sometimes it is pretty here

just a cool saturday night

listening to dorothy ashby, sipping a tiny glass of game of thrones chardonnay (not terrible, tbh), thinking about how easy it is to lose yourself in another person (although is there a self to lose?) (what would adam phillips say?), wearing sweatpants, reading jia tolentino’s creative independent interview AND her grub street diet (“At noon I went to Cobble Hill to go to a barre class. I have conflicting feelings about barre, but I do not have conflicting feelings about Bien Cuit, which I stopped by afterwards for an iced matcha latte”). going to watch captain marvel later with ross, maybe read a short shory and alexa’s essay, eat dessert…a sweet saturday night.

UPDATE: captain marvel, actually pretty terrible

what a name for a color

just the latest

• started doing yin yoga online, body feels more << nothing >>, in the best way. the teacher is a little santa fe, but actually i love that about her.
• experimenting with using <<  >>
• got my first bad yelp review, mentioned by name about my terrible customer service. very cool. i can’t stop thinking about it and going over what i did (i wrote him back IMMEDIATELY *twice* and was investigating his lost package but i couldn’t give him an immediate refund until i sorted it with USPS, which set him off, i guess?). i could go on but for what? honestly it’s made me think  humankind is maybe 90% selfish garbage (the daily’s episode about busing reconfirmed this).
• who even writes bad yelp reviews? just — jerks!

because i liked beer

from cj hauser’s “the crane wife”:

He said he wanted to be with me because I wasn’t annoying or needy. Because I liked beer. Because I was low-maintenance.

I didn’t say anything. A little further down the road he added that he thought I’d make a good mother.

This wasn’t what I hoped he would say. But it was what was being offered. And who was I to want more?

hitting all my spots, reminding me of this.

but who isn’t

just wondering
