I took a break from reading Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner to read this.
(I was on a long waitlist at my library for this book, so I had to pick it up!)
I knew going in the vibe of the book going in but I definitely didn’t expect the narrator to be obsessed with Whoopi Goldberg and her pussy as much as she was….but all in all it was an interesting read to say the least.

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?

Made a WhatsApp group with all my film friends in it and have been using it coordinate going to screenings. It's so much fun! There's loads of little independent screenings happening where I live and some very good independent cinemas, but even if all you have is a TV you should start a film club too. This evening I'm off to an old pub that's been converted into an events space to watch The Garden by Derek Jarman 😎

One of the best Mockumentary films ever, and definitely one of the funniest. AND THE CAST IS AMAZING!!
Young Kirsten Dunst, Young Amy Adams, Young Brittany Murphy (RIP) and the middle aged powerhouses Kirstie Alley (RIP) and Allison Janney….literally can’t get any better!!
Praise aside, there’s a moment in the movie with the drama geek contestant, recites a revised monologue (something about Soylent Green) that mentions “2024” and I think that’s so cute and awesome that on a random watch, little things like that could pop out at anytime.
