A brief and surreal visit to the Trump Hollywood. The view from the picture widows is so gorgeous that at first, it’s all you notice. The sprawling condominium — white floors, white walls, white ceiling — opens in a glass rectangle over a white balcony that frames the ocean and sky, two strips of rippled [...]

Headaches
Well past my tenth hour of reading through discovery materials and depositions in the State Attorney’s Office. And lo, this gem: Q: Okay. Now, at that point, does he go into describe to you what the plan was for what was going to happen next or? A: I don’t know if he told me at [...]

A Hard Day at Work
I had a hard day at work yesterday. It wasn’t hard because of the usual overthinking and annoyances. Not because I had to call somebody I didn’t want to, and somehow ferreted that unmade phone call into the part of my brain that thinks about friendliness and being accepted rather than the part that knows [...]

Over the past month I’ve been following the story of Charles Harper, who went before Broward Judge John Bowman as a young foster kid who was forbidden by the court from seeing his mother.

What I have been doing
Blogging, interviewing, wild-goose-chasing people like taxi drivers and low-level bureaucrats, accidentally being a member of three gyms at the same time, getting my apartment just-so perfect, more blogging (feed the beast, ya know), pitching features, and finally, writing my first feature story. It’s definitely more of a “story” than an article. They won’t tell me [...]

My New Job
Sorry for the silence on the blog and Twitter since Colorado—I still need to put up a post on the humongous copper mine all the way back in Utah. But I’ve been busy getting myself hired. Now I’ll be writing 50,000 words a year of long-form narrative journalism, pitching any topic I choose, not to [...]

Moving Out
Originally posted on July 26, then removed so as not to alienate potential sources during my final weeks of employ at the Mercury. Reposted August 12. I decided today to finalize my plans somewhat: I’m moving out of my apartment on August 31. It’s too big for me, really, and I’m tired of living on [...]
