recently took a break from my never ending loop of watching sex and the city, and binged the entirety of hbo's hacks.
when im in a fragile state of mind shows like satc tend to worsen my mood as i just find myself longing for the character's livelihoods. bedrotting watching carrie bradshaw work a 15 hour work week and frolic around new york in 1000 dollar dresses is not always soup for my soul.
this show was a nice break from that as i have no desire to live in vegas or pursue comedy. no envy in my body! just hyuks! sometimes! it is also kind of really corny at parts! but i still thoroughly enjoyed!
really easy watch. everything i liked and didn't like about the show clicked for me when i found out it was created by a lot of the same people who worked on broad city.

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

i aim to be as contrarian as possible when it comes to men-music (i do not enjoy sharing interests with that of men. sue me.) and have gone most of my life without hearing a single song from any of the "classic" bands.
last week while biking i gave in to spotify's recommendations and heard this song for the first time, come to find out its one of the cure's most popular songs of all time 🤣🤣.
but wowwwwwwwwwwww. life changed. brain re-wired. ailments healed. needless to say i am obsessed.
and just like that........... i have started to broaden my spotify horizons (1/10th of the music in my library is now allowed to be occupied by men).

it is crazy how a chinese restaurant will never disappoint. i may be biased as i am half chinese, but there is literally no better cuisine in the world.
good chinese, shitty chinese, any chinese, it is all always delectable. it cannot be fucked up.
sitting in a chinese restaurant will always make me feel at home cause no matter where you go they all feel the same. questionable cleaning practices, staff that take a billion years to catch the attention of, and a seemingly endless menu of the most insane food on the planet.
long live chinatown.
