It occurred to me the other day that I haven’t sent out a missive in a while and while I did start this as a monument to the dissolution of my own ambition and perfectionism, it does feel like writing one newsletter a year is a little lax even for my newly laxy lax lax standards. It’s giving smooth move tea. Anyone who has ordered a custom playlist for me knows I have a loose relationship with time (Rome…not built in one day bitch but also I’m sorry and I am working on it and also them) and honestly with my chaotic approach to “work” it’s a literal miracle I produce anything at all, let alone an incredibly detailed Ken Burns esque music docu-pod (do NOT ask when Bandsplain is returning, I find it triggering…it stirs up my ancestral trauma).
Anyway all that musing to say here I am and maybe here I will be more often. Who can say! Everything is fake. I think I also promised at least three people I would send out a list of all the books I read for last season and I will…one of these days.
You know what I do love? When people say “my new thing is…” This is a beautiful declarative statement that can work like an incantation if you don’t abuse it. Or just a totally banal self-centered talking point. In both spirits…
My new things are:
being bad at my phone. returning texts hours…days…in some instances weeks late. have been waiting to reveal this information to my therapist and am expecting great or at least faint praise!!!
raw local honey. I eat like 4 tablespoons a day in various scenarios (in yogurt, in smoothie, on figs, straight no chaser). it helps you metabolize alcohol!
wine (again)
having a clothing moth infestation (this one was sort of against my will, trying to make it chic, calling it my infestash, etc)
the television program Suits (if you are involved in anyway in the Suits reboot it is my dream and wish to appear in a small cameo please I implore you to bang my line)
going “live” on instagram (should I do this more? in a scheduled way? should I have guests? should we throw a party? should we invite Ziwe?)
the new Fontaines D.C album
updating this more! maybe!
I feel like a nice weekend vibe is a combo of the Fontaines song “Favourite” and this jam (Thank you to Chloë who I do not think gets this email for putting me on):
Has anyone looked as cool as Johnny Marr in this video? Not many mate. Not many.
