hey, welcome to my blog. there is plenty of writing for you to read here. most of it is about my little life, but sometimes it is also about other things....
This June was characterized by a complete lack of intentional writing in my journal. I have nothing but fragments. June was distracted, out of my head, thinking about the easy things and avoiding thinking about the difficult ones. I have been moving through the world without much thought and remembering absolutely nothing. Months like this seem to happen maybe once a year, blurring a whole bunch…
There's a Sheryl Crow song L played for me last summer that's been taking up a not insignificant amount of space in my head for the better part of a year. Crow spends the entire 4 minute run time of All I Wanna Do in a bar with this older man, looking at all the yuppies and thinking about the ways in which life has passed by all the people stuck in the bustle of everyday life, work → money →…
Brian Eno and David Byrne, 1981. Photographed by Marcia Resnick xxxxxx At sixteen, I used to drive to the gym at five in the morning while listening to More Songs About Buildings and Food . Hearing The Good Thing on loop was one of the few things that kept me awake, speeding on gravel rural roads on less than three hours of sleep. At seventeen, I spent 24 hours solo in the depths of Algonquin…
L cleaned out her childhood email account a few weeks ago and forwarded me something I wrote to her in 2013. It's a masterlist of curated links from across the internet that I created and sent to a list of my friends at age 11. In spirit it is nearly identical to the types of link round-ups and blogrolls I see all over the internet these days, my own blog included . 6/11/2013: the earliest…
hiii, Not much to report over here but I suppose something on the blog is always better than nothing on the blog. Things lately: I've somehow read eight books already this year, which is unprecedented progress towards my goal of reading 25 books in all of 2026. I'm finally tackling reading all of the people that I'd been semi-avoiding for years, not for negative reasons, but just because I didn't…
this post was written for the february bearblog carnival on boredom , hosted by winther . prompt: Are you ever bored, what do you do when you are feeling bored or are we even capable of feeling bored in this age of limitless digital entertainment? The sun is coming through my window and I am sitting at my dining table looking out at a city skyline. If you were standing behind me and looking over…
Little Girl Looking Downstairs at Christmas Party (1964) by Norman Rockwell My grandmother has been calling me lately to tell me about how lonely she is feeling this January. The constant winter storms are only making things worse in a month that is already hard to bear even at the best of times. I regret that the distance between us means that there is very little I can offer her right now other…
Mamí in BC, Summer 1993. Shot on film by Dad. In early December I found my mother sitting in her closet and poring over old photo boxes that had been stored for years, throwing duplicates in the garbage and sitting with the weight of moments lived and passed. The photos themselves are sort of haphazardly organized, there's no specific categorization to the years, neither are there enough label…
My flight got delayed and I have nothing but a Microsoft Word document and a dream so here’s a blog post. I decided many years ago that when travel delays happen, that I’d just decide to be happy about it. I got a cider at the airport bar so it’s time to write. A few thoughts: The ads in this airport are always so bizarre because they mainly cater to politicians, usually oil and gas companies,…
It's Christmas but I don't really have a sense of what day of the week it is, nor do I really care. It is the time of year where everything blends together anyway and all routines are disrupted. The snow is blowing outside my window and I am online once again, tapped into the big world through my screen. I wanted to write a top ten albums list of 2025 to share here but I think I've found this is…
