A few years ago, I queued up this TV show on Netflix. I'd started hearing about it here and there, and figured I'd give it a look-see, check out what the buzz was about. Couldn't hurt. The show was Doctor Who, and the hours I've lost to it - no, not lost. More like gladly given over to it - have ...
My Endless Summer
When the only beach you know is the one along Lake Michigan and it's lined by high rises, summers in southern California are as foreign as a holiday in Bali. I tagged along with the beach-bum natives as best I could, keeping up just enough to fit in. I never surfed, but rode the waves in on my ...
Who’s napping now?
When I moved to Indianapolis a week after graduating college, I never intended to live their for eight years, to work for not one but both of the city's top film festivals, to be a (small) part of a burgeoning tech start up scene, to meet some of the best friends I'll likely have well into the ...
We even made T-shirts
There's this movie I love - well, there are lots of movies I love. But this one, Dan In Real Life, is one that I love not for its witty script or memorable acting (as it really has neither) but because of the world it evokes. While the story is about a widower raising three daughters who can't quite ...
Making Progress
I just looked up and realized it's 1am. The baker's rack I ordered for my "kitchen" arrived today, so following an afternoon of exploring a bit of the West Village (cute new earrings! cute little cafe!) I spent tonight doing more unpacking. I live in 200 square feet and I have more boxes than ...
In which I fail miserably at being cool.
So. There's this thing about New Yorkers. You know it, even if you've never been here. They're rough. They're no-nonsense. They cut to the chase, they don't pull any punches. Insert cliche about New Yorkers here. I am not yet this New Yorker, and I'm not sure if I'll ever be. I am 100% embracing ...
Table for One
I cooked the first real meal in my apartment tonight. It's not that I've been putting it off - well, I sort of have. When you have so many dining options in a one-block radius, it's hard not to just sample the local fare. But also, it took until tonight to have a properly organized kitchen - dishes ...
With Gratitude
I was once told I'll probably always be single because I insist on doing everything for myself. How can you expect any man to want to be with you if he doesn't feel needed?, they said. Let's sidestep the bajillion things wrong with that statement (what is this, 1950?!) and focus instead on a ...
Crazy Kickstarter
There's been a whole lot of talk lately about Zach Braff's audacity to put his film up for funding on Kickstarter. A lot of angry talk, specifically. The developments are still coming in, but here's what I know: The producers behind cult hit Veronica Mars posted a movie project on Kickstarter and ...
Day One
Yesterday was Day One in my new Manhattan life. Tuesday saw us drive in from Youngstown, OH, a day that started at 7a sharp. We navigated a failing car and the Lincoln Tunnel only to pull up in front of my building late afternoon on one of NY's warmest days yet this year. Unpacking was a beast - ...
