trying to steal marisa tomei’s entire style / vibe etc
school starts next tuesday and i’m not ready. final semester, WOW. it’s been so nice since christmas just being able to GRUB — i even cooked! made alison roman’s beige bean cabbage soup (unimpressed, but maybe i did something wrong?), BA’s best banana bread (remains a winner) (definitely recommend sprinkling on that sugar before baking), and i’m going to make ribollita this week and hopefully another soup before the school irons clamp on.
p.s. i recently decided i can’t stand cate blanchett’s acting, is it heresy? it’s so over the top, always feeling like ACTING. now i’m like did i ever like her in anything??? speaking of, i straight up HATED don’t look up

one time in austin in 2002 or 2003, i was walking down congress and a camera crew asked if they could ask me a driving question — they’d pay me $10 to answer. i was 27 and poor and of course said yes. i got the question wrong (doh), but pocketed the $10 and then never thought about it again. until random people would tell me they saw me in a defensive driving video. worried face emoji. times 10 because apparently the video is still in action 20 years later??? because yesterday someone texted my coworker a clip of me from the video asking if it was me??? and my coworker was like is it??? and i was like, yes??? but also…can’t you tell??? or am i now a crone and you can’t even see that young person inside of me?????????????? ANYWAY YOU BE THE JUDGE

guys i woke up on new year’s day feeling straight hopeful. am i crazy. POSSIBLY YES. my resolution this year is forgiveness — just being more forgiving of myself, my mom, other people, everything. not being so hard on everyone INCLUDING myself and just being able to accept it all. TBH it already feels good to have that concept floating in my brain. please that i can stick with it. more to come and also i ate the best meal in recent memory on new year’s day: salad, rancho gordo SUPER LUCKY black-eyed peas, and greens from our pals bob and leslie. it was truly spectacular. maybe this added to the hopefulness. in other news i have $100 to blow (i mean not technically, since i have credit card debt but…you get me) but what do i want to buy!!! A: this shirt, these underwear, massages, trips, ETC ETC

i blew off school last night, too zonked by city council, and watched married to the mob, inspired by johnny, in honor of dean stockwell. i originally saw this movie when i was 14 and loved it, i think it was on my favorite movie list for as long as i kept that list going, but it’s surprising to watch now and see just how sweet it is. it’s just gentle. like a gentle cartoon comic. and michelle pfeiffer is so luminous in it. thumbs up. ps i’m sorry but it KIND OF makes me want to watch jonathan demme’s last movie, rikki and the flash
