The wisdom of... Lyle Lovett?
Basically all I know about Lyle comes from his “What I’ve Learned” interview this month in Esquire. But I like a lot of what I know:
I’ve always thought that writing isn’t really that hard. It’s having a good idea that’s hard.
You don’t have to have anything in common with people you’ve known since you were five. With old friends,...

GQ | Don't Be the Worst: On Crying →
I hope those of you with slutty tear ducts understand that some of us have been forced to become hardened to displays of wild emotion for social reasons, personal reasons, sad commercials, or mean Internet commenters.
It’s important to respect that we all operate on different demonstrative frequencies.
I feel like I could have written a lot of this article, mostly because I am the...

Current new Esquire:human ratio in my apartment
2.5:1, if you count the PDF version saved on my computer.

Winter benefits
Not bothering with blush because the crazy wind is going to ensure you look beyond-flushed after two minutes outdoors
A long jacket on over your weird, Saturday-at-home clothes makes you instantly acceptable to be seen in public

“Your Apartment” is the first song I’m setting loose into the wild from the new album AN UNWAVERING BAND OF LIGHT (out Feb 7th 2012).
Preorder on BANDCAMP (digital) or STORENVY (physical) and get a download of “Your Apartment” nowzers.
oooh luv me some JOY. Stoked for An Unwavering Band of Light. The wait since Transmitter Failure has been too, too long.

Ani Vrabel on Kanye West’s “Runaway” (from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, 2010) (iTunes, Rdio, Spotify)
It has been a year of four ZIP codes in three cities, nine different roommates, six months of storing clothes in a suitcase, and more than 200 nights spent on an inflatable bed. It’s been a year of feeling temporary, discovering new neighborhoods, and cramming my belongings into...

Your New Year’s resolutions are jerks. They just highlight your flaws and remind you that you’re not where you should be. But, hi, newsflash, when are we ever where we need to be? What does that even mean? Like the coked out band Oasis once said, just be here now! Where you need to be tonight is going out with your friends and throwing caution to the wind. Say good-bye to your neuroses and...

“Put party dress on, put party shoes on, zoom zoom zoom, eat!”
– What I reportedly told my mother I wanted to do for my second birthday.

It's the best/worst club ever! →
One of my good friends has started this blog to chronicle her Online Dating Project (with the goal of determining the best and — as seems to be the case most often — the worst of online dating in New York) as well as the unrelated but preposterous events that come from living in the city.
It’s funny. You should check it out.
(I also occasionally make cameo appearances, of sorts.)

cheers to the early-to-mid 20s.
In the middle of October, I turned 29—and noticed a change in people’s eyes when I talked to them about future plans. When you talk about your dreams at 24, people feed on your excitement and gush support. At 29, furrowed eyebrows and hesitancy accompany conversations of this nature, like Age 30 is a window slamming down on your neck as you’re trying to snatch the pie cooling on the sill.
