Best Shit of 2011
I’m not cool enough to do a Top Albums list, and I’m not informed enough to produce a worthwhile news recap of 2011. But I’m feeling reflective today, and as I prepare to get smashed and tell 2011 to go fuck itself tonight, I find myself wondering: what do I take with me? So, I’m assembling a list of the Best Shit, generally, of 2011. Here’s to hoping there’s...
Alexa: you look like someone with your hair like that… Who’s the androgynous one with the thin, drawn-on eyebrows?
Me: are you trying to say I look like Tilda Swinton?
Alexa: no…
Three hours later, Alexa: Dietrich! Marlene Dietrich. You look like her.
Me:… Have you ever watched one of her films?

It’s hard, growing up. Breaking your own promises to yourself. All the things you said you’d never do…
I’ll never smoke a cigarette, you said.
I’ll never cheat.
I’ll never understand fiscal conservatives.
Never sleep with two different men with nipple rings.
Growing up is hard.

Home (not, Avenue).
Being home in Portland this week has been fairly glorious, I can’t lie. There’s something about the not-schoolness of it all that’s pretty damn wonderful.
Of course, my parents are lovely and we have a dishwasher here and there are better bars in Portland and childhood friends and on and on and on. There are used CD stores for miles and the shining beacon of Powell’s...

LISTEN,
voice inside my head,
I’m clearly going to listen to Fall Out Boy and look at tattoo blogs all night, so just embrace it. Stop judging me. Let it happen. 2006 was a really great year.
Matzo ball soup and texting my sister in Jerusalem.
Things just got Jewish up in here.

If you want to support a charity while buying some holiday gifts, I suggest you click above and look into the Pirate Store, whose profits benefit writing programs in San Francisco schools.
If you can’t do it for the kids, then do it for the pirate supplies.

On 'Gifts for Good'
On the one hand, I like the spirit and simplicity of the idea: give a gift to someone on your list and also to a charity at the same time. You’re shopping already, so why not do more? Buy a product with meaning behind it. Buy a product whose cost will in some way fund charitable work.
But on the other hand, instead of just roping charity into the consumer frenzy that is the holidays,...

Long December
I just realized it’s December. As in, the last month of the year. This week alone feels like it’s been a century.
This year I watched some of my best friends graduate from college.
I fell in and then out of love with somebody I thought I would marry.
I travelled by foot, car, bike, train, motorcycle, and plane.
I produced two films.
I travelled outside of the country.
I spoke...

The Sassy Lady's Bar
It’s December, which means two important things: first, my semester is nearly over, which is lovely; and second, it’s cold and dark and miserable outside, which is awful. What’s the best way to be both celebratory and mournful, joyous and disconsolate? By stocking your bar, obviously. Ladies and gentlemen, in honor of this most festive and gloomy of months, I present to you the...
