Who am I?
Boy, good question. I’m still working on that.This is a works in progress. I’m a works in progress.
Should you know New York, you know the changes…like them or not. I’m not a fan of change (re: Peter Pan). Yes, we know places close, dark times ensue, cities rebuild. Yet, the air is oddly different in New York.
In the words of Thomas Wolfe…perhaps you just “can’t go home again”. Still, one can pretend. Through my observations, I attempt to make sense of change, even in the mall-like atmosphere, which currently grips the City.
Girl: Kate Donnelly is a writer, cultural enthusiast and photographer. She worked in the New York film world for ten years (@ New Line Cinema and Revolution Studios). Earlier stints include the Clinton-Gore White House, the American Film Instituteand the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. She’s published pieces for Daily Candy and interviewed director Alexander Payne for The Believer. She’s in the midst of find a home for her article with Dr. Robert Millman on Acquired Situational Narcissism. She sailed down the Amazon River in 2000 and recently traveled to Barcelona and Argentina. She doesn’t know how to properly dive into a swimming pool but still tries. Loves (in no particular order): Pearl Jam, New York City, New York Yankees, Cape Cod watch (want to buy it but don’t believe in time), Kansas City, dog Eddie, man Nico, the smell of garlic and olive oil and her mom’s red sauce (an old Sicilian family recipe). One day, she will surf.
She’s currently working on her first book about a band of fallen rock n’ roll stars.
