Little Miss Law in Training?

First of all, dear readers, let me comment on how many hits I received in the past day on my post about Jane Austen! I must say, I expected to get more comments in the vein of “What are you talking about? You’re not a spinster!” and I am very pleasantly surprised to [...]

Becoming Little Miss Law

Yesterday on the plane I began reading The Jane Austen Book Club, which I recommend if you’re a Jane Austen fan. For someone who considers herself a reader, I am ashamed to admit that I have read not even a single Austen novel, so that when the women in The Jane Austen Book Club [...]

I Heart Bookstores.

Tonight I have felt the most peaceful that I had in a long time.  I came home from work and decided that I didn’t want to stay cooped up in the house, so I headed over to one of my favorite L.A. spots, The Grove.  Yes, it’s crowded (apparently it gets more visitors each year [...]

The Man of My Dreams

Oh, isn’t Little Miss Law a tease.  You thought that she was just going to open up and share all about her ideal guy or something to that effect. 
 Sorry to disappoint, but Wrong!  No, I’m writing about the novel I just finished with that title.  As often happens when I finish a book that I [...]

Little Miss Law Comes Home

I must say, there is nothing better than traveling, and then there is nothing better than coming home to your own apartment and sleeping in your own bed.  Aaaahhh. 
I wasn’t quite ready to leave Maui yesterday morning — I was wishing I could have a couple more days of vacation — but after a 5 [...]

Who reads this blog, anyway?

My dear readers, by now you all know to a certain extent who Little Miss Law is — or rather, what she’s like, what makes her tick, what pisses her off … you catch my drift.  Indeed, a good number of my readers have the *privilege* of knowing the “real life” Little Miss Law.
Yet, it [...]

The Magic of Writing

This has been an incredibly relaxing weekend.  The weather has been hot and gorgeous, with sun and bright blue skies.  Yesterday I felt inclined to get some quality time with Noodles, so I took the opportunity to  start the book that has been gathering dust on my shelf for a year – Joan Didion’s The [...]

Reading, Writing and Fake Meat

Yet another quiet day at the office.  I sit at my near-clean desk (it just wouldn’t be me if it weren’t a little messy and cluttered) and stare at my brand-new flat computer screen.  I am in love with this screen as much as I have been in love with any inanimate object in recent [...]

Flashback: 1991-1992

Hello dear readers!
I am sitting at my parents’ laptop at the kitchen table, looking out at their gorgeous, lush and tranquil backyard. They had a new deck put in recently, and they put a lot of energy into maintaining the lawn and the various plants and flowers: ferns, rhodedhendrons (sp?), succulents, etc. It’s beautiful and [...]
