WRITTEN IN THE NOTES SECTION OF MY PHONE ON A TRAIN HOME FROM NYC ON MONDAY:

“Today I spent a day in New York for the last Monday of my internship. The last three and a half months have been, in a word, lit.

During my train ride into the city I sat across from a couple who clearly still liked each other. He poked her a lot and she lightly tickled his forearm. It really freaked me out. He often stuck his fingers into a newly forming hole in her jeans and smirked sensually at her. She had a phone case that featured a cat floating around in a galaxy and he had a cat button (pin?) on his hipster backpack. I guess they like cats. She was wearing *red* lipstick that was then echoed in her men’s button up t-shirt that she wore, open, over yet another button up shirt. It wasn’t oversized, it was regular sized and I can’t, in good faith, say it was chic. He wore a light gray t-shirt which was *risky* in this 100 degree weather. I stared at them behind my two-tone blue sunglasses so I’m like… pretty sure they could tell. The woman next to them had a fake blue Prada bag :/ the guy next to her was very nice to look at.

I found a pic of the case online...

Hey, kids.

So weird I posted 2 days ago but here I am once again (did you MISSSS ME?!).

Remember on Monday when I mentioned 3 mosquito bites perfectly aligned across my back? WELL Monday night I was editing music while watching Real Housewives of NYC and a mosquito zoomed past me in slow motion with its legs delicately dangling beneath them. It freaked me out so much that I made the face to the right. I then proceeded to follow the mosquito across my kitchen and then exterminate it with my seven-dollar flip flop I bought at a janky TJ MAXX when I got a blister working in midtown. 
Picture
​The insect exploded and my soft-gray accent-wall suffered the consequences. Tragic. I’m not saying it was THAT mosquito that gave me the ellipsis branding on my back but by the looks of all that sangre it’s leaving me with little room for doubt.
Last night I went to a stand-up comedy night at my local performance center and let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like bad comedy. I wanted to, in a word, disappear. There’s something about people trying to be funny and failing that makes me suffer from such terrible second-hand embarrassment that I’d rather sink slowly into the ground and vanish into the depths of the Chamber of Secrets. Actually if we’re being honest I’d visit the Chamber on my own for purely academic reasons:

  1. I straddle that fine line between Slytherin and Gryffindor (@Harry) and want to see if I’d be accepted as a friend and enemy
  2. I am not afraid of snakes (@Dr. Jones) and would like to see about putting a leash on that basilisk and training it as a form of Uber transportation
  3. I’d like to find that GAPING HOLE in the ground that Fawkes found in order to fly everyone out of the Chamber, send up red sparks from my wand, and say to whichever professor found me “excuse me, but was this hole not a dead giveaway?”

I feel like this post has taken a weird turn… whatever, that’s my update.

Hey, kids.
 
This morning I am annoyed. I was casually enjoying my Instagram stories this morning when I came across something that was extremely problematic. After watching the first few clips of a KKW Insta-story, a new clip began with Kim asking Kendall to repeat herself and Kendall saying something to the effect of “I’m worried you aren’t eating,” only to have Kim laugh it off, Kendall to say how skinny she looks and Kim to passionately thank her.
 
IIIIIIII have a couple of questions. No, actually, I don’t. I just have something to say. Having someone accuse you of not eating because you look skinny and then saying “thank you” is something... we have all probably done. I’m not going to pretend to be a politically correct angel because we’ve all likely done it. The PROBLEM is posting that exchange to your 114 MILLION followers, most of whom, I assume, are women. The message that this clip sent to her followers is that you need to look like you are starving yourself in order to receive a compliment on your body… that people need to express concern over your health in order for you to be beautiful. Am I being a lot? Am I off? Am I taking this too far? Regardless, I was FLOORED that someone who I actually really admire would post something like this publically.
 
Moving on…

Good morning, kids.

