consider yourself warned.

    Thanks for the recipes- they have some great ideas. I’m afraid if I cook one more squash my family is going to riot.

    Hi, I just found your great blog. I was really struck by some parallel thinking and life experiences that we seem to share so I thought I’d leave a comment:
    Lived most of my life in the Boston area (now living in western Mass.)
    CSA devotee; the first CSA I belonged to was in Waltham, now I belong to Food Bank Farm in Hadley
    Totally obsessed with sustainability
    Admirer of Sharon A. and Crunchy
    Wishing I could be as diligent with the Riot and Independence Days
    Simmons GSLIS grad ‘04! (I also have two other degrees from Simmons, undergrad in psychology ‘96, masters in gender/cultural studies ‘99. Plus I worked there as a library assistant.)

    So, just wanted to connect! You rock!
