I listened to Ashokan Farewell as I made spaghetti the other night. Made life briefly feel monumental yet quaint, like a road movie.

Specifically, In the Shadow of the Valley By Bing Nathan, Don Burnham, Rick Dougherty, and Chuck Aronson.
This twangy, heart pulling classic has been heavy in my current rotation. I live in NYC but am from the Wild West, so this is the perfect jam for my late night commute home on the J. Makes me feel like I just spent a long day hearding cattle in the city (I have). Also, itās fantastic for a brooding, forlorn 22 year old woman that longs for a love sheās never known with a strong, stoic cowboy.

I shamefully I only recently discovered Blackfoot even though Iāve listened to different genres of rock my whole life. However, when I find something new it makes me appreciate it even more. Itās like unlocking a new file tab in my brainā¦it just does something special!

This is long because itās the one thing I bought off an IG ad that has actually been life changing. For years I wanted a dumb phone to fight my phone slash online shopping addiction, but I didnāt wanna lose maps and a good camera and the iMessage āechoā effect. This does that. My Brick lives on my fridge, and once I tap my phone to it, any app I havenāt whitelisted is blocked. And you can block anything. Even the calculator! Which it deservesā¦after I blocked the obvious ones like IG and shopping, I realized how addicted I was to *information itself*
Occasionally, Iād need to Google something of import, butĀ Ā mostly, I used it to scratch my gnawing, itchy brain. Iād habitually fact-check conversations as I had them, to look up interior photos of the restaurant Iād soon be going to, to search, for the hundredth time, whether fish can feel pain.Ā So anyway I blocked Chrome and Safari and it was nuts. I canāt really get stuck in my bed in a phone hole because the phone fun dries up real fast. I have to just.. get up? Read a book? Incredible. When I do unbrick, usually because I need to do promo for my book, I feel feral and off leash, I turn into a zombie ipad kid, and itās sobering but makes me glad I have something to stop it. Itās nice being able to purchase a personal quality that you lack.Ā Ā

I donāt like having lots of pill bottles displayed on my bathroom shelf or nightstand. My pharmacy doesnāt even use the iconic orange ones, and besides, it all feels a bit too Girl Interrupted for a woman of 33.
To find a pill box that could hold multiple bottleās worth of pillsāthat also wasnāt ugly and plasticāI had to find boxes not meant for pills. Ebay has tons ofc, and all you need to do is get the measurements and find a velvet jewelry organizer insert thatāll fit. There are a billion.

A mastery of physics. A shape that serves exactly one purpose. Itās singular like a ringing crystal glass. Itās stubborn like a key. The arguments for and against a shoehorn are exactly the same: itāll make each day just a little easier. It offers a frictionless on ramp to the rest of the world. You don't need to gnash your heel into your shoe, you don't need to pause and sit and lace and unlace. You can just slide into the shoe and out the front door before you even have time to think.
