Projections during dinner parties

I really enjoy cooking for people I love, and throwing a dinner party that runs late.  A good playlist is key, but if you really want to set a tone, I highly suggest projecting a film (without the audio) to sync with it.  My personal favorite is “Le Planet Sauvage.”

Dinner by candlelight

its romantic & sets an intimate mood. everything just feels softer and sexier + I swear the food always tastes better. Equally as enjoyable solo imo too.

Hosting dinner parties with your friends

A restaurant around the corner from us started doing private dinners, and with my wife’s 30th birthday happening I asked to see what the process would be like. We packed 14 of our closest friends into this gorgeous, tiny little refurbished car garage filled with flowers and wine and Italian music and proceeded to have one of the best five course meals of my life. Moments like last night sort of get you in a “maybe this is what life is all about” moods. There’s an artist I like that said all of life’s essence & purpose can be found in the sound of wine glasses clinging together at a table filled with good friends and good food. I think that nights like last night cement those sentiments as truth.

listening to david bowie’s album, young americans, while smoking a joint out of your APARTMENT window on a sunday afternoon

It’s like the week’s ending credits, or whatever.

If you can afford to: Hiding out in a small boutique hotel

Pick a place with a claw foot tub and a small, kitschy bar. Bring edibles and a journal.

17 – Adore by the smashing pumpkins

17 seconds of compassion 17 seconds of peace 17 seconds to remember love is the energy Behind which all is created 17 seconds to remember all that is good 17 seconds to forget all your hurt and pain 17 seconds of faith 17 seconds to trust you again 17 seconds of radiance 17 seconds to send a prayer up 17 seconds is all you really need This is the poem that was included in the liner notes for this song. The song is an instrumental that’s literally 17 seconds long and I feel that the whole album needs to be listened to in order to fully take this last song in. Adore is about loss (the loss of a mother, the loss of a lover, the loss of friends and collaborators) and the process of carrying on. Corgan says in his poem that “17 seconds is all you really need” to find that peace after loss, but is it really? What if more time is needed? 17 seconds is short. This song is short. The abrupt end is too jarring. Abrupt endings in life are too painful and it leaves you thinking, “What now?” Well, 17 seconds is all you’re going to get because life moves on. Shit hurts, but you have to move. on.
