and lives by breaking

my phone is too stuffed so deleting photos and found this good one (where from, who knows).

charles barkley

just gotta give a shoutout to charles on inside the nba, i love kenny, ernie, shaq — but chuck is #1.

If I had invented pasta salads I would hide

pete wells on the charm of chef and cookbook writer marcella hazan:

“That voice — brusque, solidly accented, cured in cigarette smoke, marinated in Jack Daniels — comes to me all the time. Seeing cold pasta at a deli, I’ll hear her [Hazan] saying, “If I had invented pasta salads I would hide.”

see more of my love for marcella here and kinda here. also this is extremely up my alley for many reasons (have only tried tomato sauce #2, but hope to try #1 this weekend, yes, this very weekend).

we still got it?

should I be concerned

that ross sometimes talks to me like he’s talking to the dogs 🤔

everyday miracles

our new rose bush (as yet unplanted)

chirping, looks

some stuff:

• new drink: flat white! it’s a cappuccino without the foam, I guess? I’m interested
• however I need like — 18 of them
• Andor forever and ever (even if I didn’t love bix’s storyline)
• also have watched some of your friends and neighbors and jon hamm is so compelling (and Olivia munn, too, surprisingly?) but ugh it makes me feel terrible, so: it’s banned
• my whole new goal in life is to smell good and have a million things that aid this
• basketball, oh ! lately it’s like my most reliable, most cumbersome, friend
• all my pants are so tight and yet — appetite remains robust!
• also check out these looks from Alexa Chung, strong vibes, approve

flying really is a scary miracle

respect to don nelson

i was thinking about steph curry and how he’s only played for golden state and was like, i wonder who his first coach there was? not thinking, clearly. because it was my man don nelson!!!! gerard and i made him our spirit animal while i lived in SF (this was his vibe at the time) — one of the top 10 coaches in nba history! never got a ring (as a coach)! here he is in his retirement hawaii-marijuana glory.

saturday things

• trying to work on a cover letter (inching there)
• listening to seductive reasoning by maggie and terre roche — someone suggested if you like the roches (we do) and so far it’s hitting the spot.
• staring at the see’s website
• what is a more intense word for STARING
• thinking about andor
• also this haim song is pretty great
• already cried about kind best friends doing kind things
