I do this in many neighborhoods but the best quotes have come from the East Village for some reason. You always hear a fascinating range of topics as people pass, but in the form of only a sentence or two. I always find it incredible how much context can be conveyed within such few words.
my favorite quote so far:
“When someone who’s twelve years old shits his pants and you’re the only working staff, fuck yeah it’s fine to get the wheelbarrow.”

Look down to avoid dog shit. Miss everything else.
Look up, step in dog shit maybe, but witness everything.

Sometimes I need somewhere to land with my notebook and pen, a place to consolidate my outstretched self.
My impulse has often led me to areas with verve, culture, and snappy people living impressively.
But lately I've been seeking out the mundane and forgettable spots instead. There's a local grocery with an ugly in-store coffee nook that I like. There, wedged between a display for gaudy coffee mugs, pharmacy bandages, and closeout items, all the beauty and magic is forced to come from within.

scoured the internet for two weeks trying to find a beautiful old danish movie that literally doesn’t exist online.
finally found a comment on facebook that mentioned the movie, messaged the person (a sweet old lady), walked her through the process of burning her dvd into a copy and getting it processed into a digital file to send to me.
It was such an archaic file type that I had to download old software that probably gave my computer viruses but it was the best movie ever and i would do it again
now watching netflix feels too easy
