survivor

“isn’t that just a trashy reality tv show?” NO. reality tv yes but trashy absolutely not. Survivor is the ideal of the Genre all other shows strive towards. there is a reason that we are on season 47 (!!) right now and it’s still EXCELLENT jeff probst is the best most passionate host for a game show ever, he’s invested in what he does and in the game. the show is funny and entertaining and human and engaging. the show has been doing “social experiments” since before every reality show decided to call themselves “social experiments.” basic premise of the show is that players start out on a tribe where they are competing against another tribe (or tribes, depending on the season) in challenges. every episode the tribe that loses the “immunity challenge” has to vote someone out. THEN once the tribes are small enough, they “merge” and then everyone is on one big tribe and it becomes an individual game with individual immunity challenges. alliances from the early part of the season may stay or may not! it’s just the best reality show and it’s got heart and it’s got soul and it’s entertaining as hell. please watch it. best seasons are probably Heroes vs Villains and Cagayan so that’s where i would start if i were you. you’ll be quoting jeff probst before you know it. i grew up on survivor and rediscovered my love for it as an adult and you all deserve to experience this, too.

survivor

So, it has come to my attention that Survivor, the island survival reality tv show, is IN right now. Which is fascinating to me, because I grew up watching Survivor with my mom. She has seen every single episode over the course of the show's 20+ years. I watched maybe 10ish years of them with her. This show is great for some reason, always has been. Go ahead, watch a season or two. I associate this Heroes vs. Villains season with the most carefree part of my childhood.

Survivor is the game of games and I wish to play someday. It’s also my favorite TV show and I watch it almost every night.

cool aunt

my sister just had a baby and i am considering the type of aunt?/guncle ? (the designation becomes tricky w gender lol) i may be. but ultimately the archetype of “cool aunt”—mysterious, distant-yet-warm, uninvolved in family dramas, arrives at family gatherings wearing strange, somehow stylish clothes, bearing copious gifts and floating on an air of urban life—resonates most soundly with me this has also led me to reflect on how my mom’s sister played such a key role in my  youth by revealing to me a foundational truth that this is not all that there is! ‘twas a very hopeful message to me, a miserable child/teen unsuited to christian suburban life, forced to procure my wardrobe primarily from the women’s section at the department store because that is what my mother deemed reasonable (and kohl’s cash)  some of the notable moments my aunt bestowed upon my adolescence include: • taking me to see moonrise kingdom at the indie art deco theater in a nearby mountain town  • driving me to philly for shows at tla even though she had no idea who the artists were and would stand in the back; also paying for all my meals and whims on our south street jaunts • curating a collection of signed books from author visits at her local library, which she’d always drop off nonchalantly as gifts (charles santore picture books, lemony snicket !)  • signing me up for 5ks and carting me along to her races • explaining to me what a “lesbian” is and taking me to meet said lesbians in a dimly lit new york restaurant where i tried alligator sausage and felt so urbane  • general trips to ny for broadway shows and museums   • introducing me to rummikub • letting me roam free at community music festivals from late afternoon til dusk, where i’d encounter children from different counties, get in harmless trouble and infuse my life with the intrigue of those unknown to me but in those brief moments
