to those friends: thank you. immensely and eternally. you are a rarity & few and far between. I honestly could not be more thankful or blessed.

and then scuffled around barefoot for about 10 minutes on the fluffy, soft new carpet in my parents room.

things getting me through this day:
the promise of deep dish pizza when I get to my parents’ house in Chicago.
fantasizing about how I will sleep during the car ride to the airport.

will: bacon spaghetti? is that like the spaghetti pasta I made you & Davis before?
me: oh, no. no, it is much trashier than that.
will: trashier?
me: 1 can Campbell's tomato soup + 1/2 can of water + 1 small, diced yellow onion + 6 slices of bacon = the sauce. dump it on spaghetti. you're done. this is poor man's food.
will: trashy, indeed!

I had a dream last night that I had to give a...
the topic was “women.” …I didn’t even know the subject of the class, just that I had to give a 12-20 minute speech about “women.”
So I talked about Queen Elizabeth, Beyonce and Michelle Obama.
….apparently my inner psyche defines women under one of the three. I’m still trying to figure out what that means, haha.

I would say I’m in an emotional hangover after a very strange weekend.
(couldn’t New York snow just a little for me, so I can stop missing Chicago so much?)

As a lover of books (not just the words, but the...
besides the argument that IT’S KILLING THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY (it’s not) is just the idea of losing… well, books as I know & love them. I was at McNally Jackson yesterday and I rationalized buying an e-reader like this: there are some books (The Help; American Psycho; Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs — books I knew right away were “just for fun” books) that I...

Anonymous asked: You might want to drastically rephrase the entry about the Jewish families in your neighborhood. Members of the Jewish faith are not a rare breed of animal that open up for your white, over-privileged gaze.

HEY. FRIENDS. LET'S GO TO THIS.
In the neighborhood where I live, there exists...
It’s a heavily Hasidic Jewish area, and in living here I’ve learned that these are generally a very private people, a lifestyle I both understand and respect.