Let me start by saying this: I saw Taylor Swift last night at her third night at MetLife and *it* *was* *magic* LITERALLY pure magic. This woman didn’t miss a damn beat; whether it was singing on her journey from stage to stage or throwing a random verse of one song into a completely different one, she is the absolute master of surprise. Also, our seats were riiiight next to one of her alt. stages which left us within, maybe, 15 feet of her and, let me just say, that woman’s skin is FLAWLESS. The rain held off during the show until the finale, when it started down-pouring during the last chorus. You don’t know sensory overload until there are fireworks going off, rain is coming down, and Taylor Swift is giving you literal song therapy.

Moving right along… I got a new microphone for the purposes of doing my own recordings and it hath rocked my world. I sent a demo of my next single to some frenz and they agree, my last mic was trash and now I’ve graduated to the big leagues. Moral of the story is: stay tuned for a new bop. It’s a love song… ugh.

THAT’S MY (very musical) UPDATE!

Hey, kids.

I was in Europe for two weeks and didn’t have access to a computer (lmao poor me) so this is my first aggregated post in SOME time. Here’s what I learned in Italy: one dresses one’s salad ONLY with oil and vinegar, one must ask specifically for ground pepper, one must be mindful of one’s footwear whilst walking around and, finally, one must eat all the tomatoes one can before returning to America because DAMN. In London it was a different story: iced coffee is crap, tea is amazing, Harry Potter studios *will* make you cry (unless you’re heartless idk), Harrod’s is like no other shopping experience on earth and vinegar is best suited atop fried cod and *chips* (aka fries but who am I to say for sure).

IT WAS AMAZON PRIME DAY earlier this week and I bet you’re thinking “she’s a fashion-y girl, I get she took advantage of the sales.” Yes, kids, yes I did. But plot twist, my purchases had nothing to do with fashion. What did I get? A microphone and a laptop stand. That’s right, angels, I’m about to sing my heart out while ALSO being heart healthy and not sitting on my rear all day, everyday. Amazing. So healthy.

Finally, yesterday I learned that tea stains your teeth just as much as coffee. That feels unfair. Whatever, that’s my update.

I have already posted this week but LISTEN sometimes we find a lot of internet things and want to share them with the world. Ok first of all, Boz (aka my Silicon Valley idol) is leaving Uber for Endeavor. That was big news because she was only at Uber as the Chief Brand Officer for a year but she’s a badass and can do no wrong in my eyes.

Next, Demi Lovato came out with “Sober,” a new single which we all think is going to be the headlining single for her 7th album (but also like she JUST came out with Tell Me You Love Me last September so like is she writing songs like the wind or…). If there’s a new album coming soon then someone hand me a Polar seltzer and encourage me to take deep breaths because she moves me. More importantly, though, the song is leading fans (myself included) to believe that after her 6 years of sobriety, she has slipped. Demi has yet to comment on these assumptions but all of us are sending her LOVE and tranquility.

Also, James Kennedy from Vanderpump Rules just remixed Countess Luann’s “Money Can’t Buy You Class” and I can’t breathe lmao. AAAAND lastly, I finally watched “Girls Trip” this week and I “hehehe’d” through the entire movie. Tiffany Haddish has perfect comedic delivery; don’t even argue with me.
​

That’s my update.

Hello children, this weekend I watched "The Kissing Booth" and I rolled my eyes during the entire movie but then proceeded watched it again the next night... and the next night. Also, I watched Iron Man 3 twice and have determined that it is the best Iron Man film. That's my update. Here's what else I liked...

This week I began the re-launch for the JBD site into something that felt more... me. For the last 2 years I followed a path that felt disingenuous; pretending to be the kind of blogger I just wasn't. Maybe this version of the site won't feel like me in a few months, but it feels right for now. Thank you for following along.

Take a second here to visualize this, because although it is a basic fact of life in ‘the Hamptons,’ it is truly astounding — every toilet and shower and bath from the Shinnecock Canal to Montauk basically flushes into carefully crafted holes in the ground. Read about it now in Issue 2 or on our website.
