opportunity cities allowance
When you spin a globe and point to a city and actually go to that city, you build an allowance of missed opportunities on the back end.
living-my-life notes feels
I have definitely had experiences where I can feel the shift from simply living my life to being slightly outside of my life and taking notes.
work-out world goodness
I have a disproportionate amount of faith in the goodness of the world and that everything will actually work out okay.
people decent knows
I don't understand how you can be a decent writer and not know people.
birthday summer baby
I'm a summer baby, so I usually have my birthday as a good summer memory.
taken yesterday quality
For me, nothing brings out my 'born yesterday' idiotic qualities quite like having my photograph taken.
done serious should
As most New Yorkers have done, I have given serious and generous thought to the state of my apartment should I get killed during the day.
girl fun creative
It takes a level of creative depression to hear 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' and weep.
sweet alaska together
Alaska is what happens when Willy Wonka and the witch from Hansel and Gretel elope, buy a place together upstate, renounce their sweet teeth, and turn into health fanatics.
lesson-learned lessons transition
Being a writer is an endless study in human transition and lessons learned or forgotten or misapplied.
lying dark people
They say it's not the snoring itself but those anxiety-packed moments in between snorts. It's the waiting for the nasal passages of the person lying beside you to strike again. And strike it always does. In the dark, almost against your will, you produce that special glare reserved for people who cannot control their own behaviour.
jumping two cooking
Ah, the power of two. There's nothing quite like it. Especially when it comes to paying utility bills, parenting, cooking elaborate meals, purchasing a grown-up bed, jumping rope and lifting heavy machinery. The world favours pairs. Who wants to waste the wood building an ark for singletons?
morning trying littles
I like to try to do a little work before I do anything in the morning, even if it's a paragraph.
people world unlimited
The world I describe is about how people live now. It's not about zany people with unlimited, inexplicable funds in an apartment somewhere.
