I’m listening to Andrew Bird, trying to get even more into the spirit since I’m seeing him at Carnegie Hall at the end of January (get excited and/or jealous). I’m shuffling between him, M. Ward, and Pulp.
I’m going to apply to Crumbs (opening in January here on Long Island) because if I don’t get employed soon, I will become one of those sad shell-folks making...

"I got a lot of problems with you people..."
I ate my weight in little appetizers and desserts at the Christmukkah-themed party this afternoon. Best: pecan chocolate chip bars and artichoke pie. Worst: anything and everything containing raisins and/or coconut (note: if a food does contain both of these offending foods, it should be banned from my line of vision entirely). Nancy gave me a gift certificate for a manicure at my favorite place...

Lack of stamps, perhaps.
I stopped getting any kind of good mail maybe two moves ago. I got a few stragglers from California when I moved into the apartment that fall, but then they stopped. One by one, they all dropped off somewhere else in New York, no doubt, in a place I vacated before the west coast ever happened to me. I’ve had my mail forwarded after every move, but apparently the mail gods have decided to...

You'd make a perfect angel in the snow.
I spent the morning cuddling with the big Ugly Doll Jess gave me for Christmas (an Ice Bat named “Flasky,” after the second gift she gave me).
I finished up a few gift-buying endeavors yesterday, so I’m almost prepared for Christmas. I never really feel entirely ready though. It’s a hard holiday, and certainly this year is no exception. Still, the holidays are exciting....

If you live in sunny Miami.
Please feel free to smuggle me in for the Langerado Music Festival in early March.

You should stay.
After seeing Liz today, I got to thinking about our talk of people (abstractly and specifically) dating “officially” and the difference between hooking up and being together. I might be addressing a generational gap, but I don’t think it’s as simple as all that. Maybe it’s about commitment or comfort or closure or any of those horror-invoking words. It seems that...

Just beat it.
I filled out an application at Book Revue (our local independent bookstore) for part-time work after the holidays. And if they don’t take me, I might finally go crazy enough to finish writing my cookbook, a work of semi-fiction based on boredom and some baking. But then I’ll be poor and you’ll find me dancing for dimes in Penn Station. While that might be funny, in no way can I...

She's been collecting for a decade, I guess.
Mom: So the weirdest thing just happened. I'm in Target right now...
Me: Okay.
Mom: I get on one of the lines to pay and my total is twenty and change. So I pay.
Me: Uh-huh.
Mom: And the lady gives me back my change and there's three quarters. And all of them are Hawaii.
Me: Oh wait. Oh wow, so... so you're done? That's all of them? That's it.
Mom: I almost started crying. It was one of those cosmic things.
Me: Holy shit.
Mom: They're so shiny.
Me: I bet.
Mom: I just had to tell you. You're the only person I know who would understand.

Rough.
I disappeared this weekend to go hang out with Liz and Matt at Liz’s Harlem-adjacent building. We made Matt sit through some made-for-tv movie about married teenagers and ordered a lot of awesomely disgusting food.
Side note: I am still unemployed and writing.
Another: I’m not done with my Christmas shopping. You’re all getting flasks now.

I'm too tired to go to the gym.
Which is, I suppose, part of why I really should go.

Blah.
Went to Victoria’s Secret with Jess, only to be disappointed that I didn’t really want to buy anything. And I always want to buy something. I fought the urge to buy everyone socks for Christmas, then we trolled around the rest of the mall for an hour or so.
I still have tons of people to buy things for, and while money’s tight, it’s really creativity that’s lacking....
