Mostly the H Word

online reviewers are insane. or maybe this is just a title case bot? (although, in the reviewer’s defense, the book, the inheritance games, was a very fast read.)

winter solstice

“winter solstice” by Alex Dimitrov

best of list for 2020

in addition to friends and family, highlights of my year:

• Waxahatchee’s album saint cloud
• stumptown’s holler mountain coffee — a gentle delight
• strawberry kombucha
• that miraculous mug i won from east fork pottery
• suzy’s cookie donation fundraisers
• suzy’s pavlova
• getting a library job, i mean, what the actual hell
• lovers rock
• iMovie????? yes, iMovie
• those excel spreadsheet by ny times writers, can’t find the link but perfect
• ken leung on LOST, ok, and maybe other parts of LOST
• binging i’m not okay with this with john and nancy
• the production design on the queen’s gambit
• the NBA (period)
• frankie getting good reviews at the vet
• all dogs
• this craft, my crowning glory, will never top (see my ratty video of it here)
• the book hog by greg pizzoli — get this one for any kid you know (under age five, maybe?)
• you must remember this about polly platt, honestly, it should be on everyone’s best podcast list, sorry. i loved its hollywood secrets and glamour and cruelty and the endless struggle to stay relevant. also polly platt crashing with orson welles in his mansion in arizona (?!?!) is bonkers.
• the mandalorian — against the odds! strangely relaxing and moving? it’s like the original star wars: kinda campy, bad acting, but also compelling in a deep way. wasn’t sold, then was sold.
