Fancy

From the Kilby/Brunstetter “fancy” Holiday party. Apparently this is “dancing.” Honestly, this party came at the right time, I was on the verge of grad school burn out.

We did it.

“I think I might cry if he wins,” I said to Sarah as we zoomed to Williamsburg after class to watch the returns.
“I’m so getting a picture if you cry.”
At about 11pm, as Bekah was about to plug her boyfriend Steve’s iPhone in she unplugged the jack and turned off the TV just as Jon [...]

Feeling enriched.

August 27, 2008, 1:32am:
In a jazz club on Houston and Allen, I’m already driving myself crazy with the thoughts on what I was thinking about a title for this post.  Now that I’ve taken so long, I have to waste your time with two sentences of trying to remember.
So: sorry, I was thinking about enriched.  [...]

A birthday thanks to all my friends. (Also, a recap).

On the 5 train heading to Brooklyn College, I keep thinking of that opening scene in the first episode of Mad Men, with Jon Hamm’s character Don Draper looking around the bar for influence on his cigarette campaign ad.
The moment was something that I relate to because its something I do.  Sit in a quiet [...]

One of those nights

I was woken with a stir by my friends barreling into my room at about 3:30 in the morning on July 6th.
“Dude…” cries Sureshot, trying to get a reaction.
“Man, get up!” cries Brian trying to shake me awake, I passed out in my clothes, I must be seriously drunk if I’ve done that.  There are [...]

Chapters

I’ve been reading a lot of Harvey Pekar this weekend. While writing up my picks of the week for Ships n Giggles last night; I noted American Splendor 2 #1 premieres this week and I wrote that Pekar is, “the best creative non-fiction writer today.”
Like Pekar, I like taking walks late, listening to some [...]

the armory

I went to this last night.   It was like a high school dance for hipsters.

Wonderful.

So, there was a lunar eclipse tonight. At the time of this posting, you’ve already missed it.
Yesterday, I was writing in my little Moleskin notebook all the things that I have to do this week and realized that the majority of things to-do are absolutely fantastic. It was like a sudden moment of [...]

Night Notes 2.2.08

4 TRAIN TO UNION SQUARE: I was just thinking about those blog posts that I used to do with the little vignettes of scenes in my NY social life. This should be something that I do more and more.
I haven’t used the “NYC life,” tag in a while and that’s something I should use [...]
