My Favorite True Crime Podcasts
Aaaahhhhhhhh, October! When a young gal’s mind turns to TRUE CRIME PODCASTS! If I had a dime for every time I met another person who is as obsessed with true crime podcasts as I am, I’d be like, “What the heck am I going to do with all of these dimes?” Because I really love true crime podcasts,…

Change in the Weather
I say this ALL THE TIME. But I say it the most when the seasons change. In New York City, it is SUMMER until the MINUTE that it is WINTER. And it is WINTER until the MINUTE that it is SUMMER. Theydies and Gentlethem, Welcome to Winter. I’m gonna point to…

Kitchen Nightmares, Sweet Dreams
I’m a CHAMPION sleeper. I’m asleep by 9pm most nights, and wake up by 6am most morning for work. I sleep SOUNDLY, have graphic DREAMS (which I journal, obviously!) and — compared to so many of my peers who struggle with sleep — I consider myself lucky that I’m SO GOOD AT SLEEPING. …

Where I’m Coming From
After ten years, I can call New York my “home town.” Those are the rules. Read ’em & weep, suckers. But the place where I lived for most of my life — the town I grew up in — will always have a special place in my heart. I may have left Vestal,…

Sunday At Home!!!
Today…. for the first time in MONTHS… I’m spending an entire day at home. I’m trying to remember the last time I actually spent an *entire* day at home without working a half-day, or doing a tour, or venturing out to meet my boyfriend. I think it’s really important to have personal alone time.…

Things I Wish I’d Done Before I Got My Forearm Tattoo
In case you don’t follow me on Instagram (but seriously, why don’t you follow me on Instagram?). Two weeks ago, I got my forearm tattooed. *wheeeeeeee!!!!!!!!* Two days before the Chrysanthemum Moon in September, I got a huge chrysanthemum surrounded by sweet forget-me-nots down my left forearm. It was a long appointment, and I…

Things That Ought To Be Pumpkin Spice Flavored But Somehow Aren’t Yet? Get On This, People!
We are now firmly in October, which puts us at the peak of Pumpkin Spice Season. In case you don’t already know, “Pumpkin Spice” is made up of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and everything left that is pure and good in this doomed and depressing world. 🙂 Naysayers will say, in addition to “nay,”…

Currently… in October 2018
FEELING: SO OPTIMISTIC. And nostalgic, but in that “look how far I’ve come” kind of way. My life was turned completely upside-down on this day last year. Right now, I’m working two jobs that I love, living in the most fabulous apartment, dating someone who adores me and who is so easy to spend time with, healing a new tattoo (!!!!!),…

Autumn Wish List 2017, Revisited
*** HELLO, FRIENDS! During a Drafts Folder Clear-Out, I came across this draft that I’d last edited on September 27th, 2017. I abandoned this post — and my blog, really — for basically all of autumn after that while I was going through a bad breakup. A year has passed, or shall I say,…

Now That I’ve Seen Batman’s Penis, I’ll Never Be The Same
So, DC Comics has launched a new label called “DC Black” (“why it gotta be black?” — RuPaul) which is aimed at a more “mature” audience, presumably to tell stories with more sexual content, because they had no problem grappling with extreme, disturbing violence content under their existing label. Especially when it came to…

HOW Tired Am I? *THIS* Tired
I *thrive* on being busy. I sleep better when I’m busy, drink more water when I’m busy, keep my room cleaner when I’m busy. I’ve been pretty busy lately, but it’s a delicate balance. I know that I’m too busy and too tired when THIS happens: I think it was the night of the Primary Election. I *think,* because…

Back To School
I haven’t been a student since 2007. HOLY CRAP, I’m old! And yet, I don’t think a week goes by that I don’t have a dream about going back to school. I’ve been using the Dream Journal Ultimate app to log my dreams for the past two months, which by the…

After A Decade Of New York, You Will…
Today is my 10-year anniversary of moving to New York City. You probably know me as someone who talks a lot. HA! I do. But reflecting on this momentous occasion, and what it means to me, I’m actually at a loss for words. I can’t seem to form the sentences to express what…

Dance As If Nobody’s Watching — Oh God, Are They Watching?
You know how some people are afraid to dance because they claim that they “can’t dance”? Hmm…. can’t relate. Not that I’m bragging about my skills on the dance floor! Au contraire — I am openly and unapologetically an awful dancer. But I’ve always taken a special joy in dancing. I vividly remember the excitement of having…
