Happy Friday!
This week was a busy one.
I had a friend in town, who was visiting New York (and the US) for the first time. So, naturally, I took it upon myself to make sure she loved New York most out of all the cities she visited on her trip, and ate as many delicious foods as possible.
As a result, the thing I’d *like* most on this rainy/sunny/oh no it’s raining again/oh no there’s a fog advisory/oh okay now it’s sunny Friday is to be in reclining mode.
But before I go, here’s a look at everything else I liked this week.
Aaron Jackson’s show, I Read
If you’re not already on the Aaron Jackson & Josh Sharp train, get the fuck on, babes. Jackson’s show at Joe’s Pub, in which he reads excerpts of his hilarious essays and short stories and pairs them thematically with some of his favorite songs, which he covers himself in his beautiful angelic voice. It’s a can’t miss.
Unfortunately you actually did already miss it because it happened on Tuesday. It was a sold out show and it was one night only.
But I have a feeling (am attempting to manifest) that there will be more shows in the future. So for now, just follow him, OK?
Heartbreak High
I have now watched three episodes of this Australian teen drama on Netflix. It is a lot like 90210 in that it features actors who are clearly 30 years old playing high schoolers.
But on this show they have cooler outfits, better storylines and even better accents. Plus it’s more sex-positive and kind of hot. Super fun.
My new sneakers
Much like a dog (A VERY CUTE DOG THAT EVERYONE LIKES), I am most incentivized by treats. So, when I committed to going to pilates twice per week for the month of March, I, as a human person, incentivized myself with, you guessed it, a treat.
I don’t know if buying yourself sneakers when you really actually need sneakers is considered a treat per se, but let me tell you, these Sorel sneakers ARE a treat for the feet. A feet treat.
They’re super cute and more importantly, so comfortable. They are lightweight and the perfect color. I can’t wait to introduce them to the sidewalk if & when it ever stops raining.
Pilates
I just love pilates. Here I am at pilates. Look how happy I am. I highly recommend taking on a challenge that makes you feel stronger in both body and mind. And that maybe gets you some sneakers. And abs (Eventually. Maybe).
OK, that’s all. I love you. Bye!
