fixing my sleep schedule was a big priority while working with my therapist a couple years ago. set strict rules of no caffeine after 3pm (it affects ur sleep even if you think it's not), eat/drink things that will naturally improve circadian rhythm (e.g. chamomile tea), etc. also they don't fucking lie about putting your phone down at least 30 mins before going to sleep, it seriously improves sleep quality. find a book u enjoy and just read for 30 mins before bed instead. if ur having trouble with insomnia take melatonin but no more than ~3mg (any more has proven to be ineffective & possibly slightly detrimental to ur sleep schedule)

Great movie to kick off the new year, on at 9 PM on the 31st at the Studio Galande cinema in the 5th arrondissement, lots of fun and probably very nice people to meet. Come dressed up for extra fun.
As a bonus, I believe it's the only theatre in the world that's been showing the movie weekly with actors since it first came out in 1975, so that's pretty cool !

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

obviously a little immoral. don’t pirate every book you read. physical books are cooler anyway. but having access to such a wealth of information for free is so beautiful and shouldn’t be demonized. being able to find & read out of print or rare books through torrenting or little downloads is bonkers. people a century ago couldn't have dreamt of something like this

songs stink. insane amount of product placement. does that thing where it tries (& fails) to portray tiktok/social media and it just comes off as embarrassing. confusing target demographic. only went to see it because i felt like going to the theater w/my friend. not worth the money at all. spend ur time watching something better
