This Saturday is Halloween, one of many holidays this year that will sneak up and punch me in the face. A month ago I said to Thom, “Let’s dress up! I’ve never dressed up and gone out in the city for Halloween!” Continue reading “Boo! Thom’s Thursday THauntings”
On Saturday, Tom and I brunched just the two of us at Narcissa, one of New York’s prettiest restaurants in my opinion. On the way to our table, we passed a glass case of tiny doughnuts and I felt I had to have at least one. Continue reading “Life is Like a Box of Doughnuts”
This past week my friend G, a cellist, came to visit and offered us free tickets to a benefit concert she was playing in at Carnegie Hall. Continue reading “Thom’s Thursday Thoughts”
I wanted to share how my thesis review went and then realized… in a way, I already did it five years ago. I mentioned here that the actual meeting went well, but only because when you’re sitting in front of the professors, it’s hard for them to say, as was implied in their written comments, “Well, it was just awful.” Continue reading “A Writer Like Cheever”
It rained really hard last Friday evening. I was writing at the kitchen table and looked up to see the window suddenly splattered with rain. “Look at the weather, Thom,” I said, “It’s crazy.” Continue reading “Thom’s Thursday Thoughts”
Way back in the spring, Tom and I were both job hunting and he promised me that once he got a new job, he’d take me to Italy. It sounded like a great idea at the time, because shortly after, I got a new job breaking down boxes, which wasn’t great but meant I wasn’t a total bum and two weeks after that, Tom got a new job too. We were both like, “Yeah! New jobs! Let’s go to Italy!” Continue reading “An American Bum in Tuscany”
Despite the above photo, Thom is happy to be back in his weekly feature because I say so. And he’s happy that I’m back, because the first thing he said to me when I returned Monday evening was, “Ah. It’s good to have you back.” Continue reading “Thom’s Thursday Thoughts”
It’s my second anonymous guest blog! I mean, someone else writing anonymously for my blog.
While writing this post on moving in together, I wondered if other couples I knew had the same experience. Did they feel more independent after moving in together? If yes or no, why? And what were some things they learned about each other and their relationship in the process? Continue reading “She Said: When Moving in Together, Communicate and Don’t Nitpick”

Most of my readers know my dad pretty well by now, either because you’re family, friends, or you’ve read my blog for sometime, in which my dad often appears. He’s incapable of crying and still, despite all my explaining, doesn’t understand why anyone would be interested in the stuff I write (“Why the hell would anyone want to read about your family?”), but he’s also a huge reason I am the way I am. Uncomplicated but not simple, the strong but far from silent type. Continue reading “K.T. Ho’s Thursday Thoughts”
