Aftermath

The aftermath of a breakup is strange territory.  Strange, because it tells you where you’ve been, and what you’ve really been doing, and how much you felt, and what, if anything, was real - and all this at the end, instead of the beginning when you really needed it. Hindsight. 20/20. Yadda.
It’s almost like the [...]

Don’t Marry for Love

There’s something about being at the gym that makes me want to read fashion magazines. Perhaps it’s as encouragement, or some kind of masochism (me, covered in sweat, versus models, covered in bronzer) - or maybe it’s it’s because the other magazines my gym carries are financial exposés. Not that I dislike financial [...]

All Quiet in my Head Tonight

Listening to: Armin Van Buuren, Kenny Burell.
In highschool I took French and Spanish at the same time. At the beginning, this was largely motivated - as I remember - by my mother and my sister throwing a (very) few French words around; I wasn’t going to get left out later on. So [...]

Chess with the masters

Woke this morning and tried to tame my hair into some semblance of normalcy before heading out. As the Mop is getting longer, it tends to stay down a little better, but i think i’ve yet to go more than about 3 days without some kindly stranger (usually with lip rings, tattoos, and a [...]

The Author is Moving to San Francisco

A short update on Things: No, I don’t have a place to live past January 20th.

Yes, I expect to find a place!
No, I haven’t turned in that big final project.
Or finished packing.
Or finished basically anything [...]

Amazing how the holidays promote indolence

I’m working on a post, and I’ll hopefully have it up tomorrow sometime

The author has returned (once more)

… and writing shall resume.
Today, outside my office,
the clouds hang so low, they might as well be fog.
I’m less impressed by clouds and rain
than by those who carry hot pink umbrellas
just to spite the elements …

The author has gone to Chicago …

… and will return Sunday evening. Provided the plane gets off the ground this afternoon! It’s snowing like crazy here…

The Author has gone to Istanbul

I am leaving Wednesday, November 14th, and will return on the 20th.
DJ Tiesto is playing in Istanbul on Friday.
In the meantime, I’ve a couple other posts in the works. I’ll try and add one more before leave … Wish me luck

My Life

I’ve just returned from San Francisco - beautiful weather, 80 and sunny. Napa in the fall is incredible, wished I’d had more time. The vineyards turn rust-colored in the fall, slowly from the tops of the hills down, and the trees pale to gold. Road rolling away beneath the car …
