Rediscovered this gem while leafing through old...
Inspired by the quote from Sufjan Stevens…
When I first moved to New York, I would hang out in the big 42nd Street Library because it was both air-conditioned (unlike my then hot as balls windowless bedroom) and because it was in the city when I was running around from job interview to audition without a place to go for those awkward 1-2 hours. And I remember picking up Mark Twain’s letters to kill time while I was there, and being amazed...

Nicest thing all week
I was on my way into the 23rd st 6 train stop tonight - it’s pouring down rain. I am soaked. I hear the train in the station and I get my card out - I’m gonna make it! And I swipe and slam up against the turnstile but my crushed chest is another embarrassing casualty of the too fast swipe. I was like, ahhh crap, because I heard that ding of the doors while I was reswiping it and I...

im spreading myself too thin. something has gotta go.
My apartment’s messy because when I get home late the last thing I want to do is clean.

What is a well-known song about a garden? This would be used in a tv commercial for a classy garden, so no “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.”
What about “Secret Garden” by Bruce Springsteen? Worked for Jerry Maguire.
Fake desk
rubysneakers:
I just set up a fake desk so that I can sit up and do work on my laptop at home. It’s got shelves for a couple notebooks, pens and I will be leaving my phone there so it’s not down in my bag in my room at the bottom of my purse.
Trying to finally move on and get a handle on myself, post fire-ing.
I can give you a couple spreadsheets next time I see you.
Oh, there's UFOs.
I’ve flipped past that google pic twice now and was all like, “is that a picture of HG Wells’s hometown? They could have done better than that…”
It makes much more sense now.

Blog #156: Kanye Ruins Teenagers’ Treasured Moments
(To view the blog click here)
Kanye is a jerk-i-nator. Although I highly doubt people would have got as angry at him if Taylor Swift was not a teenager or as attractive as she is. That being said, he ruins other teen’s lives… and I’ve written scripts for some of those moments.

Funny or Die: MA Men. Joey Joe McIntyre and a Wonderland Race Track reference? I’m in Beantown heaven.
It was really fun to hear these accents in person over the weekend. Also, I am glad Dunkin’ Donuts was represented because it was EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEE. I swear, they outnumbered the Starbucks which is terribly difficult.

9/11
My bus stopped today at exactly when the first tower was hit. We froze in remembrance. Then all the busses in NYC moved again.
I feel like this was a micro version of what it is to heal from anything. To know what it is, take time to think on it, and then to move on.
