When talking about it with the uninitiated, I have to explain the whole concept of immersive theater before I can begin to describe Sleep No More. But anyone who has been there understands booking a stay at the McKittrick. There’s a legion of devoted fans who spend small fortunes going every weekend, but since I live in the Washington D.C.… Read more →

My walls are naked because money
So I am basically broke now. I’ve got my eye on several possible wallpapers, none of which I can currently afford. I do have a plan, however. Not for getting more money, that’s clearly impossible. For hanging wallpaper without getting any wallpaper paste involved. And without buying removable wallpaper, which is pricey as fuck. I could paint, of course. God,… Read more →
Great day in the morning, victory is mine
Recently I got word that my request to move to part time at my day job was approved. From now on, I’ll work 3.5 days a week there, and have 3.5 days a week to… be productive in other ways that I need to more concretely plan now. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted — the job… Read more →
Faux show
So, fur. I love it. I mean, not fur that’s been harvested from animals bred specifically for the purpose and which we don’t use in any other way — which is to say, most of the real fur you can buy. That fur is uncool. And faux is totally cool with me.* The thing I love about fur, faux or… Read more →
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
I bought myself flowers yesterday. Roses, no less. This is a thing I’ve always had a weird hangup about: I would only buy flowers for myself if I was in a relationship. If I wasn’t, it felt weird and sad and somehow like giving up. What can I say, the neurosis is strong with this one. Anyway, I was at… Read more →
Still she haunts me, phantom-wise…
I went back to Kingsland Ward. That place is the most astonishing and miraculous reality I’ve ever visited. Before the show on Friday night, I couldn’t stop my hands shaking. The excitement was almost too much to bear. And as the night wore on, I found myself wishing that time would stop and I could just stay in that place,… Read more →
GUYS. GUYS. GUYS.
I’m in Brooklyn for the night. Hitting traffic (as I did, of course, because why not?), it takes about five hours to get here, and I’ll be turning around and going home tomorrow afternoon. Why would I do this insane thing? There are three reasons. One is my lovely and special and marvelous friends Je and Ja, who let me… Read more →
CATS, man.
So I’m dealing with cats: specifically my cat, Lady Door, and my roommate’s cat, Nola. Door (Her Pampered Ladyship) has been acclimating to the new place for about a month, but Nola just arrived last weekend. Door has been restricted to my room, bathroom, and closet while Nola gets accustomed her new surroundings. Fortunately, the bedroom and bathroom are pretty… Read more →
Lamplust
So I can’t keep a tidy bedside table. I just can’t. There are many things in my life I keep tidy, some would say neurotically so. This ain’t one. I post this picture knowing you can view and mock my shortcomings. The reason I post it anyway, though, is that I have a crush on my lamp. It came from… Read more →
A potentially-crippling Craigslist habit is born
I found this chair on Craigslist for $75, with a second similar-but-not-identical chair thrown in for $50. Can I tell you how much I love this chair? It’s my reading chair, and my note-making chair, and my thinking chair. I put the other one in the living room, where my cat has entirely claimed it as her own. (For the… Read more →
