It has reached a point where l see everything as a photograph. Walking down Canal Street, I mentally nudge a performer's head just a few inches to the left. I warm the light on an upturned face. There's blue drama when earrings stroke a proud cheek. Norman Rockwell chuckles at a corn-fed toddler with a finger jammed up his freckled nose ( Read more... ) -

Finally...
After all these years of forced cohabitation, I have fallen in love with Florida. It's not a blind sort of passion--her warts are far from subtle. The strip malls. The concrete. My neighborhood is an awkward photoshop; the clone stamp is very poorly applied.

I would wear it as perfume, this scent of rustling pages and old words. Eau de nerd, bookworm's pheromone. I want my room to smell like this. I want my life to smell like this. A serene haven.

...Cue "We Are the Champions..."
I got the job! I got the job!
...What job, you ask?
**puffs up with pride**
I am now an Apple Creative!
...Hey! What do you mean you have no idea what the hell that is?

Please don't think I underestimate the extent of my good fortune. You are far and away the best thing to happen to me in a long time. So it may seem callous that I'm about to indulge in unabashed exultation at your expense. Please bear with me.
I do sincerely regret the fact that, no matter how vivid the reality, your perception ( Read more... ) -

I have finally figured out why I bother dyeing my hair.
It isn't for the change in hue. I have finally reconciled myself to the fact that, no matter what vivid promise I grab from the drugstore shelves, the end results will be the same. Whether I aim for the farthest reaches of rock star red or gentle my way toward a hippie-hued copper, I ( Read more... )
