a24 zine, next to heaven (botm), and the long road, the chronology of water, and die, my love (the strand)
i love the strand. like love love love the strand. it's become my spot to kill time when waiting for friends or my husband. i also love just browsing books on the weekends. i rarely come out with nothing, always a book or multiple books. i kinda went overboard this time but when the books call, i come! i still browse barnes and noble union square but the strand is just so much cooler.
also the virgin suicides was a present from my husband! crazy crazy. teenage me would love i never let go of those girls.
what are you reading rn????

I can be somewhat flighty with my books (reading based on mood) so usually have an extensive currently-reading pile which I’ll work to finish slowly until they’re due at the library:
Sag harbor, colson whitehead
Indelicacy, Amina Cain
Bad blood, John carreyrou
The other Americans, laila lalami
Fear of flying, Erica jong
Travelers to unimaginable lands, dasha kiper
Once I’ve worked through those, id like to read:
james, percival Everett
The premonition, banana yoshimoto

take ur time!! let the city flow through you slowly. i moved to nyc and it took a YEAR for me to find my feet. it's scary and big and annoying and new and it will get you down but keep trudging forward. always explore, search for local stuff like on meetup, smores, even insta. it's so so so worth it. and even if it doesn't feel RIGHT, enjoy the adventure for now :)

work lunch is this $17 'bedford ave' smoothie with vegan protein and sea moss gel. very west village coded. the vegan protein is so strong in flavor but not too bad. and don't worry, work covered the cost of this one.

when i went to italy by myself, i had cell service but barely any internet. i drove around northern italy all week with only the music i'd had downloaded on my phone and melodrama was the only album i had. this song (and the album) always meant a lot but in the context of me driving around italy in the countryside by myself... it means even more.
