Not the tube, not the train, the DLR is an "automated light metro system", according to the internet. Without doubt, the best form of transport in London. I extend my trip to and from work by like 20 mins just so I can ride it. It's kind of like going on a rollercoaster that never actually goes fast. I have seen children have transcendent experiences riding it. I have had transcendent experiences riding it. The train is DRIVERLESS?! The best bit is going through Canary Wharf when the sun is setting - the way the light hits all that glass and steel...I am absolutely CONVINCED Caroline Polachek got most of her inspo for her most recent album by riding the DLR.

Ok it’s way more expensive than it should be (even with a railcard) but it’s cool that we can just get on a train and go pretty much anywhere in the country. No focussing on the road, no finding somewhere to park. Trainpal is good for cheaper tickets. Might get the metro to the coast this weekend…

Taking the train is a great way to get around. Some people think that the train is god’s answer to underwater currents. Naomi and I are riding the current all the way baby.

Digitised DVD commentaries from films when they first came out. David Fincher on Gone Girl. Richard Linklater on School of Rock. The list is endless, and so much fun if this is your thing!

The way she marries All American girl-ness with this intrinsic depth/soulfulness. She's always had it - it's why BRING IT ON goes so hard. Her Architectural Digest also shows she's just a nerdy little weirdo. KD is the best.

By fetishising youth, we refuse to accept that aging and death are an inherent part of life. If we don't accept that, we don't get to experience its fullness. Aging is cool.
