There’s nothing quite like sitting in front of a laptop, a blank page staring you in the face, and the feeling of fuck-I’ve-been-a-terrible-blogger flashing all around you. My desk is 42nd Street and my negative thoughts are like the billboards of Time Square, blinking “TWO MONTHS OF NEGLECT!!!!!” and “GOOD LUCK BOUNCING BACK, LOSER” in bright, neon colors. It makes it far easier to snap shut the laptop and the feelings, ignore it all. I worked in Times Square for several years after all, I mastered the art of shutting that overwhelming shit out.

It’s the oldest blogger cliché in the book world wide web: “Sorry it’s been so long since my last post!”

So what have I been up to since my last post?

1. Well, lots of Christmas stuff, but that’s ancient news now that it’s mid January.

2. I went to San Francisco to see my folks! (Because there’s no place like home for the holidays.)

This is the view from the roof of my childhood home, that’s the Gold Gate Bridge!

3. Caught some California beach time with my bestie.

As you can see by our outfits, it’s not exactly warm even in San Francisco this time of year…but still pretty great compared to frigid NYC.

4. Saw some weird shit on the city streets.

You all know how much I love finding bizarre, random sights on these city streets. HOW WEIRD are these heads!?

Flowery garbage! A new trend for spring?

5. Still haven’t found a therapist…

But I’m working on it and not feeling discouraged. A huge thank you to everyone who reached out to me about my struggle here. It meant a lot to me. From where I’m standing (sitting) right now, I actually am doing better.

6. As I’m no longer focusing on acting these days, I tried out a new kind of performing art…

On head rush later, swiftly decided SHOWTIME! dancing isn’t for me. (If you ever find yourself in an empty train car….don’t pass up the opportunity.)

It’s a whole new year since my last post!

A perfect time for fresh starts. Well, no. The perfect time would have been January 1st. But this blog has never been, and will never be perfect. That would be boring AF. So here I am, January 14th, proclaiming NEW YEAR, NEW YORK CLICHÉ.

For some of you…it’s actually been much longer since my last post.

My email list shut down in September, during the month-long craziness of my move to Queens, and I just couldn’t handle the technical thinking required to get it back up. Until now! Finally! Hello amazing subscribers I love and adore! I am so, so, so sorry I neglected you. Here are a couple posts you can binge out on if you missed me. Really, I’m just so happy to be back in your inbox.

I’m back on the blog wagon friends (this mythical wagon looks exactly like the SeaGlass Carousel in Downtown Manhattan, FYI.)
