Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. Itβs 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 playβ¦ What else could you ask for?Β

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 π

i like carrying a digital camera whenever i go out because
1) it's so handy, like you can just put it in your pocket,
2) you get to have this vibe on your photos in an instant, and
3) there's this delightful, brief moment of waiting before you can post the photos you took, unlike being able to immediately access your phone's photos on insta for example.
the process is just great, much like taking photos on film (but that's another rec)

i've always kept receipts, packaging, tickets, and other similar things in a box. for memories and other stuff like that. most of the time, its tucked away in some corner of my closet.
recently, a friend recommended to me that i should start a junk journal, and i did, and i think i've found a different way to perceive all of the different printed papers i have with me. the pieces of junk have found a soul.

actually saw it twice in cinemas because i just had this urge to see it again, and good god. everything was just.. terrific. from the cinematography to the sound design. i also didn't expect the soundtrack to work over some of the dialogue, but it did. how amazing.
so electric. hot. fun. toxic. definitely a film i'll be coming back to from time to time. it lingers in all ways.. it's actually an experience
(also tashi and art's scene with pecado playing in the background.. that moment i knew it was so over for me)
