For the longest time I felt like if I started a book, I had to finish it. Who knows why, it's not like the author will find out. So, in the last year or so, I've started to just *put the book down* if I'm not enjoying it and release myself from any guilt / weird feelings, and start a different book. I've read more books since I've started to mark books "did not finish" and move on. If you like short fiction, I love Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine, and if you like short, heart wrenching memoir I love The Sarah Book by Scott McClanahan

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

Not the watered down version to save the other person’s feelings. Not half of what you feel. Not the version that you know makes other people more comfortable. Not the version you wish was true. What you actually fucking feel. Terrifying! I know!

What more do I need to say!? I have so many weird match strikers in my eBay watchlist, you're now going to benefit from seeing them. I never thought the $148 he costs was in my budget, but a girl can dream! Wouldn't he look fun sitting on top of a pile of special books? Bonus: this guy has a chipped antenna, acting as a reminder that none of us need to be perfect to be loved.
