All Roads Lead To Rome
June 14, 2025
If you’ve taken hopper flights before, you already know, that it’s a smaller plane (in Europe, usually Ryanair) that loads from the parking lot and you have to go up a flight of stairs to get into the plane. When flying from Malta to Sardinia, someone helped me carry my suitcase up and I’m able

Malta
June 4, 2025
The journey continued from Sicily to Malta via ferry. Because of my cane and fractured foot, I was escorted through security and they didn’t scan any of my bags. Gee, I guess if you want to smuggle drugs to Malta, just be handicapped. The ferry from Sicily to Malta is under two hours and is

Sinking in Sicily & Fractured Foot
May 29, 2025
Part I: The Flood When I decided I was going to go to Italy, Sicily was one of the top places I wanted to see, since the Palminteri’s are fully Sicilian. And when it came to be that I would be doing the trip solo, I decided I wanted to see, for the most part,

A Long Trip To Somewhere
May 24, 2025
There is always a line at Starbucks in the airport, which I never really fully understand. I mean, I’m a tea drinker anyway, but I never want to be caffeinated on the airplane. In fact, I want to be so subdued, that if the plane went down, I would only know post crash. And it’s

In the backyard at a long time friend’s house, I crack a beer. It’s a beautiful day. The sun shines on the now blossomed trees. My brother arrives with my nephew, Blaise. Blaise runs up to me with a wad of singles, throws them at me and yells, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU HAMSTER” before giving me

Conversations With Boyfriends Past
May 9, 2025
“What’s it like?” “What’s what like?” “Being beautiful. Does it hurt?” “I don’t really think about it. Honestly.” “I’d just stare in the mirror all day long if I was beautiful.” “Gross. I mostly avoid mirrors. You wanna smoke a little weed?” “Do you need to be high to enjoy my company?” “I need to

Sad Violin
May 4, 2025
A string trio plays in a mostly empty room, save for an elderly couple and an even more elderly pair of women, plus a bartender in the back. There’s a lovely display of untouched food the bartender stares at with longing. It goes on like this for almost an hour. It’s not a full bar,

Uber Princess
April 28, 2025
After doing my taxes (to be fair, I just put together receipts and my sister does my actual taxes), I really tally up where all my money is going and it’s no wonder I’m perpetually broke. Nothing is really more shocking to me than the fact that last year (2024) I spent $4000 on Ubers.

Don’t Pass Me By
April 21, 2025
I’m unsure if people in other states do this, but as a lifelong New Yorker, I can attest to the fact that almost everyone here thinks Spring used to exist, but doesn’t anymore. The collective mindset of New Yorkers is that there are only three seasons. That New York goes from a long and brutal

Bad Habits
April 15, 2025
The week ends. The week begins. Your phone, which is your most loyal companion and the demon on your shoulder, tells you how much time you spent looking at your phone last week. It’s disgusting. You’re disgusted with yourself. You wonder what you could have accomplished putting that time into ANYTHING else. And yet. You
