We Manage Most When We Manage Small

linda gregg, “We Manage Most When We Manage Small”

letter of recommendation

this movie is legit GOOD, josh brolin is so excellent and the story is tender and just trust me that it’s background viewing of the highest order (a true compliment).

my thoughts exactly

what is fun?

what is fun anymore? does this sound like a NY Mag essay? i went out with an old pal last night, but it was just like this: 😑 x 10, tbh. i’m glad i went but also no feelings of pleasure exactly. i did have fun watching free guy with ross the other weekend, but the time with the old pal was just…flat. but most everything is like that. is it covid, is it depression, is it loneliness, is it moi.

WHAT IS FUN ANYMORE

aka kind of a depressing list

• watching basketball
• getting in bed
• sleeping in
• maybe just sleep in general
• playing with kids
• being with ross
• hanging with family
• old friends
• drinking fancy coffees
• petting dogs
• hitting the road
• going to thrift stores
• thinking about basketball

chekhov DOES get it

from molly young:

Chekhov gets it

“I am of the opinion that real happiness is impossible without idleness. My ideal is to be idle and love a plump young girl. My most intense pleasure is to walk or sit doing nothing; my favorite occupation is picking useless stuff (leaves, straw and so on) and doing use­less things.”

this is exactly it
