Overheard in the Studio
A very brief snippet of “Don’t Stop Believin’” which was quickely turned off. That should be a shuffle-shame song…
Tonight
Dear Universe,
Sure, you’ve been throwing me things left and right for a few months now, and sure, I’d love to kick back tonight and do nothing more than relax. But as I’m actually not very skilled at relaxing, I won’t ask for the opportunity to do that. What I will ask though, Universe, is that you make me be productive tonight. Yes yes, I’m awfully productive...

Waiting on David and a Win
So, like, five and a half years ago, I had a dream that the Phillies won the World Series, and I met David Bowie in a hotel bar, and my tooth hurt. So since my tooth hurts, and the game was rained out, and I’m headed to Berlin tomorrow…
Ahead of the Game
For once in my life, I am packed waaaaaaaaay ahead of time. Was supposed to work until midnight tonight, but looks like i’ll be outta here by 8 at the latest.
But yeah, anyway, I am packed. Leaving for Germany tomorrow evening, after the day in the office. Am trying to get to an art supply pleace before it closes to get the pens that I need for my trip. Bought the new Yves Saint Laurent...
Traveling Again
Spent the weekend in Kansas City. Am going to Berlin on Tuesday for the art fairs. Booked my ticket to Iceland today, Jan. 16- Jan. 25. So excited. Saw sunn o))) last week. Seriously, best show ever.

I am so giddy
Am going to see MY BLOODY VALENTINE tomorrow! Ohmigod, I’m like the happiest girl on Earth. I’ve been waiting for this since I’ve been, like, eleven. Maybe twelve. I can’t remember if I fell for them when I was going into sixth or seventh grade. I missed the Brian Jonestown Massacre last week because of work. I suppose I could have made it, but I had a fever and had been up...

The Cost of Fuel
On weekday mornings, I’ve got a routine: take train to work, walk through the underground maze that is Rockefeller Center, go to coffee shop, get large coffee with soy milk. The baristas know me there. In the winter, they see me and give me coffee. In summer, when I walk in, they simply ask, “iced or hot?” They know the size I want, and that i want soy milk in it. They’re...
Teenyboppers
I had some tasks to run in SoHo today. Apparently, so did the Jonas Brothers, and hey, they called every eleven to sixteen year old girl in the city to let her know. Kittens, you have never seen anything like this. You know when you see footage of girls in the 60s running through the streets of London crying because they saw a Beatle? Welcome to my late afternoon.

When Pigs' Heads Fly
I trekked to Long Island City in Queens last night for a black metal show at Matthew Barney’s studio. There were three bands. The first band was the best; Krallice—I am in love with you. The second band wasn’t super. Lots of corpse paint and screaming and nothing either innovative or melodic. Plus, the singer took to the stage with a piglet’s head on a stick. While that...
On Oversleeping
I rarely oversleep. It doesn’t matter how late I stay up, I’m usually awake at least fifteen minutes before the alarm goes off. I might hit snooze every nine minutes for an entire hour, sure, but sleeping past the alarm is an alien oddity to me.
This morning, I woke up feeling confused. Something just didn’t seem right; it seemed late. At first I resisted the urge to check...
Things to Eat in Midtown
I work in midtown. I never find anything to eat here, at least, nothing I really want. Yesterday, when working late and scrolling through seamless web, I found FreeFoods. Holy deliciousness. I got the roasted pepper and hazelnut soup, and two slices of raw pizza with macadamia nut cheese and pesto.
I Finally Have a Studio
Sure, I’m just subletting it until the end of August, but I’ve got my very own place away from my apartment where I can get paint on the floors and make whatever I feel like. Right now, I’ve got five very unfinished oil paintings hanging on one wall. I have no exact plans for them. I add paint to them when I feel like.
