Night at the Museum

Last Friday night, Flavio and I decided to get our culture on at the Walker Art Center, attending an event part of the After Hours series, self-dubbed by the Walker as "the hippest place to be in the Twin Cities."  Unfortunately, unlike the film staring Ben Stiller and Luke Wilson, this "night at the museum" was not one of dioramas come to life, cameos by Oscar the Grouch or hijinks ensuing.   And though it lacked in muppets and PG family fun, the event had an abundance of modern art, hipsters and Wolfgang Puck catered tuna hot dish. (not even joking)

The Natural Disaster that Changed my Life - One Year Later

As our country once again faces the horrific tragedy that occurred in Arizona this past weekend, I can't help but think of another tragedy that happened just one year ago on January 12, 2010.  On this day, Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti experienced a devastating earthquake that killed approximately 250,000 and left millions homeless.

Another Year Older, Another Year Wiser??

Happy New Year everyone, and welcome back to the Flaviana Blog.  As some of you may have noticed, there was a noticeable absence of blog postings last month - largely because I was busy with a temp job where I was being paid actual money to write and edit articles that will be published in a book later this year.  (Ahh, if only I had known my writing was good enough to earn me a living before I went to law school....but I digress...) 

Fortunately (or unfortunately) for all of you, one of my new year's resolutions is to be more diligent about posts to my blog!  So let's get started, shall we?
