Last night, my mom asked me when I was planning on moving home. Not “if,” but “when.” And it made me realize something: One day, I’m going to have to leave New York City (presumably because A. I’ll run out of money B. rocking pit stains to work in the summer will stop being cool or C. The 2nd Avenue subway line will never get completed, and let’s face it, that’s really what’s keeping me here). I can’t imagine how anyone could possibly adapt to move away from the most captivating city and blend (back) into a life of just meh. I’ll be leaving this …
for this …
or worse …
How do people acclimate to leaving an overgrown jungle chock-full of the most ridiculous people in the world for a neatly trimmed hedge of normalcy? When you’ve become one of the New York deviants, how the heck do you go back to The Gap? This isn’t a rhetorical question, I’m seriously asking how people cope with leaving Manhattan, knowing wholeheartedly that there’s not a single city out there that can even compare, and what’s worse, you’re no longer a part of it?
It’s like ending a marvelous relationship with the most brilliant person in the world to go date, oh I don’t know, a club promoter.
At least there’s free booze.
Update: No, I’m not moving :)

I think this is the world Ben lives in.

They don’t happen because I’m always on high alert. But actually, living in New York for nearly three years, I can say with confidence that they sorta do happen.

“The floral-and-tough look of Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes on “Seinfeld” is this summer’s downtown inspiration.” — New York Times
I want to go to there.

Just finished reading Committed. Finally.
After going to see Eat Pray Love last weekend, I was motivated to push through and complete it. I can’t really say I was convinced that she’d made peace with marriage. Rather, she just went ahead and got hitched (well, if you’ve read the novel, then you know it wasn’t really a “went ahead,” but more of a “returned from an unwarranted exile and did it under a sort of bureaucratic gunpoint”).
It’s a fascinating read, chock-full of more historical data “justifying” Western marriage than one could ever require.
So yeah, I liked it.

After a 4-month hiatus, I sucked it up and went back to boot camp. Even though I’ve been working out, I was way out of shape.
My triceps completely gave out during single arm plank dumbbell row (just so you know, I feel like an a**hole writing that). Like, literally gave out.
Someone needs to invent the Coffee Before The Coffee. This morning, a half-asleep lady (me) brewed an entire pot of … wait for it … water. How’s a person, who obviously cannot function without their first cup, supposed to be able to survive? If only there was some sort of pre-coffee coffee.
Or, I could just set the timer.
