No Reece Today

The movie didn't happen this afternoon. But you will be happy to know that I will be drinking this evening with a number of 30-ish year-old Brown grads. Looking forward to it.

My mom just called. Asked me if I had just woken up. Then asked me if I was writing. And I thought to myself, hmmmm, I haven't written yet today. Well, there's the Annie Lennox post but that doesn't count. I finished my journal yesterday. And so I need to go buy a new one. That prospect excites me. So when my mom asked me if I was writing, and I wasn't, I decided to. So here it is.

There is something outside that keeps popping. Like a loud bang. It's happened twice now, and I'm realizing how it is really getting to me. I'm gonna head in to Manhattan to read some Foucault and write my story. And buy a journal and a pack of cloves. And a triple cappuccino. MMMMMM.

It's kind of hot today after being really nice yesterday. I just sat out on the roof for 20 minutes or so with Paige. It's amazing how quickly my skin gets darker. No tanning salons for me.  As you can tell, I have reverted to just rambling again. Bear with me, as I have a couple of more things to mention.

The summer evenings in NYC, Brooklyn specifically, are producing something I have never seen before. The first time I saw it was last Sunday evening. It ended up being a bright spot in what was a pretty emotionally confusing night. Fireflies. I've never seen them before. And I've seen at least one every time I've been on my roof. They're so cool. They light up green. Crazy stuff. The other thing I wanted to mention is more like a confession. A "coming out" of sorts. It's going to be hard for me to say, but I think once I do, I'll feel better. I love the "Gilmore Girls." There. It's out. I feel better.

I forgot to record it the other night and I definitely feel as though I'm missing something this week. I'm missing all sorts of things but "Gilmore Girls" is definitely one of them. The good news is that there is also "Gilmore Girls: Beginnings" on Sunday evening. And since I don't have HBO like everybody else seems to, I have to rely on the WB network for my fix. Ok, now that that's out, I can move on. So I will stop here

When gender and sex identity is up for discussion at Walgreens

I took a trip to my friendly neighborhood Walgreens tonight for a few necessities: antibacterial soap for my new tattoo, deodorant and a multipack of tampons. I took my goods to the cashier and enter my phone number in the hopes of saving some pennies on my purchase. Naturally, my name pops up on th

Goodbye, Mom

On October 27, 2012, I had to eulogize my mother. It was one of the worst things I've had to do in my entire life. By no means is it, or could it ever have been, good enough. But I did deliver it that sunny Saturday afternoon, sandwiched between a baptism and a wedding. I decided to share it publicl
