Living through food

On graduating.

This is it, kids, we're going to live forever. We're part of the story now. In twelve hours, I will be staring at a podium. I will stare at that podium for two hours, with only the occasional break to look at my friends and share a knowing smile ...

Cincinnati Restaurant Review: The Precinct

nobody@vox.com(Jen Rizzo) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:31:35 -0400

It is no secret that I have a soft spot in my heart for Jeff Ruby restaurants, ever since the fabulous experience we had at The Waterfront back in October. I have a rule with restaurants lately: if I can cook my food better than you can cook my fo...

He saves all his trash talk up for one shining moment.

After lengthy pool trash-talk from me, I shoot one of John's few remaining solids in. John: See, now it's awkward. You got me a present, but I didn't get YOU anything.

Oh, internet. It's college basketball time, and that usually means I'm ignoring you. But with St. Mary's, Gonzaga and Drake losing today, and with UConn currently trailing, I just don't have the emotional ability to handle watching it right now. (...

How you know it's college basketball season in my house

Me, upon seeing Duke win and therefore not completely screw up my bracket: That's how we do it! SUCK ON IT! (makes lewd gestures toward the television and punches couch) John: Classy. Me, still on entirely too much of an adrenaline high: You knew ...

Protecting our children.

nobody@vox.com(Jen Rizzo) — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:44:31 -0400

I don't think I've mentioned this before here, but I don't see myself ever having children. Say what you will, but be warned I've heard it before. Any combination of "you're young", "wait till you're older", and "it's just because you're in colleg...

Post-review contemplations.

The DAAP Digital Design capstone process is a funny one. We meet with our adviser once a week in the winter quarter, which is based around research and concept development. At the end of Week 8 (out of 10 weeks in the quarter), we meet with a pane...

Getting into shape.

Here's my confession for the day: I kind of hate healthy people. It's not that I have anything against them as people. I'm sure they're all very nice. I can admit that a lot of it is jealousy. Them with their stupid gym bags and their 5 a.m. yoga...

A hint at what I do all day.

Also, I know I talk about work sometimes, but never show anything I do. The reasons for that are pretty simple. I work on 3D visualizations for stores that won't be built for probably another year. The designs are not only unfinished for the most ...

Capstone update

nobody@vox.com(Jen Rizzo) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 15:30:28 -0500

First of all, I would like to thank those of you who have responded to my internet-wide call to give me your thoughts on "women and numbers". Your responses meant a lot to me and every single one was presented to my professor, who was impressed wi...
