Nonono. I never post here anymore.
Haven’t you learned?

Oh my, it’s been ages.
I promise to start again soon, I pledge it.
In the meantime. There’s not a lot to say.

“l’ennui”

I’m not happy here at home. I keep messing everything up as soon as I take a breath from bathing or napping. It’s not even stagnation, it’s regression.
But even though I hate Plath, most of the time, this pretty little poem makes me feel warm inside.

And look…a scan of her copy of The Great Gatsby.

Blogging from inside “The New School Occupation.”
They’ve turned the cafeteria of the GF building into a public space, pushed all the tables off to the side of the room.
Kids are painting banners on the floor, played music from their laptops, sipping whiskey from flasks.
A crowd of supporters in on the street out front, yelling and [...]

I just finished the first draft of my play.
I’m so disgusted with it’s flaws, that I don’t think I can look at it for a week.
But I have a draft! A skeleton of potential.

But here’s the problem: past work is never enough. At a certain point, it doesn’t feel like a part of [...]

Although two of my finals are total throwaways (Buddhist regurgitation and five-pages of rambling prose about art and war), I’m actually working on three projects I care a lot about. for school! yes!
One: my play. My first full-length, the first thing in a year that broke that awful self-consciousness I have about my work. I [...]

Oh, I know, I never write here anymore–but I’ve been caught up in the turns of life.
Still, I want to note that what initially started off as an awful-terrible-no good-very bad day suddenly brought to me the sweetest of surprises.
And even though I have to spend the next two weeks typing like crazy about god-knows-what [...]

I’ve reached this wonderful point in my college career where every single one of my assignments resembles procrastination.
Which is why I get to spend my afternoon having much-too-much fun with street views on Google Maps. In place of actually leaving my house with a camera and taking photographs of all of Bed-Stuy’s religious manifestations, I [...]
