Pillar Box Red in Magical Realism

What time did you wake up this morning:
A bit before 8am. I didn’t have anything until 10am and was up past 2am the last 2 nights working. It’s that time of year again!

Is there anyone that could make your day if they showed up at your house?
I’d love it if A showed up at my hotel right now, it would be unexpected but would love to see him.

How old was the last person you rode in a car with?
Hotel picked us up in a car from the airport, the other passenger was a female, I’d guess around 25? The driver kept asking us questions, she’d answer first and then he’d ask me, but every single time we had the same response so it was kind of a weird conversation.

Do you have big plans for the weekend?
Not really - I get back early afternoon on Friday, hope to have lunch with A before he leaves for his canoe trip, then I will work from our midtown office. Plan on going to gym after work, 5:30pm HIIT class then yoga from 6:30 - 7:30pm. Then I am having drinks with 2 of my girlfriends, hopefully somewhere in the West Village so I can drop off my stuff.

Saturday I will probably go to the beach to see my swimming friends, then maybe library on the way home and yoga in the afternoon.

Sunday I want to meet my friend D at the gym for HIIT class and then supposed to do something with my mom, maybe brunch or Casablanca is showing at BAM.

How long have you lived at your current residence?
I bought my apartment in November of 2005 and have lived there since with the exception of July 2008 to August 2010 when I lived in San Francisco.

When was the last time you were up at 5am?
Tuesday morning, 5am wake-up call to pack and take car to airport for early flight.

What was the last movie you saw in theaters and who did you go with?
Trainwreck - thought it would be fun but it was not. Went with A.

When was the last time you went bowling?
December 6, 2014. Photographic evidence.

Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon?
On the way back from Vegas, maybe 2010?

The Eiffel Tower?
Yes. Although I go to Paris a lot and have only been once I think?

The Great Wall of China?
Yep - ran a marathon on it in July of 2014.

How old were you in 1999?
19 or 20

How many funerals have you been to this year?
None on 2015, my dad’s in 2014

When was the last time you spent a night stargazing?
I spent a lot of time looking at the stars during my Lake Geneva swim, especially in the 2 hours between when the moon set and the sun came up. They were so bright. The only time I’ve seen brighter stars was on Kilimanjaro.

Are you taller than 5’6”?
Yes, I am 5‘10

What were you doing last night at 10pm?
Working

Do you have a favorite pillow you always sleep with?
No, I’m not too particular

When was the last time you slept in someone else’s bed?
Other than a hotel, I think the last time was in Siberia in December…my roommate was supersick and I crashed in my Belgian friend’s room - there were three beds in the room but I think I took his actual bed and made him crash on the other one. Typical.

Are there any candles in the room you’re in?
No.

If you turn around, what is behind you?
Bed, chair, window, lamp, tuffet

Would you dye your hair hot pink for $50?
Temporarily sure

Do you know what you’d have been named had you been born the opposite sex?
Devon

Where was the last place you spent more than $50?
Room service dinner Tuesday night.

Are there any buttons on the clothes you’re wearing?
No, it’s a shift dress

How about zippers?
Yes, zipper down the back. I hate dresses with the zipper down the side. What is the point? You still have to put it over your head, I like to step into them.

Are your fingernails painted?
No. I go for ages without nailpolish on fingers and toes, but sometimes will get on a mani-pedi kick. Almost always red or black.
