Eat, Work, Read



Have I really gone there, reader? I dare say that I have. The Primo Levi bio is too heavy to lug around in my purse, and In Search of Lost Time has acquired a permanent home on my bedside table, my pre-bedtime mainstay. After finishing Indivisible By Four, which I devoured in a frenzy on subways and park benches all across the city, I looked at the copy of Eat Pray Love, that untouched edition that stares at me from my roommate's bookshelf across the room every night, glowing with temptation... I looked at it straight in the cover, and decided "Why not!" Under 300 pages and easy to digest have become the new criteria for my subway reads... Like Weezy once, twice, lots of times said, I'm going in.

Unrelatedly, my new favorite word, which in many ways sums up the first half of my summer, is reprieve . Elaborating on that doesn't have a place on this blog, but applicable to this postponement-o-sorrow and this sorting out of my reading system is that great question I'm trying hard not to forget, Why make things harder for yourself?

About Me

My Photo
I'm an LA transplant now living in Manhattan. I used to take too many camera phone photos despite never having purchased an additional memory card. That was the main form of photo evidence for my "haciendo" and "viendo" until Kristen, an LA based friend I share the having of a knife tattoo behind my ear with, gave me her old Fujifilm camera, which has since DIED. Kristen is now removing her knife tattoo from behind her ear, while mine is still in tact, for better or for worse. The camera died on my first day in Lisbon. The last image it captured was a collection of traditional blue & white ceramic wares displayed in a storefront window. Whatever I was trying to photograph afterwards wasn't worth it. I write and produce film projects, have a dangerous predilection for vintage Robinson Golluber scarves and this blog serves as a window to everything else I do when I'm not satisfying those first two passions. I'm trying to blog more and tweet less @annabelleqv. What about you?
