Subway Daze :: Small Town Charm, Meet Big City Bitterness: March 2008

http://subwaydaze.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 31, 2008. Things that I have learned about public transportation. Moving to NYC has required me to learn an entirely new system that is constructed of subways, buses, trains, and even monorails at the airport. For my entire life I have driven anywhere I want to go, generally in a cute little economical gas saving device. To say the least.I remain confused, less than pleased, and ready to be sipping tea on the veranda of my cute little cottage which exists only in my dreams. I recently retur...

Subway Daze :: Small Town Charm, Meet Big City Bitterness: As of late...

http://subwaydaze.blogspot.com/2009/10/as-of-late.html

Thursday, October 8, 2009. I have started to notice that I am more often than not absolutely oblivious to the goings on of the subway these days. Why? My iPod. When I first moved to NYC, something about tuning out on the subway seemed almost irreverent and I avoided doing it at all costs. But after over a year of Subway riding, I decided to join the rest of New York and plug in. Tune out. I'm paying attention again. I swear. Posted by Makenna Johnston.

Subway Daze :: Small Town Charm, Meet Big City Bitterness: I went Kindle...

http://subwaydaze.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-went-kindle.html

Monday, December 14, 2009. And I couldn't be more pleased. Partly because I know that where I am headed a Kindle will be a far better traveling companion. Well, my development economist persona is emerging for the next six weeks. This means pseudo-fiction writer persona is going away indefinitely (read: until I get back home). I'm headed to India and Bangladesh to research my graduate capstone project and potential clients for my new social enterprise. Posted by Makenna Johnston. View my complete profile.

Subway Daze :: Small Town Charm, Meet Big City Bitterness: July 2008

http://subwaydaze.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 15, 2008. I began to settle into my life in new york, I slowly but surely found joy in riding the subway, as it was a way to let go of control and read a book.  People watch.  You name it.  . And now I almost look forward to the subway every day.  But I think, in reality, that has to do with the A/C. Posted by Makenna Johnston. Friday, July 11, 2008. So in my very waxing poetic post about nau, I told you a bit about what happened. But guess what? They are back in action! Photo of the Year.

Subway Daze :: Small Town Charm, Meet Big City Bitterness: Regarding Pen Names

http://subwaydaze.blogspot.com/2009/03/regarding-pen-names.html

Tuesday, March 24, 2009. I changed my name on my blog. Why? Because my graduate school adviser suggested I do so. I had planned to publish any work I did under a pen name anyhow. But he googled me, seeking out something I had published and found my blog. He read it with much interest and then suggested that I keep my identity as economic development consultant separate from that of the girl who is writing a book about her life as a new yorker. I decided to heed his advice. Posted by Makenna Johnston.

Subway Daze :: Small Town Charm, Meet Big City Bitterness: October 2008

http://subwaydaze.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 3, 2008. I have been told time and time again to read a little book by a woman named Anne Fadiman. The cover of said book is enough to create envy in me, and yet I had never gone beyond said cover. I have entered more bookstores than I can count, only ignoring the book as it stared back at me from the shelves. This little book changed my life. Or at least reminded me why I am obsessed with reading and writing. The book Ex Libris. Posted by Makenna Johnston. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Subway Daze :: Small Town Charm, Meet Big City Bitterness: August 2008

http://subwaydaze.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 22, 2008. Fight the Good Fight. I've moved again. 7th time in just under a year and a half. I have moved from Colorado to Cambodia. Cambodia to Colorado. Colorado to Massachusetts. Massachusetts to Colorado. Colorado to New York (Manhattan). Manhattan to Brooklyn. Brooklyn to a different place in Brooklyn. Amidst my piles of books and mismatched socks there is a beautiful apartment. 12 foot ceilings. An archway. Old etched glass doors. Its paradise. I Need. Out. Posted by Makenna Johnston.

Subway Daze :: Small Town Charm, Meet Big City Bitterness: June 2008

http://subwaydaze.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 10, 2008. The Things you See on the F Train to Brooklyn. 1 A man holding steamed crab in his lap. Its precarious, he's asleep, and I am convinced that by the next stop I will be covered in the remnants of crab and clarified butter. And yet, as much as it dangles and the claws shake with every movement of the train, it remains unmoved. 2 A pile of destroyed fried chicken in the corner. As if no one would notice an entire KFC bucket of bones. Oh I noticed. And it made me hungry. Subway Daze i...
