Where We Are
This space is meant to be dedicated to the spaces I’ve inhabited and the things they’ve shown me, though I feel I have held much back. Since my last post about Miami, I have been to Kansas City three times for work. I have been to Scottsdale and Las Vegas/St George on bachelor parties, to Continue reading

Skylines
I write this after things have ended, not knowing where to begin. My friend Jong Won, JW, visited the USA from Korea for the first time since we were in High School. When we were in Korea together we called our old buddy Dane and made grand plans; visit our school, drink in The Twin Continue reading

Plans not kept, mornings unkempt
I laid in my tiny airbnb bed on my ipad, plotting and planning my next steps. I set my sights on Geneva, I could walk down the street looking at the expensive watch shops, take a trip out to the lake and walk and look at the pretty people. So I booked a train ticket Continue reading

Paris Again
I watched Midnight in Paris on the plane and wondered if I was idealizing a different era in my own life. Paris is exactly as I remember and not at all. I learned from at least one mistake, and booked my room for the previous night so I could get into it when I finally Continue reading

Reflections forward and back
I tried to switch to substack. I thought it was time for a new chapter, a fresh start, something more streamlined, to move on from what I’ve had for so long and used so little. I hated substack’s app the website. I felt as if I had betrayed something essential. It was not a new Continue reading

Twilight (Feb 11, 2023)
Ha Giang was the definitive high of my trip. It was overwhelming; days sitting on the back of that scooter and watching it all go by, evenings sitting and drinking and miming with locals at night. Plastic rainproof outfits, crags climbing and descending. The cold swimming hole and the cheap cheap cheap beer. I have Continue reading

Balinese Blues (January 27, 2023)
Yesterday we were meant to go to a beach club called Savaya to see a French DJ with a French guy we met. We woke up to pouring rain, and couldn’t imagine how the show would go on. An hour before the venue was scheduled to open, they posted an instagram story, “Even in paradise Continue reading

Singapore Sling, Bali High, Etc. (Jan 25, 2023)
For about two days I knew how to say “Happy New Year” in Chinese. I’m not even sure if it was Mandarin or Cantonese. Owen is constantly teaching me little phrases in Thai, and I get lost trying to get the tones right. There is no room for other language. We managed to meet up Continue reading

Back in Bangkok (Jan 18, 2023)
We have, essentially, a 24 hour layover here in Bangkok. The first order of business was food, some light shopping at MBK (possibly my favorite shopping place on earth), and pop a shot in the arcade at the mall. Owen dusted me. Apparently he has spent all his time in Asia learning Thai and perfecting Continue reading

Another Cusp
There’s been a bit of a change of plans. Tyler was supposed to meet us for two weeks of hunkering down to work on our various writing projects, but he got an offer to do the costumes on an incredible movie, and the shoot interrupts our planned dates, so Owen and I were open again. Continue reading
