The New Yorker just published a wonderful article about the rise of couples using marriage counseling. The article drives through the history of marriage counseling which is oddly but not surprisingly intertwined with that of the Eugenics movement. The article did not address why people go to marriage counselors in such great numbers, [...]
I relished walking as other some people enjoy solitaire.
When I think of exercise, I think of omnimous gymnasium collossi strapped to some young guy’s back, 100 pound bars up and down. I think of the straggly gym-bunnies who stumble out of the gym next to my apartment, unable to stand erect after beating their sinew [...]
Light Therapy
Color Therapy
Today there was absolutely no sunlight! With three rounds of snow storms in the DC area and now rain, it feels like winter is talking the long way out.
Thank God for red boots and yelllow sweaters! A friend’s mother knit this delicious scarf.
If you’re having trouble dealing or just want to feel [...]
I have not written in a while because I have been in Haiti. When I returned last week, I wrote a post for the
Huffington Post about my experience there and thoughts on the situation. The article as published last Wednesday:
Ajetreo
Ajetreo/busy-ness. Today is a day of much activity. Woke up at 5.30 to do yoga!! Meeting with fellow DC creative who directed the documentary The Nine Lives of Marion Barry. Office shifts and then evening of movie and dinner in Georgetown. WashPo has listed the restos participating in this year’s Restaurant Week. Check out [...]
Transportation is a matter of luck. If you have to be anywhere at an exact time, you’ll want to plan arriving at least 30-40 before. The trains, subte (the train that rides only within the city center) and buses are not always on time. It is not uncommon to have a delay of hours (yes, plural).

The itch to travel
Travelling is a fool’s paradise…I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the…self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from.- Self-Reliance, RW Emerson

Although I love Emerson and have read Self-Reliance [...]
Thanksgiving Foods
This year I am inspired to go into Thanksgiving with my bells and apron on (even though I am working in the morning; thank God for employment in a time when so many are less fortunate). Sometimes, I start to kick and whine about my life, my problems, my ennui. Then, I stop [...]
Use Your Real Voice
Do you think it matters what people think of you?
When you get dressed in the morning, or snap the impulse to pick that dangling booger, or don’t post that picture of yourself, do you hold back because you change your mind or because you’re worried that other people would mind?
I wanted [...]
The Eden Issue
Today, while wondering if I should rename my domain from oisercage.com to FLAUNT, which is the name of this blog, I stumbled on…well, yes, FLAUNT, the magazine. This magazine is crazy mash-up of creativity which I like to think is exactly what my blog is too. Haha. Their sections are Art, [...]
