Airports

I love airports because they bring two of my favorite things together under one roof: people watching and “liminal spaces.” The lounge access is also a plus, though they really do be letting anyone in these days.

taking public transit to the airport

you save money, it’s not that bad / kinda nice, and it’s so satisfying once you’re there and get a little airport treat

Curiosity?

Honestly, I love the airport. You’re right about it being a lawless place, there are very few places where you’ll find people drinking beer and cocktails at 9am unjudged and the airport is definitely one of them. I would say it’s one of my favorite people watching places, and I can’t help myself from doing things like noticing book covers and looking up the synopsis of what someone is reading lol.

Road trip movies

I’ve got a big list of road trip movies that I’m tryna knock out. There’s a lot of titular road trip movies I haven’t seen: National Lampoon, Almost Famous, Fear and Loathing, etc. I realized though that if the definition of a road trip movie expands to being about getting from point A to point B, then so many more movies can fit under that. Like it’s not just Thelma and Louise, but like Mad Max: Fury Road, or Brüno. The SpongeBob Movie. I just watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for the first time; that might be objectively the best one.Another related thing I’m obsessed with at the moment: fonts designated for road signage. Highway Gothic in particular is incredible. I’m not crazy about the other font, Clearview, though; a bit too round for me. Those are both the American fonts, though. I just went to Europe for the first time recently, and Transport — the font used for most UK/EU signage — blows both of these out of the water.

Justin Timberlake

The first music I remember listening to was the trifecta of Madonna, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake. I remember being obsessed with all three of ‘em when I was like five years old or something. I’m on a Justin Timberlake kick right now because I had this realization while looking at the tracklist and song lengths for FutureSex/LoveSounds that the first music I was sentient for was kinda weird. That album is weird, like just stare at the tracklist for a second. Like “Medley: Let Me Talk to You / My Love (feat. T.I.)”? “LoveStoned / I Think She Knows (Interlude)”? What was he thinking?He’s also just this default guy, like you’d spawn in as Justin Timberlake. And he’s goofy. I think the reason FutureSex is so good is ‘cause it was just him and Timbaland, like, beatboxing at each other and being like, “Yoooo, that’s hard, put it in.”

Freestyle singing to imaginary girls

This might just be ‘cause of the Justin Timberlake diet, to be honest. Me and my friend Gabby Start were hanging out last week and I think we had run out of things to talk about. We just started freestyling, but like singing as if we were members of a boyband trying to serenade the same girl.Like “Girl, just give me a cha-ance / May I have this da-ance?”
