About

Welcome to my website. Although the host is new, the blog is not--the first post went up in January 2008. I write about a variety of topics here including, but hardly limited to, baking, books, movies, historical topics, and politics. This is a catchall for a range of topics, particularly those that are not part of my research portfolio.

I can’t help but feel like my summer is already over, so I’m indulging in books this weekend. Yesterday I finished Nghi Vo’s The Chosen and the Beautiful, a supernatural (meh), queer (ok), retelling (excellent) of The Great Gatsby—with a title I can only assume inspired by another Fitzgerald novel, The Beautiful and the Damned. Then I plowed through Harvey Levenstein’s The Paradox of Plenty, a social history of eating in the US from 1930 to the early 1990s (The edition I read came out in 1993), and now I’m reading Angélica Gorodischer’s Kalpa Imperial, translated by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Nimueh has moods.

First bake post semester: Sourdough cinnamon walnut rolls. Need a little more cinnamon, I think.

This book had been tempting me for a while when I finally picked it up about a month ago and I just started. Fantastical wuxia (martial heroes) that, so far, is a romp involving action set-pieces between honorable heroes and dastardly representatives of a corrupt regime. The characters are not particularly well-developed (especially the women), but it is a satisfying story that reads like a martial arts flick in book form.

Look, some of us had a long semester.

Taught my last class of the semester. Now for all the grading. And for more Billie time.
