I'm not gonna lie to you
I am spending this new years eve sitting on my couch, in my pajamas, with a wicked head cold, watching jersey shore, by myself.
also, i’ve never watched jersey shore before and it is INSANE! i can’t believe these are real people. the one called ‘the situation’ really has life figured out though: bar, jacuzzi, sex, sleep. that’s how the nights should go, i guess.

Snapshot: quick questions with Katie West →
steampoweredmedia:
Katie West makes tough work. It’s tough to critique because it seems so personal, tough to look at for the same reason. Viewing a Katie West self portrait is like stumbling on a photo meant to be secret, a photograph taken for just one person. For this reason, her photography raises questions about private and public, of the interior lives each of us live and the face we show...

Subway Writing III
I’m sitting on the subway on my way to work, which takes me an hour and a bit. The subway is moderately full. There’s an empty seat beside me, and next to that one, a woman is sitting looking at her Blackberry.

I can't sleep
I have one of those headaches where every time you move your eyes, it hurts. I had a nice sentence written out there, but couldn’t remember how to spell two of the words and so erased it, believing it was probably for the best.
Which brings me to my point. I’ve been writing almost every day, mostly on my hour commute to and from work. But it never seems right. It’s not enough....

Let me tell you
There are certain blogs that I read only when the moment is perfect. I’ll skim through a post, like the gist of it, click the little heart and wait. I’m waiting for that moment to go back and read it. That moment when I’m lying in bed at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and it’s snowing lightly outside and I’m eating too much chocolate and listening to Dinah...
