Can we do a roll call for all the Wellesley peeps on Tumblr? Just reblog this if you go to/went to Wellesley. If you are inclined, you can add your name and year but it’s fine if you don’t.

A Quick Word
I am blogging a lot more over on my fitness blog “Women Are Strong” these days. Oh CrossFit, how you’ve changed my life. Follow me there if you’d like :)
That doesn’t mean goodbye to Amorous Musings at all — but it just means that fitness is in the forefront of my mind more these days.

Thank the gods for Kiki Smith
I first encountered Kiki Smith’s works at the MFA in Boston in the days preceding my first year of college. There is an incredible bronze statue that is part of their permanent collection there — a woman crouched down in an inquisitive, animal-like pose — but she is mounted on the wall. A real predator.
At the time I didn’t know who Kiki Smith was or what her work...

Moving House
As you may have gathered, I had a semi-nomadic childhood. We typically moved at least every two years and spent most summers abroad in some combination of Malaysia or China. And before we ask, we are not a military family at all. (Have I written this before? I think so. HA!)
This is all to say that at the moment I am the midst of moving house yet again — but this time it is just about 4...

John Steinbeck on Falling in Love: A 1958 Letter... →
New York November 10, 1958
Dear Thom:
We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers.
First — if you are in love — that’s a good thing — that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you.
Second — There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing...

Kuala Lumpur: Family Edition
What you may or may not have realized about me yet is that I am half Chinese. The Chinese side of my family have lived in Malaysia for ages — primarily in some combination of Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Ipoh.
Most of childhood summers were spent running around my grandparent’s home in KL and eating the most delicious food that I have ever had the pleasure of eating, including but not...

WAR
“By cowardice I do not mean fear. Cowardice… is a label we reserve for something a man does. What passes through his mind is his own affair.” - Lord Moran, The Anatomy of Courage (from “War” by Junger)
One of the most moving pieces of documentary that I’ve seen or read of late is the dual documentation of the FOB Restrepo by Sebastien Junger (writer) and...
