yesterday i saw a young man walking to the subway in Grand Central Station wearing a fedora. it was classic, suave, and masculine all at the same time. and it used to be the norm. i wish it still was.

i probably should have put this up before/on valentine’s day, but i was busy. anyhoo, this has provided ENDLESS entertainment since early college. i would recommend you don’t put your coworker’s names in. and then tell them how compatible you are. in front of their spouse. especially if that number is higher than they are.

what you find when you clean out your email →
this was an article about Richard Yates i emailed to myself last year after reading Revolutionary Road. the book (and movie) floored me with its unapologetic realism, tragically flawed and approachable characters, and its ability to be incredibly complex within its simplicity. i think i sent it to myself as a way to remember other books he wrote that i should read, but then forgot. perhaps by...

wahooweek photos

welcome to wahooweek
it’s wahooweek, named by me because i’m in virginia for work, and spending the majority of my time in charlottesville, also the home of my alma mater, the university of virginia. like most people, i have mixed feelings about my time here. there were some ridiculous aspects; for instance, were so many pink collared shirts on boys really necessary? no, they weren’t. and our...
