I was not a good international worker yesterday. I didn’t strike, generally, instead I showed up for work and walked past the mini protests at Bryant Park in the morning. I did however put some of my ill-gotten earnings to use in support of a good cause, heading downtown in the evening to help celebrate… Continue Reading

The writing is on what exactly?
Back to trying: trying to keep track of spending, trying to keep track of calories, trying to keep track of emails and other things, and trying to gain momentum. Trying to post here. Trying to be self forgiving. Trying to manage technology without being a greedy chump. Trying to clean the house the dog the… Continue Reading
You don’t need me to tell you what’s wrong with art fairs…
I took myself over to the Armory Art Fair and its tiny twin Volta yesterday. I’ve been curmudgeonly about fairs for quite a while, so generally I don’t go. They are a business that seems to succeed despite the fact that almost nobody I know enjoys them: artists are either pissed that they aren’t included… Continue Reading
A house guest makes one lift the seat…

Both times I was dreaming dreaming about being behind the wheel of a car driving very slowly into a steadily worsening situation. “A slow-motion nightmare?” I asked myself as panic forced my eyes open. When I woke for real, the morning sky was wintery for the first time in… Continue Reading
Is it the air in here?
Spent the afternoon at hipster central: The Brooklyn Comic Art and Graphics show and while it wasn’t the transcendent experience it was last year, I still managed to have a good time before the agoraphobia kicked in and I had to beat a retreat to greater Williamsburg and from thence to home. It’s funny, but… Continue Reading
Do what?
Don’t quite know why I’m feeling as rushed and crushed as I am these days. This semester has tumbled by at work, and I feel like I can barely get my head around the very fact of 2011 itself, now that it is crumbling into dust around me. All in all I feel like I’ve… Continue Reading
