Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. - I Solemnly Swear I Will Never Write Another Late COLLECTED AGENDA Ever Again - I’m not sure if this actually will come out every Sunday, but COLLECTED AGENDA will come out weekly . WHAT I DID Monday, May 27 The drive back to the city from the coast is longer than it has to be because we get turned around on I-95 North after the first rest stop and nobody realizes until we’re almost back in Providence and by then it’s almost mid afternoon. After the second rest stop, the car is full of: iced coffee, sponge bob popsicles, spicy pickles in bag, tex mex chex mix, two hot dogs with no bun but lots of condiments that are impossible to cut with fork and knife, one hot dog with bun, one chicken sandwich, peanut m&ms, oreo cakesters. The sponge bob popsicles are fun, but everything else is actually just pretty genuinely repulsive. Early evening I’m back in the Upper West Side throwing oreo cakesters in the trash of my aunt’s apartment that reminds me of childhood and also of first moving to New York and also of always coming back from the coast when it’s always late May and everything is always this green and humid. Late evening I’m back downtown and then I’m at Sovereign House but there’s nothing really going on and then I’m drinking two skinny margaritas at Le Dive and then I’m asleep by midnight. Tuesday, May 28 I’m walking more and more miles every day. I’m making every effort to walk to the MuuMuu House Dasha Tao Lin Writers Life Tips reading on time, but I arrive at 7:01pm and I already can’t get in the door. I’m standing on the street for a while while my sister goes to Casetta and my friends arrive. Smoking - one cigarette, drinking: nothing, until someone offers me water because I am looking depleted. The sky is all orange because it’s sunset but lots of cloud cover. It’s the best sky color in the world, someone is saying. Remember when the whole day turned orange from the forest fires last summer, someone else is saying. I remember the bright orange sky obviously, and also that there was a plague of locusts that descended on the East River, and that Shannon and I had to run from the Brooklyn Bridge through a storm of gnats and thick red air before ducking somewhat unwelcome into Swan Room . Wednesday, May 29 I’m drinking Green Tea Peach Celsius at the gym and my days are starting to feel so much longer in a way that is so good. I’m getting so giddy thinking about how much a day can hold. I’m working on things that excite me and then I’m reading Toulouse-Lautrec: The Art of Cuisine in Washington Square Park and then I’m getting gelato in Little Italy and I’m getting the minestrone soup at De Gennaro in the rain and then I can sort of see the moon even through the light pollution and storm on my walk home and then I sleep early again. Thursday, May 30 I’m trying to move four blocks over, and I’m dredging up dust I didn’t know existed. I’m going for so many walks and I’m moving the same few possessions up and down the same few blocks in the same sparkly sunshine and I’m starting to forget which day is which. Something I remember about today is that I drank coconut water with MadeOf whipped cream at Happier Grocery . This seems like a place and a product that would be sterile and fake and awful, but it’s actually lovely. Later, I’m at Casino drinking a dirty martini and I’m eating my boyfriend’s leftover chicken and my sister and I keep on running up and down the stairs while she tells me a story in secret, although the jaunt is unnecessary because it’s late, and no one else is here. Friday, May 31 Hot out today. I’m lying on the floor and I’m staring at the white arches on the ceiling and I’m not really helping with the packing situation. Nighttime is a rooftop party but I’m not staying long and I’m walking back alone through Washington Square Park and it’s so late but everything is just glowing. It seems like everyone in the world is in Washington Square Park, but I don’t run into anyone I know. Saturday, June 1 I always worry that things that are new will be sterile and awful but the new apartment isn’t. The new apartment is magical. I’m on the roof looking at both the Empire State Building and the One World Trade Center and a big billboard that says CHLOÉ . I’m looking at the outlines of people’s windows glowing yellow far away, and the outlines of people’s curtains glowing brighter past the fire escapes close by. Later, I’m still on the roof and I’m briefly worried that the planes leaving LaGuardia are UFOs, but I’m only worried for a minute because then I realize they are, of course, just planes. Once I’m not scared, their blinking is kind of sweet. I’m staring out at the skyline and up at the planes, and I’m staring at the Big Dipper too, which I care about seeing even though it’s silly. I’m excited for it to rain because the skylights in the apartment are curved, and I’m excited to fall asleep inside a waterfall. Perhaps an optical illusion, but it feels like I’m surrounded by something good on all sides.
