o-ba-ma
What I recall thinking, as I stood with the crowds in the gathered around the large tv in the neighborhood bar, having abandoned the home tv for just a minute to experience everyone else’s joy and laughter, to see what all the noise and honking and drinking in the streets was like, was that this […]
love letters.
It’s strange reading your blog lately - you seem to be in such a different world, such a different state of mind than me. It’s kind of a nostalgic, vacationing vibe, like there’s infinite time to think about that tiny leaf on the end of a fern frond - no, not the littlest one at […]
my horoscope, good enough to share?
As the stock markets came crashing down, a different kind of global devastation received scant notice. The World Conservation Congress revealed that 25 percent of the planet’s mammal species and one out of eight birds are on close to extinction. We’re not just talking about exotic animals in remote hideaways, but rabbits and deer and […]
the apartment hunt
I’ve been meeting a lot of interesting people these past few weeks of looking for a place.
a writer and a prop stylist (meg and i combined??)
two upright bassist
one actor
ten kids with unsure job titles who live in a commune
one recently broken up guy who kept talking about his girlfriend’s stuff
drank twice with prospective roommates
someone registered […]
the truth
The most important thing you have, the one thing you want the most, its already in you.
I was writing tonight, and not just writing, writing without effort, writing without thought. Writing from some place in me that just needed to sit down and put it down on paper. Its been a while since I wasn’t […]
futreme.org
I’m kind of in love with the concept of FutureMe.org, an internet time capsule of sorts where you send a letter to yourself at a pre-decided time in the future, the clock automatically set to one year. I read through a bunch of the letters on the site, some ranging from one liners like “I’m […]
goodbye to all that
I’ve recently met a new and interesting character, living quite literally on the other side of the world, over discussions about youth and city living. She directed me to Joan Didion’s essay “Goodbye to All That” which I’ve excerpted here, not the best or most striking portion but the part I related to the most. […]
why i love new york summers part v: because
because, the light filters through the trees in a way that you’d forgotten, making beautiful silhouettes that you no longer take for granted.
because, we wear our beauty so proudly, most of us achieving that moment before flaunting it, leaving just enough for the imagination. New York bodies…so lithe and beautiful and bathed in sunlight. Who […]
sometimes i write, right?
A love poem?
Each morning I reach
my fingers, tentacles of light and sound.
There are daydreams with more scope,
Where the pale flowers still stretch
un-wilted by heat.
Each night I whisper;
your ears are willing accomplices.
Silent as the beating of butterfly wings,
(silent as butterfly wings beat)
that cause tsunamis in the Philippines.
There are much bigger pools to drown in,
none so much […]
and the perfect song
I still remember the day I first downloaded Emiliana Torrini’s Fisherman’s Woman last year all the way down to the exact outfit I was wearing. I was staying with my friend in Bushwick at the time (during my two months of couch surfing) and had taken the day off. Instead of working I’d spent the […]
