- The Good Place finale (not that it ended, but how it ended.)
- On that note, BoJack Horseman‘s finale (also how it ended, not the fact that there’s a void in my life where the satirical tragicomedy used to fuel my cynicism.)
- Parasite winning Best Picture (and Best Foreign Film, Best Directing and Best Original Screenplay.) Bong Joon Ho making his little gold men kiss. Bong Joon Ho and Taika.
- Seeing Jojo Rabbit and 1917 in theaters — a double feature in one day packed with caramel popcorn and chai lattes.
- My little Dumbo growing new leaves. She’s so pretty!
- Meeting THE Kendis Gibson.
- Going on a pontoon tour. Spotting a teen crocodile (and tons of bright orange iguanas.) And a mossy turtle. And more iguanas.
- Roses & eucalyptus gifted to me by my love on the Day of Love.
- This opinion piece by Brit Marling in The Times.
- Samantha Hunt’s new short story in The Atlantic.
- Starting Money Heist, Hunter X Hunter, and Naruto. (Yes, I’m decades late!)
- Starting (and finishing) the witty & heartbreakingly brilliant book “I’ll Give You the Sun” by Jandy Nelson. 10/10 recommend.
- Not finishing A Woman in the Window. Because fuck terrible writing!* (this is obviously subjective. If you loved it, great! Not for me.)
- Congratulations to the new parents!
- The Districts’ new single “Velour & Velcro” – ethereal and perfect for an indie Logan Lerman movie.
- New German Shepherd puppies!
- A routine trip to the vet! Counted three very good bois, one good girl and one absolute unit of a cat named Mamita. MAMITA.
- Practicing more Blackout Poetry.
- Booking my first abroad trip for the year. Hint: shitty air quality but great art?
- Finding the perfect Zen spot in bustling downtown, tucked away to people-watch and write without being interrupted. A booth, air conditioner and peace & quiet (wouldn’t recommend the dumplings, though.)
- Smoothies for lunch! 10/10 would recommend.
- Office potluck with chocolate-chip infused cake, the rightful owner to the better-than-sex moniker (?)
- New to Netflix added to My List: Horse Girl, Uncut Gems, To all the Boys.
- Plants, plants and more plants. Hopping onto the jungalow trend. Can I keep them alive? Can they fit inside the house? Will they fill the void inside me? Only time will tell.
- *Teen TikToker voice* Not keeping angry ramblings bottled up inside, but inside forcing Instagram followers to read them disguised as poetry, er, check!
- Harvey Weinstein was (finally) found guilty of rape. Here’s the link to all the reporting that broke the story and the brave journalists who won themselves a Pulitzer.
- Finally biting the bullet and purchasing the perfect body wash. The smell is *chef’s kiss*. (although I could only afford the smaller version lmao.)
- Our new air purifier and Roomba got delivered! F*ck you, dust! Who convinced me it was a good idea to move right beside a highway anyway? Kidding. It’s worth it 😉
- That I finally finished this gd list THANK GOD. Hey, it doesn’t have to be good, it just has to exist, right?
