I have a strong sense of humiliation and a loose sense of shame. I think it’s best not to take things too seriously and the content I love reflects a certain snarky optimism - The Marx Brothers, Buster Keaten, scripts written by S.J Perlman. To me, Duck Soup is the greatest movie ever written.

He wrote for the Marx Brothers (and looked like one). His short comedy prose was jaw droppingly verbose but also laugh-out-loud funny, even to someone reading them a good seven or eight decades past their sell-by date.
The Library of America is reprinting a couple of his classics. Crazy Like A Fox is the place to start.

- watching old Vine compilations on YouTube
- reading funny books like Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison or anything by P.G. Wodehouse (I tend to fancy British humour...)
- see live improv if you can, it's often peak silliness and sitting in a room full of people laughing is good for the soul

at the end of the day its all about love. as most of vonnegut’s works seem to come to be in some form or fashion. theres always a love that drives the story, in slapstick its just more explicit stated- the basis of the story is loving and being loved despite all. and if that isnt nice, what is?

Collette. Zelda Fitzgerald. Eve Babitz. Elaine Dundy. Cookie Mueller (though her writing makes me seasick!!!!). Honorable mention to Nora Ephron for being a great, though neurotic, time.

Listen to me. I have spent years looking for the perfect 501 type light wash denim. I have dumped money down the drain. I've texted ex-boyfriends begging them for their cast-offs. And then? These Thalo jeans. The girlies behind Thalo remade 501s with more butt/thigh room, giving that perfect straight leg but perky butt situation. I have two pairs and since I got them I've worn them every single damn day without fail. I love you perfect Thalo jeans. I LOVE YOU!

When I work I listen to Rufus and only Rufus and only the genius albums Poses and Want One.
