THE HENRY SOFA

THE HENRY SOFA

The West Elm Henry Sofa is more than a couch (sorry, sofa) — for me, it’s commitment during an unsure time, and for my boyfriend, muuuuch needed comfort. I’m fine without comfort — if I had to sit on the floor and eat, fine, or sleep in sheets that are disgusting (I mean, my dog [...]

NEW YORK CITY IS MY LOS ANGELES LOVE AFFAIR

NEW YORK CITY IS MY LOS ANGELES LOVE AFFAIR

I had a dream last night that I was shown an apartment in NYC. I didn’t exactly recognize the neighborhood; it was a mixture of the West Village meets the Lower East Side meets downtown Boston, not far from where I’m from. The apartment was very circular, like a box of four rooms, with very [...]

WHO I WAS vs. WHO I AM

WHO I WAS vs. WHO I AM

I’m at a very strange place in my life right now. I’m 33. I’ve been married. I moved from NYC to Los Angeles almost three years ago. I’m not married anymore, but I’m in a solid relationship. All I have to go on is my history. My history is this: I was an “athlete” of [...]

FINISHING THE BOOK

FINISHING THE BOOK

“I just want to burn it,” I said to my boyfriend in bed last night. “I just want it all to go away.” “I know,” he comforted, “But maybe it will go away if you write it.” I tried to explain to him: “I’ve been writing this book for ten years. Why am I doing [...]

MOVING IN TOGETHER. HOLY SHIT.

MOVING IN TOGETHER. HOLY SHIT.

I connote marriage with being stuck and freedom with being single – having a studio apartment or one-bedroom (maybe not a one-bedroom so you don’t feel that lonely) and living in a metropolis. I’m about to move in with my boyfriend of um…. 3 months. I know what you’re thinking. Though I love soliciting opinions [...]

FEELIN’ PRETTY SHITTY – HOPIN’ THIS BLOG WILL SAVE MY LIFE

Hi Outer Space! Dear Blog, I want so much out of my life. I wanna make a difference – a big difference. I want to walk into my 15 year reunion and have them know me. Cause they read about me. Somehow. I wanna stop dreaming about performing in front of my gym’s workout floor [...]

I WANT TO MAKE GOOD WORK

I WANT TO MAKE GOOD WORK

I want to make good art. I went to P.S. 1 today (the art museum in Long Island City) and there were a series of paintings by Peter Young with basic dot formations. They were good, totally not my thing, but very well done. I may not be every one’s thing, but I want to [...]

DOCUMENTING SUCCESS

DOCUMENTING SUCCESS

I really want to do well when I move to L.A. I specifically feel that I am moving to LA to be something. Not like I wasn’t something in N.Y. — I just want to be something during my marriage, or specifically, to be a working and creating artist. I am hoping in L.A. to [...]
