Been on huge memoir kick as I’m currently writing book in the first person. Going to list two here and save this list to come back to.
Always Crashing The Same Car by Matthew Specktor is great book about the guy himself whom I knew nothing about and artistic desperation and ambition focused in Los Angeles. It runs through many stories of The well known and not well known. He would actually be a great person on this app.
The other is the opposite in tone. Just Kids by Patti Smith. A delightful more hopeful and romantic read about similar subject that just makes you feel great to be an artist and like you’re doing everything right. New York and rock n roll heavy. A lot on the Chelsea hotel.

This is a Rec on how to stay sane, not how to get out, unfortunately.
I have been (mostly) unemployed for like almost a year aside from short stints or gigs. it’s been awful awful awful BUT AMC A List became my light at the end of the tunnel, truly.
$25 a month for 3 “free” movies every week. I use it as a treat after trudging through applications or to have something to look forward to. And, yes, you can watch as many free movies as you want on your laptop in your room but having a place to go or a plan at the end of a grueling day is great.

Tickets are $10 cash, $5 beers and $3 sodas, plus a myriad of pierogi joints nearby for you to grab a bite at beforehand.

The whole staff just sang happy birthday to some guy in the kitchen. All the patrons are diner people. At least at this hour. Forks crash into plates and knives scrape butter and jam on toast. It’s the perfect volume. Want to read my book but too content. Want to get pancakes but trying to stay light. Dont want to feel it in my face.

And I want to post it here. It’s tasteful and it’s art. Do I have your consent to post it here?

I brought the blanket and pillows from my bed onto the living room couch. I brewed a cup of coffee and had a bowl of cold cereal. I’m sad from private matters and tired from them too. I haven’t been able to watch sports at home in years. Haven’t had cable since I moved out of my parents. My buddy gave me his youtube tv login and I put on my favorite basketball team, The New York Knicks. I’ve become one with the couch, melted into the fibers and no club soda nor dog piss cleaner will dissolve me out. 3 quarters into this game and I’m feeling a thousand times better about the private and temporary matters which burden.
