    GOOD NEWS! I *FINALLY* Touched Up My Roots!!!

      So this week was a week off from the studio, and I made myself to-do lists EVERY DAY. At the top of the list was TOUCH UP MY ROOTS. They were getting to be like 2.5 inches long, and it wasn’t the BEST touch-up job (can we say, “polka dots”?), but it’s a little…

    GOOD NEWS! It’s Ordinary Time

      I’m so happy that I’m doing this again! This guitar pick is a story.I was back at Trader Joe’s, the same place where I was gifted delicious cookies! It’s also where I shop for groceries every week, so, don’t act too surprised that I was there. I was in line down the toiletries/trail mix aisle, and…

    GOOD NEWS! The Internet is Still Funny

    Can you believe it’s only been like ONE WEEK since I got back from Burning Man???? I can’t! so much happened in the past week – I said goodbye to my therapist (I’m continuing therapy, don’t worry, but it’s still sad!), I puppersat for two doggies, I went to DRAG CON (future post I promise)…

    GOOD NEWS! Burning Man is nigh!!!

    You guys, I am literally in Reno right now. Yesterday my bf and I ran ALMOST ALL of our errands, and today we have a relaxed fun day planned of vintage shopping, In & Out, and Wal-Mart. I’m also hoping for a manicure but I won’t press my luck. I know it’s been quiet here,…

    GOOD NEWS! You Live, and You Learn

      I have been hustling my bustle this week to get packed & ready for Burning Man. Making lists, checking them twice, scrubbing zippers with vinegar! What you see up there is my completely packed suitcase: camelback up top, stuff sacs on the left, sequins on the right. Yep, basically ready. The only thing I…

    GOOD NEWS! Two Trader Joe’s Employees Did Not Believe Me When I Said I’m Turning 33 This Weekend (and then they gave me two dozen stickers)!!!!

    Woah okay HI HELLO! This week has been so fast and furious (?) that here I am, Friday morning, just now attempting to cobble together my usual weekly roundup — the weekly roundup that I usually start curating as soon as the previous one gets published, so, like, Saturday morning? Except I spent my weekend working while recovering from…

  • GOOD NEWS! You Don’t NEED Any Help!

    GOOD NEWS! You Don’t NEED Any Help!

    This week had been a total blur! Like, I’ve been at the studio since Tuesday, and I basically come home, have a glass of rosé, and fall asleep in an awkward position on the couch. Managed to give myself big blisters on my hand, which is awesome, and I carried a giant foam roll around…

    Good News! At Least The Tardigrades Will Survive

      Last week came in like a lion, and it’s going out like a lamb! It’s June, now. Holy crap. I completely didn’t see this month coming. #Sad? As you can see from my photo above, I went to the MoMA this week after my therapy session! This one is called L’Atelier, or “The Studio,”…

    Good News! We Survived Another Week!

      (sexy Muscovy duck via this website, it’s in Russian, I don’t know what it’s called) We did it, everybody! This week has been hard. Starting on Sunday, when I woke up with my entire arm tingling. I went to the walk-in clinic and left with a prescription for nerve pain meds and a referral to get…

    Good News! I Finished My Round Of Antibiotics, Now I Can Drink Again!

    Hello, I’m alive! (…-ish) So I finished my last dose of antibiotics last night! That’s a week of antibiotics! Phew!  You may recall that last week (when this picture was taken) I was pretty much dying of bronchitis and sinusitis. Well, I can breathe now! I’m still having WILD fever dreams, but I’ve been too busy…

    Good News…Same As It Ever Was….

    Ok. I’m freaking out. You’re freaking out. I just remembered what day it was and here I am, in front of all this uplifting *CoNtEnT* trying to justify it.   I started doing this when I felt overwhelmed by the news. I guess keeping it up is most important when it’s hard. When you’re like,…

      TWO DOGS!   Actually, a never-ending supply of dogs would be nice. https://www.instagram.com/p/BSL4nRyDytv/?taken-by=subwoofersnyc&hl=en If you didn’t already follow former xoVain editor Marci Robin on Instagram, you might not be aware of her incredible dog park Boomerangs, OR that she’s started a new Instagram account devoted entirely to pictures of dogs riding the subway!

    GOOD NEWS! Read This, Because Reading Anything Else On The Internet Is Just Awful And I Can’t Advise It

    Yes, this post is late. Very late. I had some times on St. Patrick’s Day, as evidenced by this AMAZING selfie that happened when I tried to take a picture of a dildo at the bar, and opened up forward-facing camera instead, and decided to make this face. Sharing is caring. Blessed be. Whenever somebody…

    GOOD NEWS! I’m finally going to get ALL THE EMOJIS this weekend!

    Happy Friday, everybody! I’m especially excited for THIS WEEKEND because my boyfriend has promised to help me update my phone to the latest iOS! My phone is still on iOS 7.something, because I’m terrified of updating it. This is where my beloved pops his head in and says “THAT’S BECAUSE YOU HATE CHAAAAANGE!” Yes, that’s…

    GOOD NEWS! I’ve been BUSY BUSY BUSY this week and it’s WONDERFUL!

    Wow, I don’t even know what to write! So I’ve been working on a project at the studio (again!) since I got back from California and it’s been pretty nonstop but I love it so much. As a result, I’ve been doing precious little else besides working and commuting, so I haven’t really dug up a lot…

    Good News! I’m back from California, and I brought the sunshine with me (as well as some rocks)!

    Wow. So, yeah. I was in California and it was so nice, we stayed an extra day! No, actually, we missed our flight home, but that’s another blog/story. Point is, we made it back to NYC in time to see The Skin of our Teeth at Theatre For A New Audience, because I helped work on the…

    GOOD NEWS! Rosé-Filled Glasses Edition

    Hey hey! What a rollercoaster this week has been! I got my period early — ON VALENTINE’S DAY! — and it was the most painful one I’ve had in a few cycles. But I’m glad it came early, because it was supposed to come this weekend, and this weekend I’m flying to California! Yay! I’m…

    GOOD NEWS! We survived another week! Let’s “Stick It To The Man”!

    Wow! What a week! This week was INTENSE and it all started on Sunday, with the #NoBanNoWall march in NYC. On Monday, I went to a Rise & Resist meeting which was very educational! On Tuesday, I needed an outlet for my rage so I danced it out at No Lights, No Lycra. Wednesday morning,…

    Good News! This Week Is Over!… Good News!

    Can we somehow reach the Barenaked Ladies for comment on this past week? Because I would hope they’d say something along the lines of “Wow, that’s a lot of stuff to have happen in a week.” or something.   Hi! I’m back again with some good news, and let’s kick it off with writing stuff!…
