How to Make Out in a Camaro

I walked so you could run. — If you are an American, someday you will go on a date and be asked to make out in a Camaro. You must say yes, because it’s the the law and you love your country. It’s like the draft, but for everybody. No one knows when that day will come…

Notes on Our Collective Mental Breakdown

We need help. — I don’t think it’s up for debate that we are in the midst of a collective mental breakdown. If there were any lingering doubt, the photos of Will Smith dancing at Oscar parties after he assaulted Chris Rock has removed it. Did Will’s publicist just walk off the job? Probably…

A List of Mistakes, in No Particular Order

There are a lot — It was a mistake to sell my apartment in Brooklyn. It was a mistake to come back to Los Angeles for a boy. It was a mistake not to swim through a magical underwater tunnel in Kauai, that led to a cylinder-like rock formation with a ceiling to the sky…

How to Become a Bed Creature™

This is the life hacks of all life hacks — I hate it when people give unsolicited advice. For instance, yesterday an old friend walked into my house for the first time, and told me to get rid of all my books because they made the place looked cluttered. “You really like books, huh?” she said, staring at a small…

Schrödinger’s Loneliness

I’m lonely but I’m also not — Wikipedia explains that Schrödinger’s Cat “is a thought experiment that illustrates a paradox of quantum superposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical cat may be considered simultaneously both alive and dead as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.”…

The Sybarite Newsletter: Charlatans Everywhere

If someone promises you a quick fix for psychic pain, they are lying. — Apologies for the delay in getting this newsletter out, I’ve been busy wanting to die every time this guy waits a day or two to text me. I thought this was both funny and tragic, so about two weeks ago I wrote “Cause of Death: He Didn’t Text Back.” Most…

The Sybarite Newsletter: Atmospheric Rivers and Aspirational Love

In which we explore the great outdoors, and the hunt for how a person should be. — Greetings from Los Angeles, where we await our next atmospheric river. I love those two words together, atmospheric + river, so much. The weather people (whoever they are) are revealing themselves to be secret poets. Speaking of secret poetry, I’m almost finished reading a piece in The New Yorker that…

Cause of Death: He Didn't Text Back

If he doesn’t text you back, you will die. You can only manage the symptoms. — If you are beginning a relationship, and he doesn’t text you back, you will die. This is also true if you are in a long-term relationship that is crashing in slo-mo. It is a metastatic, fatal condition. There is no cure. You can only manage the symptoms. Here’s what happens…

The Sybarite Newsletter: Issue Six

We can do hard things — This newsletter is going to be short, because last week I suddenly flew across the country for a funeral. I don’t need to tell my fellow Sybarites that airports and modern-day flying are the opposite of Sybaritic. …

The Stunning Ordinariness of Death

I went to a funeral, and I couldn’t stop focusing on the mundane — My cousin Sam died on Thursday. On Sunday I flew to Virginia to attend his funeral, because Jews waste no time getting people into the ground. Someone asked me why we do it that way, and I had no idea. I thought that flying to a funeral would somehow make…
