(This is my New York) New York is a 5 dogs in the morning city. There is an occasional cat and maybe a rat running around in the subway. Pigeons are my mortal enemy and should be avoided. New York is a city where pedestrians can attack cars right back. As I passed by, a […]
(Madeleines from the fabulous restaurant Aureole) Day One: I ask God for hyperboles,Mixed metaphors, logical adjuncts, plot lines and summaries;He responds with a idea freeze, a tease, a set of unintelligible characters bleeding out onto the–Page. Day Two: We are wise to wonder at the progression of creativity, as weTumble back and forth, houseplants in […]
Today, breaking from my regularly scheduled life, I went for a skating lesson downtown. My morning was spent navigating the Village first to acquaint myself with the obscure location of Mercer Playground, which has no fixed address, but is instead wedged between other addresses and cannot easily be located on Hopstop… Then, I got lost […]
(I carried this plant all the way back from Virginia) For everyone out there who feels like they’re drowning in word count: you are not alone.Today my roommate and I returned from Virginia to New York City. Our cumulative journey consisted of a 4.5 hour bus ride, a 30 minute cab ride at stomach-churning speeds, […]
I have been fading in and out on this blog recently, but not without regret. In the past month or so, I’ve been trying to keep up with some strangled emotions – when my boyfriend left for Singapore, when I was hospitalized for respiratory problems, and when I (not two weeks later) had to uproot […]

This weekend, I was lucky enough to hang around at three downtown locations, all of which were very different and had their own special flair. Oh, and don’t worry! I will be posting one of my much-anticipated writing experiments sometime soon (maybe even at the end of this post). Friday, I had an undeniable urge […]
I just found out today that I have been diagnosed with pneumonia. Hooray.It’s both good and bad that it happened during spring break; I get time to rest and don’t have to do a bunch of schoolwork. But, at the same time, I can’t really go outside that much and so I can’t go adventuring […]
Again, two reviews for the price of one! Today, I had the distinct pleasure to go to two different locations once more – these two were the complete and total opposite of one another. They were near to the area of 23rd Street (CocoaV was on 21st and 9th Ave, Trailer Park Lounge on 23rd […]
Alright! Well, on a first and unrelated note, I got my ears pierced! I got little steel hoops and am hoping that there are no complications this time (as there have been when I tried to pierce them in the past); we went to New York Adorned, which I find a really comfortable and interesting […]
