as winter comes to an end, you should go on a train into the city and turn this on as the skyline comes into view. think about the outro of âdowntown lightsâ for the next week.

The quiet week between Christmas and New Years. Iâve never felt it as heavily as I did this year. Normally at this time I travel and it goes by in an instant. But, in NYC the streets got eerily quiet in places they're normally bustling, and (I know, Iâm hardly a local here) but the waves of tourists made me feel weirdly displaced??
It was like a blanket fell over the city. in a place that normally demands speed and urgency it was suddenly okay to walk slowly. the warmer weather and the rain made me feel like I was inside a snow globe- safe from the outside world and contained. Thatâs how this song feels.
and then on New Years BOOM people were dancing and celebrating the passage of time. fireworks and paper trumpets broke the quiet spell and the bout of wind on January 1st burst into our atmosphere. it made things feel real again.
Anyway here we are back in reality, but for a moment on the M train Iâm back in the snow globe- so thanks Chilly Gonzalez.
Adding a picture I took in this picture as I was walking from the discotheque to Katzâs with Hannah.

đśSuch a beautiful languid song and Chrystabellâs voice is lovely. It has that slow drive in the evening through a crumbling Americana that Lynch seems to embody as well, but in a way thatâs warm and embracing. Like a slow dance at the nuclear test range in Nevada, holding your beloved tight as the warning bells blare and the earth erupts around you.

white chocolate really sucks in most contexts, but not here. people will tell you that all of the chobani creamers are good, which is fully not true (evidenced by the vanilla one) - but if you put exactly a tablespoon of this in your coffee, itâs gonna elevate it to coffee+. itâs almost like the flavor equivalent of a drop of sweetened condensed milk.

I love Moonshine unironically and these are DELICIOUS

My boyfriend bought a used Switch off of marketplace from a random kid in Orange, Connecticut, and it came with a ton of games, including this. It's a stupid amount of fun and the game narrator constantly spits Marvel movie style comedy, which really sweetens the abject horror of it all.
There's one particular ghost character which we call "The Freaky Spectre" because he's got his tongue out. Anyways I'm sure this is a game you can get from a Five Below bin, so you should buy it.
