Last night, I went to an event at Lincoln Center celebrating Dan Brown–you may have heard of him? He wrote that book, the one about the Mona Lisa, called The DaVinci Code? There are movies with Tom...
This week started off tired, after having celebrated Joe’s birthday on Sunday, and then just escalated from there. I attended a reading series Monday night where I saw Claire Vaye Watkins, Sam...
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Gala is known as the party for fashion. Stars descend on the Museum like cicadas in summer, trying to outdo each other with the most stylish gowns,...
The sun is out and it’s Friday, which means I’ve got an iced coffee and treated myself to a bagel (with peanut butter!) for breakfast. Life is good, and I’ve got a fun weekend ahead–it’s Joe’s...
As I mentioned in Monday’s post, I’m currently re-reading From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler . It’s a childhood favorite that still holds up, many years later. Much has been...
I’m not the trendiest woman on the block–which is a severe understatement here in New York. Usually, if I adopt a trend, it’s when it’s been time-tested, enough so that it can’t really even be...
Despite the above picture (taken while in Bermuda), this post is not about reading on vacation. No, I’d like to talk about a vacation FROM reading–a reading vacation, if you will. I think this...
Rough week last week, right? I think we can all agree that this week can only be better….RIGHT? Thanks for your kind words on my Boston post. It did actually help to write about it, a little....
On a Sunday night five years ago, my roommate and I stole a sign under the cover of darkness. It is probably one of the only acts of public vandalism I’ve ever committed, and it was worth it. The...
Well, I woke up this morning with a big old cold. No lead up, no warning, just a sore throat, stuffy nose, and all kinds of sneezing. I feel kind of blind-sided by it! Luckily, I have a pretty...
When I was home for Easter this past weekend, I was working my way through The Satanic Verses, which I had been reading for the better part of two weeks. Several family members noticed I was...
Spring was in the air…for about a day and a half. Now it’s back to frigid temperatures, at least for the next few days. A few things on my radar this week: 1. Visits home Joe, Chief, and I took a...
Solaris is one of Joe’s favorite books. Written in 1961, it’s a science fiction novel by Stanislaw Lem that focuses on the study of a mysterious ocean on the planet Solaris. The main character,...
The sun is shining today, so I got an iced coffee and a bagel on my way to work, and wore my “light” winter coat. I’m going home to RI with Joe and Chief for Easter and I’m pretty excited to take a...
I read Half-Blood Blues by Esi Edugyan last month and found it to be immensely entertaining and really informative. The novel tells the story of Sidney Griffiths, a black American jazz musician...
Is winter ever going to end? I need some sun, stat! Things that are currently making me happier than the gray, cold weather: 1. Easter Candy Everyone can agree that Easter candy is the best...
I haven’t been shy about my admiration for George Saunders (see here, here, and here). And I’m clearly not alone in my bordering-on-infatuation writer crush. What can I say? The man is funny, warm,...
Another uninspired week, at least in terms of posting. I blame this never-ending winter weather. I’m hoping to be revitalized by the weekend–today marks six months since Joe & I got married, so...
To close out my brief AWP Boston experience, I attended the last reading which featured Cheryl Strayed and Augusten Burroughs. They were there to talk about their most recent books, specifically,...
Beware the Ides of March, my friends, and prepare for St. Patrick’s Day hi-jinks for the weekend. This week has felt long, monotonous, and cold. I always say March is my least favorite month...
While I’m still on my shopping ban, that doesn’t stop me from appreciating cute things, like shoes. The slight uptick in temperatures and the longer days have got Spring time on my mind, and with...
I moved to Boston for grad school nearly seven years ago, which is crazy to think about. It was my first time living away from home as an adult, the first place I had my own apartment, the first...
Do you ever just get TIRED of all the stuff? You know, all that stuff you want but can’t afford, or bought but don’t have space for, or bought and returned, or bought and loved and got too...
Guys, I’m going to be in Denver all week next week for work. I thought it was going to really cold, but I think it might actually be kind of nice some of the time. I’ve never been to Colorado, so...
1. Gemma Correll I feel like if I met Gemma, we’d pretty much be best friends. Her comics and illustrations are so hilarious and fun. I mean, check out her latest book–it’s a Pug’s Guide to...
I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day (Joe made fried chicken for dinner, and we drank a bottle of wine we got in Napa last year, and we ate cupcakes, and it was so good). I feel like this...
I try to stick to style and literature here on the blog, but like any well-rounded individual, I have a lot more interests. Sometimes, these interests don’t really fit into any neat category or...
I’ve had my hair long for about four years now–long being past my shoulders, a few inches down my back. This is the longest I’ve ever had my hair, and for the longest amount of time. I have really...
Today marks the 50th anniversary of Sylvia Plath’s suicide. Much will likely be made of this date, since Plath has all but been reduced as a love-sick lunatic who took her own life. She was a...
Well, there’s allegedly a very large snowstorm working its way toward NYC (right now it’s just raining/sleeting) so this weekend will be spent mostly in pajamas, cleaning the apartment, reading,...
