Hello, and welcome back! Oh wait, I am addressing myself. See, that’s the kind of strange thing that happens when you decide it’s a good idea to spend three days in Las Vegas and then fly back on the red-eye at the equivalent of 2 AM Eastern time and then go to work that same [...]

Late Night Follow-Up
June 12th, 2008 · No Comments · Issues of Modernity, There and Back Again
- The toilet paper in our hotel has puppies embossed on it. Also it is just shy of a grown-up sized roll, width-wise. It is actually quite adorable. – Tonight on our way to the Western Wall, we witnessed the most intense catfight I have ever seen, and I mean catfight as in fight among [...]

Preliminary Thoughts on A Very Old Place
June 12th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Issues of Modernity, There and Back Again
I’m in Israel. I have 24 hours of internets at our Jerusalem hotel, so I’m doing about 900 things at once in the few moments we’re in the room. Rather than try to be too coherent (I’ve been here since 7 PM yesterday, which is noon Eastern time, and I slept? Some? But I’m tired!), [...]

Once Upon A December and Just A Little January, But Enough January to Make Me a 25-Year-Old
January 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Issues of Modernity, Screaming Inner Child, There and Back Again
A few nights ago, while lying awake in bed, I started coming up with a half-serious Quarter-of-a-Century retrospective blog post. Obviously it can’t be wholly serious, because I’m pretty sure you’d all fall asleep somewhere around age three, and I’d be making most of that up, anyway. I even came up with a great title [...]

It’s 4:10 AM here on the East Coast, but somewhere west of here, Todd just invented the phrase hate-colored glasses and my world came alive.

September, October, November, December… I’m alive

Yes, I know we are only halfway through those months, but I like that song (Stars, “Calendar Girl”), so bear with me. I’ve been M.I.A. of late because I have been following one of those Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten rules. Come to think of it, I’ve been following the one [...]

Fall For Dance: One Last Time
October 7th, 2007 · 2 Comments · There and Back Again
Hi Kids! So this place where I work now puts up this incomparable dance festival every year, where about thirty dance companies perform over the course of ten days. They come from all over the world and represent all kinds of dance, and it’s all been very new to me, as my only recent dance [...]

Home is Where the What Is?
August 27th, 2007 · No Comments · Screaming Inner Child, There and Back Again
If I get really motivated this week, you will hear all about my trip to Chicago this past weekend and the wonderful people I saw and things I did and the strange in-between feeling I have right now of not existing there anymore and not existing here yet and the longing for a home, which [...]

Oh My Goodness Oh My Goodness

Well hey! Here I am, rounding into my fourth (!) week in New York, and I haven’t made it out here to B-Spot to give the comprehensive, all-too-detailed overview of LIFE. When I see funny things, I try to remember them and/or write them down so I can post them here, but then I go [...]

In the City of Exploding Pipes
July 19th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Issues of Modernity, There and Back Again
Hello! I moved to New York. There is a lot to say (about flying with cats (DON’T, at least not with mine), about the dorm room I live in and the hippies I’m subletting from, about my co-subletter Tiffany and her darling Boston accent, about my new jobjob, about all the stories I’ve heard about [...]
