Little Red Lighthouse
You guys, I hate to whine, but life is a mess for me right now. Everything is up in the air, nothing is for certain, and it’s all new and scary. I’ve been working so much there’s scarcely been a moment to myself. Whine, whine, whine.
So yesterday, instead of waiting on the clothes in the dryer at the laundromat, I popped in 8 quarters and Eels and I took a walk down to the Little Red Lighthouse. Just under the George Washington Bridge, which is across the street from my apartment.
It was windy, sunny, and just warm enough not to need a jacket. Watching the water flow calmly by was a nice reminder of how life continues to flow by, even while we’re preoccupied by things like money and jobs and backstabbing and guilt.
No more words.
(As it should be)

I don*t even know how it got here, but once it arrived, there seemed to be no getting rid of it. Last week half a bag of jasmine rice showed up in my food cupboard. And by *food

Wow, what a year this has been! Not so different from last year, and yet, so much has changed. Me abandoning this blog, for one thing. Is “blog guilt” real? Because I think i’s real. It feels so real! To be honest,

FEELING: Kinda overwhelmed? I’ve been working at a different studio for most of the month, a studio that’s over an hour away from my home, and the commute was killing me. How do people do it? I’ve also been having stomach problems randomly
