Concrete Jungle Where Dreams are Made

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

So I missed an anniversary of sorts last week. I moved to New York exactly one year ago last Monday. The only reason this occurred to me is that I was walking around the financial district the other day having one of those internal policy debates where I imagine how I would answer certain questions [...]

Painting the Town

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Had another fun night out last night. Despite our very best efforts to go somewhere else, we ended up at The Ritz again. What was cool, though, was that we got to see a live performance by Michael Chase DiMartino, who you probably know from his ASL interpretations of Britney and Gaga songs on YouTube [...]

Where I’m At

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

I’ve found that most cities I’ve lived in, I tend to find a bar I’m relatively comfortable at and return there often, at least for for a while. In New York, that bar appears to be The Ritz. My friends and I have been there on various nights of the week and always seem to [...]

So, Pride…

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Pride in New York was a lot like Pride in all the other cities I’ve been to, except that I wasn’t really in charge of anything. I still spent a lot of time working, though, as I was representing Lambda at several events. Anyway, got to see a bunch of friends, meet new people, and [...]

I Walk…

Monday, May 17th, 2010

The AIDS Walk went well. It really wiped me out, though. Still, a good time was had in the sun, money was raised for a good cause, and I spent a morning pretending I didn’t have to study for Torts. The video is 5 minutes of footage I shot on my fancy new camcorder, but [...]

Follies Fallout and Other Diversions

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Well, it’s been a week since we closed the show and I’m still a bit high on life. I already miss the cast (even though I see a substantial portion of them every day of school). It’ll probably be a while (if ever) before we have official performance clips online, but I uploaded a whole [...]

Does It Have to End?

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Well, the last bits of my Spring Break are here. With a long day of Follies rehearsal on Sunday, and tech rehearsals and performances next week, I’ve got to get all my actual class-related work done tonight and tomorrow. Next week is going to be intense… Anyway, the definite highlight of the week was the [...]

Ides of March

Monday, March 15th, 2010

It’s been really hard to keep up with blogging the last few weeks. Not just writing my own, but reading and commenting on my friends’ blogs, too. Luckily, this week is Spring Break and Easter Break comes only two weeks later. I decided that I would take the money I could have spent on a [...]

Snow in Tribeca

Monday, February 15th, 2010

I’m making my way home after an alumni party in Tribeca. It’s snowing again, gently. I thought I would use this as an opportunity to test my new phone’s blogging app. This city looks so magical tonight.

Snowpocalypse photos

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

In my continued quest to do anything but study for my last final*, I took a walk through Central Park as the snow finally started to come down. It was cold and wet, but pretty. * just kidding, I needed a break – I can only study effectively for so many hours at a time. [...]
