MY TRIP TO LA
On March 3rd, the inaugural day of my school’s Spring Break, I took a trip to Los Angeles with my boyfriend. I did not want to go for several reasons and anyone who knows my boyfriend, or me, or has had any contact with us in the last 8 months (especially the inhabitants of [...]
RAISE YOUR STANDARDS
The first real fight I had with my boyfriend was over the word “proud.” I needed a job — ideally a creative position that didn’t involve working for a complete douchebag. After a month of job-searching, I became desperate and applied to a “Hairstylist Salon Receptionist” position on craigslist. I romanticized the job. I thought [...]
FRENCH FOOD AND MY MOTHER
In four days, I leave Los Angeles for Lyon, France. I can’t believe it. I promised that I would blog everyday until the trip is over. Let’s see if I can do it. So, with that promise, comes “the writing” before I leave. Even if it’s shit, dribble, lists of stuff I have to do, [...]
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
I don’t write a lot about my Mom on this blog, but I talk to her almost everyday – sometimes several times a day. My mother’s name is Estelle and here some facts about her: She’s a painter. She enjoys splattering, spray-painting and creating abstract paintings. She’ll be 70 in October. She has black hair [...]
I’M OBSESSED WITH THE DUGGAR FAMILY
Have I been eating Cheetos and watching reality TV all day? Not exactly, but kinda. I have REALLY gotten into the Duggar family’s show on TLC, “17 Kids and Counting: The Duggar Family.” (They now have 18 kids.) Not only have I been watching the show, but I’ve been fascinated by that family. At first, [...]
MY FATHER’S OFFICE
See the office above. Imagine it without the Canadian Flag, unless you live in Canada and that makes sense to you. It was the best picture could find of my “fantasy daddy office.” My father’s office (not my father) is something I think about. Fantasize about Let me say it again – this isn’t MY [...]
WHEN I’M NOT ALLOWED TO DO SOMETHING, I WANT TO DO IT MORE!
When I was little, my father told me NOT to go into his office. He locked the office’s gold door-knob, and went to work all day. “There must be something good in there,” I surmised. My sister taught me unlock the door with a credit card. Just slide it in, and undo the cheap lock. [...]
DAD DOESN’T EXACTLY UNDERSTAND POINT OF BLOG
I just told my Dad about this blog. I kinda steered him away from looking at it. (I did write about his balls in an earlier post and he’d probably be mad.) “Why don’t you write about how you met Steve Wozniak and you were a test user for Apple? Tell them that you used [...]
YOU KNOW WHAT I’M PISSED ABOUT?
This is regretful writing, but I’m pissed that my sister was pissed that I sent it to her friends. Errr. She said that is my “blog” is too personal and she doesn’t think they would like it. And I shouldn’t have sent it to them…”no offense.” Errr. Can I have a trade-sy for a day? [...]
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 [...]
IS THE PERSONAL, ART?
Should I have told people about the blog? I think so. It’s my first ounce of “I don’t care what people think” since I got married, and it’s a tad scary, but feels fine. However, my sister hates it. She thinks the writing is somewhat amusing, but wants the picture above taken down. The picture that [...]
