big day tomorrow
So tomorrow morning at 10am eastern I have a job interview at the UN. Nothing is guaranteed but at least I can scratch of the life list “job interview at the United Nations before 30”.
Shoot for the stars!
good news
Welp, I’m in Italy! I flew into Rome at 6am this morning, waited 6 hours for the Tulane shuttle driver they hired to pick us up. We’re in Bolsena, a very cute town next to a large lake called Lake Bolsena. By cute I mean just an amazing small Italian town. We’re staying in a former convent with a dog named Tipitina’s. We have individual rooms, mine is huge with a view of...

“Observed at Tips- Bunk, Omar, and Steve Zahn on stage, Steve Zahn heard to exclaim “I’m drunk” unprompted into a microphone.”
“Seriously, Zahn is FADED. Michael K Williams is not in better shape.”
“If you ever wanted to see Kima grind on Omar AND Lester Freeman, you really missed your chance by not being at Tips tonight”

– Carl Sagan, on books
There is something about holding an organized pile of wood pulp and dried ink that gives the reader a shared stake in the author’s experience, some small part-ownership of a piece of information. “This is mine, and although the words in it are not, the experience is purely...

lame duck
I ran into papa Dubsy yesterday. There’s a popular lake in downtown Tallahassee that is really just a drainage lake but they put a sidewalk around it, a kazeebo at one end, and a VFW office at the other, and all these local shops opened up and voila, it’s cute. I’m at Black Dog, our local coffee shop thing, and my dad pops in randomly. Tally is kind of big, not exactly small, so...
