Packing

Right now I feel like I say too much and too little at once. The things that eat at me aren't my things to talk about or share, but they hurt anyway. And when something slips out I immediately feel like I've said too much. Like saying anything is a betrayal.
This isn't even about one thing. This is about when I talk about any of the things in my life that involve other people. Everything. What

Home Design

I'm not Martha Stewart. I know that may be confusing for most people, but despite the similarities (female' That's kind of it.) I am not her. And therefore I do not have her talent for all the various types of home making that exist.
In other words, I need help. ?At the risk of outing myself and ruining my half-assed attempt at anonymity, below are a couple room designs. If anyone feels so

Pulled the trigger

Well, I've done it. I've found the holy grail of New York living: an affordable, rent stabilized apartment. And I've moved into it.
See below for a window to window comparison:
After, in my (as yet packed up) one bedroom
Before, in my small basement studio
Those windows say a lot. Everything is bigger. Everything is brighter. And I'm still trying to get used to it; it feels too big

To leave or not to leave'

I've been looking for a new apartment in a kind of half assed, lazy way for a while now. I figure when the perfect, amazingly priced gem of a deal falls into my lap I'll be ready. Those kinds of deals, as everyone knows, are many and frequent in New York. But regardless, other than the fact that my apartment floods periodically, I had nothing really pushing this potential relocation other than

I just put toothpaste on a cut thinking it was neosporin. Sigh.

Heat Wave

It's 100 degrees in Brooklyn right now, but it feels like 104. This isn't me being dramatic; weather.com says it feels like 104. Yesterday when I checked it was 104, felt like 113. That wasn't even the high, that was solidly in the late afternoon. In other words, my wish for some sweltering weather has been answered, about four months late. Thanks, February.
Not that I'm complaining. While it

Cutest Fat Cats Ever
From Imaginary Compass, 7 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
My cats like to coyly flop over to get their bellies rubbed, and have perfected the art of doing this. It's a little ridiculous, but they are seriously cute. They're such hos. Also, I had to look up how to properly spell the plural of 'ho.' For you. Exhibit A:
I mean seriously. And usually it's both of them.
Now that I've distracted everyone (*crickets*) from how rarely I update this thing,

Glass Half Full

I've been feeling a little bummed lately. Mainly about the same stuff I normally beat myself up about, nothing really new. I'm just down that I'm now in my late twenties and have this tiny little studio I'm crammed into. Down that I don't make more money. Down that I'm in a (in many ways great) long term relationship that doesn't seem to be heading towards marriage or kids but just towards

World Traveler

I think this will be the year to travel to places I've already been. I'm planning on visiting Florida and have already taken a (kick-ass) trip to Italy earlier this month. I lived in both places for quite a while, so I'm not really going as a tourist so much as to visit friends and family.
Of course, I also took a little two night detour while in Italy to visit Morocco (Fez), which I haven't

Winter = 2 cats curled next to me on sofa for warmth.
2 cats on sofa = Cute
And yet Winter ? Cute.
