Riding in Cars With Boys
As I’ve mentioned, 2012 is the year of adventure — of all shapes and sizes. Instead of making traditional resolutions, let’s make adventures, shall we? Go West, young man. In the more traditional sense, travel will be keeping me busy this year. In fact, I shall dub 2012 the year of “Riding in Cars with Boys” for several … Continue reading »
Voyeuristic
“No one ever regarded the First of January with indifference. It is that from which all date their time, and count upon what is left. It is the nativity of our common Adam.” – Charles Lamb Ah, the retrospective. The time of year when we all take a wizened eye to the months of yore, … Continue reading »

Where does the power of the written word come from? Is it found in the pauses? The spread of ink where the author has stopped his pen, perhaps in contemplation of which path to choose?

Birthday Suit
“The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.” — Madeleine L’Engle I’ve been celebrating my birthday for the past week… quite unintentionally. Some close friends weren’t able to make my official bash and so they scheduled a small dinner at Bistronomic so that they could … Continue reading »
Crescendo
So lately I’ve been having this feeling with regards to music. Not a new feeling, by any means, but one that has been absent for a short time. That feeling where your chest swells and you want to create. You want to dance (for me, ballet). You want to graze the ivories, tentatively at first, … Continue reading »
L’Attitudes
Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.” -Henry David Thoreau I have great friends… from Lincoln Park to San Diego. I’m a lucky bitch. Continue reading »
