i sold my car almost ten years ago and then got divorced four years ago so the intermittent car access i had disappeared. i haven’t driven since last november and at that point i hit a cab woh my rental minivan (was moving stuff from philly to nyc) because i forgot like, how wide cars are trying to sneak past the cab,…

i am of the grey 

so this guy i went to high school with killed himself on monday. i didn’t know him well, i wasn’t really a fan, but he married one of my best friends from high school so he’s always been in my periphery. they have two kids under ten and are also very evangelical, so instead of a funeral today they had a party. (side…

question for you and other new yorkers: i’ve only been here two years so i’ve never tried my hand at the standby line. i would LOVE to see the favourite tonight (yorgos lanthimos 😍😍😍) and there are like six screenings and they all will be open to standby tickets— any tips on which theatre or time may be my best…

we have it on in our office and my office mate is like “why is no one giving him any tissues?” and i was like “because they didn’t expect HIM to be the one crying”

THIS! i was walking to the office today and went past a theatre that was flashing what was playing on the marquee and life itself came up and i was like...is there something about this week that has to do with roger ebert? why is this in theatres again?

well....yes, but also no? i’m a swimmer so i have very flexible ankles and so when i do roll, my ankle just goes with it and it doesn’t hurt. that being said, if you’re worried about rolling, i find the heeled versions more stable than the platform versions (so one or two vs three here) though they’re all very comforta…

as a fellow new yorker, i say go with dansko, you may have to scour a lot of different sites to find something you like that is cute, but your back, knees and hips will thank you AND the wood sole is almost impossible to kill (oh and most of them are also anti-skid so when it gets icy you just keep walking no bigs)

yeah, i learned the freezer thing from lidia bastianich, but i always just throw them straight into the boiling water; i’ve never had the need for or desire to chop them up after the freezer but before the pot like she did (*cue flashback of me watching lidia’s italy on a saturday afternoon at like, age thirteen and…

i was just super bored, i kept thinking about how i wanted it to be tayne and the wasp. but on the other hand, paul rudd...bitch don’t age! good lord. 

i mean...*technically* the lobster is a rom com? just a really, really dark and twisted one. it’s worth watching for colin farrell alone. yorgos lanthimos is THE director for him, their work together is just soooo good. 

sometimes i go to archive.org and get a fix on whatever i can find that’s cached

yesterday i had my first haircut in two years that wasn’t done by jonathan...he’s just too busy now and like, massively famous and i miss him :(

jut focusing on the allergy part of your post— i have crazy bad allergies and know a few tricks. do you take a daily antihistamine? allegra has the fewest side effects, and you can actually take it every twelve hours when pollen levels are up (or twice a day, depending on how you phrase it). also as weird as it…

i saw crazy rich asians on a thursday and then ant man and the wasp on friday. don’t go see ant man. crazy rich asians is fine, but i don’t know, people react differently to romances depending on what’s going on with them at the moment.

will do— btw, the model dog looks EXACTLY like my jack russell so that’s one of the reasons i first picked out the pattern years ago— i knew it would be perfect on her (she also needs a new sweater which i’ll tackle after i make the ones for the teacup)

i’m dog sitting my neighbor’s teacup dog so i’m modifying this pattern (smaller because he can’t find anything small enough to fit her): https://www.yarnspirations.com/bernat-hoodie-dog-coat/BRK0713-006290M.html

omg thank you both, i felt like such an old (i’m 35). all i could think was if i had to explain it to her the first thing i’d start with is “just because it’s black doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for a funeral.”

i have many tattoos but most i can cover up for work with elbow length sleeves BUT i have the deathly hallows on my left forearm (where the dark mark should be, natch) BUT as i am approaching my mid-30s AND work in the theatre district where i see the kiddiewinks running to the cursed child in their hogwarts gear on a…

my therapist says that forgiveness is only possible when what happened no longer effects you in any way. so with some things, like child abuse that happened during developmental years or traumas that are so traumatic that they literally change WHO YOU ARE and HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS, there’s no way it will stop…
