24 August 2011
At a regular airport, at a normal restaurant, I waited for a flight to San Francisco with my roommate Kevin. The restaurant was garden-variety airportage, overpriced and vaguely themed. This was a ‘dockside’ affair with dark, wood-paneled walls. Seating in the front, bar…

cityography:
It is the query on the tip of everybody’s lips these days: how can I be an Anthropologie girl? This boutique is Urban Outfitters’ older sister, eating disorder outgrown and T-shirts fully intact; she wears make-up and travels the world instead of riding around the block on her seven-hundred…

A conversation at the grownup table, as imagined...
MOM: Pass the wine, please. I want to become crazy.
DAD: O.K.
GRANDMOTHER: Did you see the politics? It made me angry.
DAD: Me, too. When it was over, I had sex.
UNCLE: I’m having sex right now.
DAD: We all are.
MOM: Let’s talk about which kid I like the best.
DAD: (laughing) You know, but you won’t tell.
MOM: If they ask me again, I might tell.
FRIEND FROM WORK: Hey, guess what! My voice is pretty loud!
DAD: (laughing) There are actual monsters in the world, but when my kids ask I pretend like there aren’t.
MOM: I’m angry! I’m angry all of a sudden!
DAD: I’m angry, too! We’re angry at each other!
MOM: Now everything is fine.
DAD: We just saw the PG-13 movie. It was so good.
MOM: There was a big sex.
FRIEND FROM WORK: I am the loudest! I am the loudest!
(Everybody laughs.)
MOM: I had a lot of wine, and now I’m crazy!
GRANDFATHER: Hey, do you guys know what God looks like?
ALL: Yes.
GRANDFATHER: Don’t tell the kids.

When I got to Sun City Bea and Rob were at were at the bar, behind tattooed women and men with guitars. They were sitting in the shade and their beers were half empty. We drank beer and...

Not crocs.
It was after the big community tree planting at the elementary school that Tom decided he wouldn’t ride the skateboard to work anymore. After the accident with the hole and the child he thought he shouldn’t risk it. The school had said that the parents were “good people” and wouldn’t press charges but he wasn’t sure, it had all happened so fast, and so he...

Autobhan: Conditioning →
One of my coworkers, who is eighty-one years old, grew up in Morningside Heights. I decided to interview her about the history of air conditioning after I spent a traumatic week in an 81-degree office on the 22nd floor of my Midtown office building. I couldn’t imagine how people held full-time…

By far my favorite of his films. An excellent review. The jaguar shark does it to me too.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) is Wes Anderson’s fourth film. It originated as a tribute of sorts to Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the great under sea explorer and ecologist. The Team Zissou uniform,...
