My cool, grey city of love. Wednesday, December 11, 2013. The New York Times' Invisible Child Series. Dasani speaks with certainty. She often begins a sentence with “Mommy say” before reciting, verbatim, some new bit of learned wisdom, such as “chamomile tea cures a bad stomach” or “that lady is a dope fiend.” She likes facts. She rarely wavers, or hints at doubt, even as her life is consumed by it. The Way It Was. The Collections of Artists. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Fall in love w/ your city. Hopel...

My cool, grey city of love. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. I had a baby and now i have a baby. she's a tiny machine of awesome and 24-hour need and i love her dearly. We're almost six weeks in and my brain is a scattered wasteland of sleep deprivation and reality TV at 3am, so here goes my personal buzzfeed-esque post about my life with baby so far. Baby lesson #1: throw money at the problem. Amazon prime is my new best friend and i see the delivery man more than i see real people i love in my life. Weepy frust...

My cool, grey city of love. Wednesday, September 4, 2013. It could be said that there are two kinds of people in regards to Terrence Malick: rabid fans and people who fall asleep during his movies. I say to the latter, fair enough, as his films are kind of quiet and long. I definitely fall into big fan territory, which is why I'm embarrassed that I waited until this year and my 3 65 Movies in 2013 challenge. To watch Malick's Days of Heaven. Edward Hopper's House by the Railroad was an influence, clearly.

My cool, grey city of love. Sunday, September 21, 2014. Hand in unloveable hand. Terry Gross and John Darnielle chat on NPR. About his new book, Wolf in White Van. And music and pain. It's a good Terry Gross interview, the kind where she asks tough questions and has a gentle tone in her voice. (The bad interviews are the ones that so tense or awkward that I am physically uncomfortable. I think we've all been there w/ Terry.). See also: This 2009 article. Thursday, September 18, 2014. Well, let's be kind&...

My cool, grey city of love. Monday, May 12, 2014. Clarks wallabees are cool. I am currently 8 months pregnant and the slow loss of dignity that can come with pregnancy has now settled in. In my case, it is shoes. Your mom friends were not kidding when they said their feet expanded and hurt all the time. I'm am now relying heavily on Clarks: my long beloved desert boots and now, Wallabees. Wallabees are ugly-cool and so comfortable. You know who else loves Wallabees? I'm in good company. Forty going on 28.

My cool, grey city of love. Thursday, November 7, 2013. I've been to Rome once before this visit, a quick 24 hours where we rushed to see the Colosseum and took an early morning taxi to the airport. I didn't get a good sense of Rome on that trip and I knew I owed the city a return to see if I could find more to like. This time around, Rome was incredible. One of our many 'people photographing things w/ their tablet' photos. A feral cat sanctuary! Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Tuesday, November 5, 2013.

My baby is now 12 weeks and 6 days old. i wrap up my days, baby slumbering and me as mom, turner-off-er of lights and washer of bottles, wondering what the fvck did i do all day?
