29 Things that made my month (February)

  1. The Good Place finale (not that it ended, but how it ended.)
  2. 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.)
  3. 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.
  4. Seeing Jojo Rabbit and 1917 in theaters — a double feature in one day packed with caramel popcorn and chai lattes.
  5. My little Dumbo growing new leaves. She’s so pretty!
  6. Meeting THE Kendis Gibson.
  7. Going on a pontoon tour. Spotting a teen crocodile (and tons of bright orange iguanas.) And a mossy turtle. And more iguanas.
  8. Roses & eucalyptus gifted to me by my love on the Day of Love.
  9. This opinion piece by Brit Marling in The Times.
  10. Samantha Hunt’s new short story in The Atlantic.
  11. Starting Money Heist, Hunter X Hunter, and Naruto. (Yes, I’m decades late!)
  12. Starting (and finishing) the witty & heartbreakingly brilliant book “I’ll Give You the Sun” by Jandy Nelson. 10/10 recommend.
  13. Not finishing A Woman in the Window. Because fuck terrible writing!* (this is obviously subjective. If you loved it, great! Not for me.)
  14. Congratulations to the new parents!
  15. The Districts’ new single “Velour & Velcro– ethereal and perfect for an indie Logan Lerman movie.
  16. New German Shepherd puppies!
  17. A routine trip to the vet! Counted three very good bois, one good girl and one absolute unit of a cat named Mamita. MAMITA.
  18. Practicing more Blackout Poetry.
  19. Booking my first abroad trip for the year. Hint: shitty air quality but great art?
  20. 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.)
  21. Smoothies for lunch! 10/10 would recommend.
  22. Office potluck with chocolate-chip infused cake, the rightful owner to the better-than-sex moniker (?)
  23. New to Netflix added to My List: Horse Girl, Uncut Gems, To all the Boys.
  24. 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.
  25. *Teen TikToker voice* Not keeping angry ramblings bottled up inside, but inside forcing Instagram followers to read them disguised as poetry, er, check!
  26. 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.
  27. 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.)
  28. 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 😉
  29. That I finally finished this gd list THANK GOD. Hey, it doesn’t have to be good, it just has to exist, right?
