how do i say this without sounding insufferable?
i kind of hate Nantucket.
i have been in an unbelievable funk since i got here. i have tried to logic my brain out of this depression, which works most of the time these days, thanks to a well-worn and hard-won mental pathway that i can force myself down […]
i am jealous.
okay, this sounds like the oldest tale in the book of sibling relationships. i am jealous of her. it’s stupid that it took me nearly 29 years on the planet to not only figure this out that this is probably most of the root of the problems in our relationship.
what prompted this? she […]
she had me at “pop music will never be low brow”.
i’m trying to figure out how she flew under my radar for so damn long. i tend to be late to the party for most pop culture trends, so it shouldn’t be much of a surprise. for a long time i just thought she was […]
ooof. sorry.
so, what the hell happened to this past week? i don’t know. i’m not going to write about it.

i have questions.
despite my qualms about your host country, thanks to my general unemployment and sloth, i have found myself watching you far, far more than i planned. because of the twelve hour time difference, the really good events are airing in what i call M. Ravian Prime Time: 10 pm to 3 am. and […]
from that winter in harlem, originally uploaded by m. ravian.
