I had last Friday off work, and I decided to really treat myself. First, I spent my early afternoon in Greenpoint where I got a mani-pedi (something I haven’t done in years), and a yummy brunch across the street; walked to our favorite stationery store (Yoseka!) and got some little things; took the train to 8th Ave in Manhattan and walked south to the West Village; sat at the Stonewall Memorial for a bit listening to music; went to use the restroom at Stonewall where I stayed for a beer (and made a friend from out of town!); walked to the IFC Center to watch ā€œArmandā€ (great Norwegian film); finishing off my day with an easy dinner at home. Best day ever in a long timeā¤ļø

I make a solo run to the city every month or so. Usually for a concert, last time was to see Stereophonic (absolutely destroyed me). I find it almost meditative, cathartic to just walk the city without much of a plan aside from the main goal. I think I ate some sort of wrap from a corner store last time. It was a matinee show so I got out and was able to walk until everything ached and I felt better. It always breathes some life back into me after suffering the claustrophobia of home.

I first shaved my head in 2017 because I wanted to do something bold with my body, something I had considered for 2 whole weeks before just doing it. Now, I haven’t cut my hair since November 2024 and my hair is in the pixie stage. When people, usually women, ask me about cutting my hair, I always tell them to do it at least once because it’s so liberating to reclaim your body in a very obvious but temporary way. It’s also nice to not worry about extensive care and maintenance. I’m not sure if I’m going to like having long hair again, but I’m going to give it another try.
