James: Bowling Pin, Or, What Happens on Morphine

In the third episode of "Objects of New York," Ellyn catches up with another drama school pal, James Soller, whose return to the city was like a sitcom plot gone wild. Imagine this: James lands a new job, only to be sidelined by viral meningitis, spending weeks in the hospital. But wait, it gets better!

While confined to a hospital bed, James becomes the ultimate multitasker, securing a new apartment and furnishing it—all while on a morphine-fueled shopping spree. As the drugs wore off, James found himself the proud owner of an apartment filled with furniture chosen under the influence. Join us as we laugh our way through James's whirlwind journey, where hospital beds double as interior design studios and morphine dreams become reality in the city that never sleeps.
