L.A. TIMES BLOG, BRAND X INTERVIEW
X Questions: Reluctantly Moving to L.A.’s Jamie Sneider Brand X, The Los Angeles Times September, 2010 Most performers come to Los Angeles with dreams of Hollywood fame (or at the very least, paparazzi attention). Jamie Sneider came with a blog — a reluctant one. An NYU graduate and longtime New Yorker, she and her now-ex-husband [...]
YOM KIPPUR IN SANTA MONICA
I battled over what to do for Yom Kippur. My plan was to attend the 11:00 am service at the Laugh Factory on Sunset Boulevard, but I wasn’t sure that I wanted to go. I was very exhausted from a hard week. My boyfriend and I stayed up late watching Season Two of “Mad Men”. [...]
“THE WEARY KIND”
I saw Ryan Bingham in Woodland Hills today. For those that don’t live in Los Angeles, that’s “The Valley.” Yup, people go there. I drove home after meeting my boyfriend (who works in Woodland Hills) and played “The Weary Kind” from the Crazy Heart soundtrack. Ryan Bingham wrote the song with T Bone Burnett — [...]
“HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL IN THE HUMAN BREAST”
I feel hopeful. I always feel hopeful in September. I’m not sure if it’s the new school year, or the Jewish New Year, or something, but the beginning of Autumn makes me curious, and it makes me want a better life. I started many relationships in September. I went through puberty, and lost my virginity [...]
WHY YOU WOULDN’T WANT TO BE MARRIED TO ME
It may sound counter-intuitive to write a list called, “WHY YOU WOULDN’T WANT TO MARRY ME,” but it came to mind when one person wrote in, “Your husband is a lucky man.” I felt a gulp of guilt, and thought, “I don’t know if you would want to be married to me.“ Here’s why: 1. [...]
WHO LOVES UNSOLICITED ADVICE??? NOT ME!
Be warned this post may sound a little angry, but if I don’t get this short manifesto off my shoulders, I tend to linger on an idea for days. I’ve come to a point in my life where I don’t love unsolicited negative advice. For example, many people told me that moving from NYC to [...]
WOW, TIME TO WRITE MORE FUNNY SHIT.
I just read a post that I wrote yesterday from my mom’s house in Boston. My husband and I are in limbo for a few weeks before we drive to Los Angeles, and I sound like a fucked up depressed hag. They’re are so many things to be happy for. Here’s a list: 1. Hot [...]
MORE THAN A MONTH LATER, I GET MY SHIT TOGETHER
I’ve been fasting from writing. Kinda’ fasting from doing the things I love too. I’m on a mission to get things done – i.e. work, workout, work on moving, work on having more sex, working on “getting back to peoples e-mails,” and more stuff like that. I’ve been a bit lazy too. Lazy. I’ve had [...]
WE LEAVE FOR L.A. IN SIX WEEKS
Wow. We leave in six weeks and we have no money saved. Because I am in a “I can’t care too much or else I get acid-reflux stage,” I’m pretty laid back about it, and I know we will figure things out. I mean, we have some money coming from pay and security deposit and [...]
MOVING TO L.A.
I am moving to a city that 4-out-of-5 people say, “Why are you moving there?” Holy shit.
MAYBE UTAH WOULD BE NICE…
And if LA doesn’t work out, maybe Utah? That’s what I was thinking as I went to bed last night, “Maybe I could do Utah.” I thought this ’cause I read the blog of some awesome chick who is married with a kid and lives in Utah. She says the Mormons are nice and very [...]
WICKED PSYCHED TO MOVE TO L.A.
Maybe I’m not so reluctant after all. I think all the months of anxiety, fear and restlessness with money worries have passed and I am really ready to move. I’m ready to leave NYC and see somethin‘ else. I’m excited to be in a different environment. My perspective constantly shifts. When I go for long [...]
