Water Water Everywhere…. “Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.”

An extended version of Bon Iver’s La Blogotheque Take Away Show of “For Emma, Forever Ago” with three versions of the song and some very startled tourists. I think this is one of my favorite things in the whole world. Not just that the song is so beautiful, and is so beautifully sung, but that [...]

The Flight Out (It will probably take you as long to read this as it took me to travel it.)The Friday before last, I flew out to California for my grandmother’s 90th birthday. It went a little something like this: Had to leave my apartment at 4 AM to make an 8:10 AM flight in Long Island, so didn’t go to sleep at all. Waited for subway for 15 minutes before panicking and going [...]
