Sleeping Around

Inspired by the writings of my wicked smart funny friends Jesse Seret (Perfect Calm), Trish Deitch (Distant Dock), Jessica Schickel (Chagrin and Bear It), Jen Sincero (Hey Little Bad Ass), and Janine Schulz (Oiling of a Rusty Mind), and encouraged by people I’ve met here and there, I will now commence the blog. Maybe just about beds. Maybe about other things too. But the beds are a constant. I’ve been keeping record of every mattress, hammock, waterbed, and couch I’ve spent the night on for some time, as many of you know.

Not every bed makes it into the bed collection. Sometimes I forget to take a picture. Once my computer was stolen on a night train in deepest India and I lost an important year of photos. Sometimes the beds in which I’ve slept would cause too much of a stir if made public, so. But there are lots beds in the bed collection. And stories behind each one.

If beds bore you then there is still some hope for us having a blogger/reader relationship. Let’s see how it goes. I’m only about 80% comfortable with this set up and welcome your input.

Love and kusheln from my red velvet bed in Berlin,

Noa

Lake Lodge, Dambulla (January 23-27, 2012) — It hit me as I climbed onto a local bus in Colombo that I was free, I was on vacation. No one knew where I was exactly. At the airport a man needed $15 US for his visa so we traded some money and that’s all I had in my pocket. I bought a coconut and some cashews and started off on the 5 hour journey to Dambulla. This is where Rinpoche is shooting his film, Vara, with a huge cast and crew. I am writing about the whole experience for Tricycle Magazine’s May issue. In the meantime, I was lucky to share a room with Lucinda at the Lake Lodge. It’s a beautiful hotel with just 6 rooms. Nanette was upstairs, Chime next door, Pawo on the other side and Rinpoche in Room #1 and cinematographer Bradford Young above Chime’s room. I had a blissful week visiting the set, interviewing people, sharing meals outdoors, swimming in the clean pool.  . I like polished cement floors. I like sliding glass. I don’t mind a monkey in the tree. If it can be this good now, it can be this good forever <tm the Bachelor)
