going for a walk in ur city

drive to ur favorite street (or walk there if it abets itself to such) and walk the length on both sides. if financials allow stop for a reward treat/drink/item along the way! tbh i love how this both enriches ur connection to ur city and gets u outside when the weather is nice and also could be a good excuse to try new places and things! i went for a drink special at my favorite cocktail bar and it didn’t disappoint

Aimless walks around New York with headphones on

This is my #1 absolute all time favorite activity. If you have approximately 2 hours (ideally in early fall or early spring) with nothing in particular to do, take a walk around the city with no destination in mind and see what happens. Maybe you’ll make eye contact for a moment with an attractive person in the crosswalk on 17th and 3rd and see your entire lifetime together flash before your eyes. Or you could catch a glimpse of yourself in the reflection of a Chase bank and remember that you are indeed a person who is alive and on planet earth. Maybe you get an overpriced coffee for some human interaction, drink 2 sips and throw it out while feeling bad about yourself. However you choose to spend that time, it’s yours to waste, and a way to experience the city without the errands and dramas one usually faces in New York. And it’s a great way to hyperfixate on a guilty pleasure song. Recommended tracks for this activity: “Bittersweet Symphony” by the Verve or “I Had a Dream That You Were Mine” by Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam.

Lucius' Limoncello

Inspired by sofe sharing her recipe POMELO HOOCH recipe. Limoncello is also easy to make as long as you are patient. It's simply an infusion. It's cold steeping tea. My basic recipe: Ingredients— 750ml 190 proof grain alcohol 10 lemons 250ml honey 500ml water Preparation— Peel the lemons while avoiding the pith (white part, adds bitterness) and place the peels in a large container with an airtight seal (I use a similar jar with a swing lid). Juice the lemons and add up to 250ml of lemon juice to the peels. Pour in the grain alcohol and seal the container. Place in a cool, dry place away from sunlight for two weeks. Gently swirl the infusion once a day. After steeping, strain the infusion through cheesecloth into another container. Combine the honey and water to make a syrup. You can do this in a pot on a stove by stirring and bringing it to a simmer. I prefer to put them in a large mason jar and shaking the hell out of it. Pour the honey simple syrup into the infusion and stir. The concoction will turn from clear to cloudy due to the ouzu effect. You now have limoncello. Transfer to bottles (I like using one like these) and either enjoy immediately, chill in the freezer, or put away in the cool, dry spot to mellow further.

My to-read list as of late :)

Courtesy of my handy dandy Storygraph app The Bonds of Love: Psychoanalysis, Feminism, and the Problem of Domination - I am a heavily involved BDSM girly (i love the movie Secretary if u guys get that reference), and I'm excited to see how this book navigates domination, authority, and pleasure mixed in together Women Who Run with the Wolves - I'm very excited to get into my Lilith era and see if this book speaks to her. I bought this book around the time I bought the Goddess book East of Eden - I saw Brittany Broski describe the book's plot and I knew I had to put it on my list Dracula - I'm obsessed with Bram Stoker's Dracula and I think it's time for me to dive into this masterpiece fr The Iliad - I saw a tiktok describing the intro of the book and the fact that people are saying Dr. Emily made this the easiest translation of the epic, and this will help me dive into classics more bc I really want to read more of them The Fire Next Time - I'm such a James Baldwin nerd and I want to get into more of his works so badly The Inner Tarot: A Modern Approach to Self-Compassion and Empowered Healing Using the Tarot - I'm an astrologer/tarot reader, and I want to try to integrate tarot in a more practical and tangible way in my life Now will I get thru all of these books in 2024? Maybe! Maybe not, but I'm excited to see where the year takes me <3
