Merry Christmas

I wish you all a Merry Christmas.  It is the most wonderful time of the year.

Oblique Strategies

I am going to start this again…tried it once, now more time. I have Nicholas to thank for introducing me to these cards.  Maybe one day we can write something together.  I have 127 Oblique strategies written on cards. Thank you Brian Eno. Over the next 127 days I am going to write 127 essays. [...]

Top Tens

The year is coming to an end and it is time for the Top 10s.  So far the list includes the following:
Albums, concerts, movies, moments, food, and women.  If you have any other list suggestions please let me know and feel free to send me your list as well.

Bay of Fires

Years ago I arrived at my apartment to see that my monthly issue of Travel + Leisure had arrived.  It was always obvious when one of my magazine subscriptions arrived.  The dusty, off-white metal mailbox was only designed to hold a few bills and letters.
At the time I was living in North Hollywood.  I had [...]

Little Luxuries

As many of you may know my birthday falls on Christmas.  Just in case one of you happens to win the lottery, megabucks, or powerball, I only want two things.
1. Tag Heuer Monaco watch

        
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. 1958 BMW 507

The Gloaming

I am knocking on my door trick or treating myself in what appears to be two totally different people.  This is the gloaming.

Happy Halloween

Hope you are all dressed to impressed and ready for an evening of fun and fright.  I am stuck in Vancouver, WA, listening to depressing songs, wishing I was elsewhere.  I hate being sick.  Being sick sometimes meant you got to stay home from school and watch cartoons.  After that you could beat Zelda and [...]

$1 can go a long way

Yesterday was a long day. Thursdays always are.  The hardest part about night classes is being able to sneak dinner in sometime throughout the evening.  I dont usually have the opportunity to do this so I make sure to have a late lunch or some snacks.  This was not the case yesterday.
After class it was [...]

Girls in Basketball Shorts

There is nothing right about this.  What is it about girls in basketball shorts that makes them so unattractive?  Let’s see…three women that I would love to have dinner with:
1) Zooey Deschanel
2) Sienna Miller
3) Jenny Lewis

If I had the opportunity to have dinner with any of the three listed, and they showed up in basketball [...]
