Here’s something that renters everywhere, especially ones in New York can relate to. On Thursday, the spout in my bathtub fell off and won’t screw back on. I cannot shower without that as the water just comes out the bare pipe. The part that prevents that is in the spout. I immediately texted my landlord. […]

Let’s see if I can write this fast and get my day going. I’m behind schedule but I think it might be more important for my mental health to get back to writing before breakfast even if that means not eating breakfast until 12:30. I just had an idea and if I wait, I’ll probably […]
Give me the Al Gore environment award; I went the first day of the heat wave without using AC. My prewar building deserves some of the credit. I rushed to put the AC in the window and didn’t need it. By the time, the heat wave is over I’m sure I will. The building has […]
I’m late getting to blogging and I haven’t gone shopping yet but I did get some work done today. I edited out a snippet of John Platt’s On Your Radar to post on Instagram and YouTube. I am still getting better at that. Instagram has a glitch when I post videos I can’t change the […]
I love when I’m reminded how much I love something, yesterday it was peanut butter omelets. I need to make them more often. Oddly, they work best with fake peanut butter, the kinds you don’t have to mix. In all other cases I prefer unadulterated peanut butter without sugar or emulsifiers. I used to call […]
Yesterday’s highlight was the performance of one of favorite holiday rituals, the Tannenbaum defenestration. This was only my second time observing the ritual. I’m Jewish, I might sing Christmas carols, but I don’t do Christmas trees, but I live with someone who does, and I enjoy second-hand Christmas. My roommate is Christmas Tree Orthodox, the […]
We had an insurrection yesterday, an American Beerhall Putsch. I will address that, I have to, but let me calm myself first recounting my day. I had a pleasant morning, during breakfast, eggs Horvendile, I watched The Expanse, the best show on TV. Last Wednesday I forgot to watch. Yesterday I watched as soon as […]
I’m being good and writing even though I’m not inspired to write. Being a pro means performing on demand. I once read in The Straight Dope that was the defining talent for male porn stars. I said “porn” so now more people will find this via googling. Back when I was on Diaryland I knew […]
I’m concerned, writing first thing in the morning used to be so easy for me. Now early afternoon feels like an accomplishment. I used to be able to write fine without coffee. I’ll blame COVID-19. It’s not COVID-19’s fault but I know it won’t sue me. The vaccine will give me immunity. I made an […]
I had another day sleeping too much and another day where my tummy isn’t right. I suspect those two things are correlated. I’m seeing my GI in a few weeks and I’ll ask him about it. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about, I’m here to talk about the draft. No, that’s Arlo. […]
