  1. "I want to spend more time with you, so I'll hop on your train & go as far as I can go in the city before turning around." -- a keeper.
  2. Stopped to stare at a dead sparrow. Was tempted to take a photo & manipulate it into my book cover. Then decided against. Ideas please...
  3. Nothing better than a downpour that begins after I am tucked into bed. Favorite lullaby.
  4. Naked fruit juice with 32 grams of whey & soy protein. Smart water. Vegan spicy miso kale chips. Blackberries. Toxin-free Friday night.
  5. One word: bikram.
  6. Don't fight a baby for his candy. Apply this metaphor liberally. You'll suffer a lot less of that "I want to punch people" feeling.
  7. Rock bottom was the best thing that ever happened to me. Stick it out when you hit rock bottom. That's what becomes the dream catalyst.
  8. "Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you." #gameofthrones
  9. Watched the first episode of Game of Thrones (at D's request). My takeaway: Northern Inuit Dogs. !! Want. Badly.
  10. Thanks @Sugar_theRumpus: "We both know & cannot possibly know what we’ve yet to make manifest in our lives" bit.ly/kfAgRt @The_Rumpus
  11. Here's a life-changing tip for people/orgs that hire freelancers: give HARD deadlines from the get-go. Not "asap." Not "first week of May."
  12. Dear park, bird, sun, God, green: hoping for a poem before tackling unpaid, non-poem writing assignments. #productiveThursday
  13. In Central Park. Laptop, sparrows. Green and sun. On my bench, a memorial plaque + this: "When the whitest cloud passes just wave 'Hello.'"
  14. ME: I had another heart-to-heart w/our office cleaning lady today. @KarissaChen: If your life were a sitcom, she'd be a regular cast member.
  15. The real deal: RT@caesura I've been helping maintain @TongueJournal & our Tumblr tongueoftheworld.tumblr.com. Follow us! & get ready for Issue Two.
  16. In the last 6 years, I [d]evolved from believing that Fossil watches are expensive to frolicking with people who wear $9,000 watches. #NYC
  17. Thanks, Dirt Brown! Excited to watch this when I go home tonight. RT @DirtBrownMusic youtube.com/watch?v=vIEHY6…
  18. At age 18, I learned this at my sales job: if you have to tell a client "no," follow up immediately w/a positive "yes" solution. #lifeadvice
  19. To the many of you who have offensively poor written grammar: you're in luck! — via a dear friend: 9gag.com/gag/4327230
