About Me

NYC, Chapter Four.Things I like. Skirts, coffee & tea, warm rain, movie marathons, crossword puzzles, crossing items off lists, driving at night with the windows down, dirty martinis, mosiacs.

I will always give the marachi band on the subway a dollar. If you ask me for directions on the street, there is a 55% chance that I'll give you the wrong answer, but won't realize it until you're two blocks away. I'm teaching myself to play the guitar...

Old times there are not forgotten

I know that New York is a country unto itself and everything, and probably the least "American" city in the country, and yes, that's a lot of the reason that I am living here. But come on . . . who do...

On the Town . . . or not

Last night I was chatting with my friend Rachel (hi Rachel!) and she mentioned a restaurant that is my very favorite place to eat dinner in this city. I said so and she said "oh, how often do you go t...

If you cared . . . you would be so jealous.

Today an actor came into my office who made me unreasonably giddy because he was one of my favorite characters on one of my favorite TV shows ever. I was literally leaping and twirling about the...

Monks on a train

Last night I was going home from work on the 7 train around 10:30pm and I found myself sitting across from three guys in brown robes. I was intrigued enough to risk breaking the "bubble of solitude" s...

A Tale of Rejection on Fifth Avenue

At my office, from time to time we order catering and usually end up with leftovers. It's customary at the end of the day to take the extra food and leave it on a bench so that a homeless person can e...

Weaker than what?

Tonight, at the age of 24, I finally got to see my favorite band play live - something I've never actually done before, no matter what band I favored at the time. (Unless you count the New Kids on the...

Who knows what you're missing

So at the TV studio where I work, sometimes we have to come in on weekends to put people on your TV. This weekend was Jen's weekend to work, but she had a previous engagement this afternoon so I stepp...

Darlings, pick up a newspaper

People. It's Howard Dean. Governor of Vermont? Chair of the Democratic National Committee? Ran for Democratic presidential nomination in 2004? I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

I have the best job ever.

I would like to announce that I am totally buzzed, at work, right now. Why, you ask? Because my boss forced us all to go to the bar, during work hours, so that he could buy us drinks. And now I have t...

KJ's book club

So last night I finished the book I've been reading for the past couple months - "The Lost Language of Cranes" by David Leavitt. Today, realizing I had nothing to read, I panicked and went to Barnes a...
