what i am listening to: the passion pit, chunk of change
photo of the week:
my brother, two of my closest friends, and i walked to brooklyn on the coldest day of the year. while we might have frozen our noses off, the photos were worth it.
website discovery of the week: www.thekitchn.com
movie rec of the week: while you should obviously catch up on the oscar nod movies, my honest movie of the week is he's just not that into you. it is cute, heartwarming, and wonderfully truthful about the neuroses of dating.

this week!

what i am reading: inés of my soul [isabel allende]

what i am listening to: mgmt, time to pretend

photo of the week: 

i finished up my travels and have headed back to pursue some sort of real life! this picture makes it up as my photo of the week because this pursuit of a real life has consisted solely of apartment hunting in new york city. maybe i should just live in this news stand shack.

lyric: i'm gunna quit my job and move to new york

cuz someone told me that's where dreamers should go

i'm gunna quit my job and move to new york

and tattoo my body with every broadway

last thing i wrote in my journal: the what is not so important, but that we should remember. it is the act of remembering, the process of remembrance, the recognition of our past... memories are small prayers to God, if we believed in that sort of thing....

this week!

what i am reading: everything is iluminated

what i am listening to: joshua james, b-sides it's dark outside

photo of the week:

i have been traveling, so it was pretty difficult for me to choose my favorite photograph this week. i chose this one because it is closest to how i feel... standing in an art museum, nose in a book, while the rest of the world blurs by.

last thing i wrote in my journal: (from everything is illuminated) i used to think [writing] was what i was born to do. no, i never really thought that. it's just something people say. [perhaps you were born to write?] i don't know. maybe. it sounds terrible to say. cheap. it's so hard to express yourself. i want to express myself. i'm looking for my voice. i want to do something i'm not ashamed of. [something that you are proud of?] not even. i just don't want to be ashamed.

song lyric of the week: once upon a day i set off on a journey, wishing on the wind- take me far frm home. now i'm on the waves and i'm taking on water, hard to see i won't always be alone.
