Tonight I am meeting up with a friend to see Beck and the Flaming Lips at the Beacon Theater. I’m pretty excited about that, though I’m a little nervous about the meeting beforehand at some chi-chi bar on the upper west side. Fancy places make me nervous, and this is mainly because I grew up [...]

Just now I stumbled across a blog in which the author was musing on her new attitude of detachment toward her financial difficulties. As she listed her debts and how she couldn’t pay them, I thought to myself, Well, why doesn’t she just cancel her Internet service, to start? Of course, after taking a few [...]

For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to attend the mediabistro.com “Magazines We Miss” event last night, which was purportedly a party to celebrate the memory of some of the mags that folded over the last year (Mademoiselle, Talk, Brill’s Content), but was really one gigantic schmoozefest.

I went grocery shopping at two this morning. There is something very familiar and comforting to me about wandering up and down those blue-lit aisles, the store half-empty, stock boys and their merchandise strewn about. What disconcerted me [...]

Last night I stayed up until after three AM filling out forms and organizing for the Great Graduate School Switcheroo. I have decided to go through with the applications that I started last year at Columbia, NYU, and the New School. This is mainly due to the fact that I will have to take out [...]
