On Change, On Choice
I’ll admit it - I was beginning to feel stuck.
This year was amazing, just as I predicted. I did the biggest thing I have ever done. I moved to New York City. Without a job. Without friends. Without a roommate. I felt the pull from inside me, telling me that I needed to move. So I moved. I put down roots in this sidewalk city. And the amazing thing? I survived. I found a job. I made...

Annual Movie Review
Every year I scroll this site and write down all the movies I saw this year, and all the ones I wished I had seen. I didn’t see as many this year as I usually do, but if you need some recommendations, here are my thoughts:

Home At Last
I made it home! My apartment is an absolute mess, but it’s warm and toasty, as usual (even after leaving the windows open all weekend!) and my mailbox is, as always, full of mail for the girl who lived here before me.
Brooklyn is Snow City. The cars that line the streets are all blocked in by waist deep snow banks, some even coming as high as the car rooftops. The sidewalks are tough to...
I Never Knew Y☀u From The Sun: Air time →
buongiorno:
You either are or you’re not: the sort of person who reclines their seatback when on an airplane, knowing full well what it’s like to sit behind someone with a reclined seat, and how it reduces ones personal space to almost inhuman confines. I’ve never reclined my seat before on a plane. My…
The Joys of Public Transportation
Oh dear god. Just spent over an hour waiting outside in the bitter cold for the bus to show up to take me back to the city so I can immediately go to work until midnight. Can’t. Feel. My. Hands. At one point while waiting, I considered jumping up and down screaming “my base needs are not being met!” It was that kind of desperation. Now we are on our way. It is very crowded and I...

Well! I hope you all had the merriest Christmases. Fortunately, Christmas eve and Christmas had the good sense to fall on my days off, and I had a pleasant weekend with my loved ones upstate, using one of my two (two!) annual personal days to make it into a three day weekend. However, today I am snowed in in Saratoga (suburbia) Springs. The megabus stopped running, the trains are all sold out,...

I’m gonna rewrite the song ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ and make it so the person leaving actually gets to leave, and the other person is like, ‘Alright, it was nice having you over, I totally respect your boundaries and understand that no means no, and we can hang out tomorrow if you want!’
It won’t be a very long song.
