I used to be the person who only considered someone my friend if they were one of my CLOSE friends. I always felt that anything other than that was surface-level and not worth having.
But as I’ve grown up I’ve grown to appreciate the fact that there are many different types of friends and I can enjoy them for what they are. Not every friend I have needs to be the closest friend who I can share my deepest secrets with.
I appreciate the friends that i only see once every few years, low maintenance friendships, uni-friends, friends that i only talk about movies with, friends of friends etc.
Just trying to embrace happiness wherever i can find it.

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!!

Whenever I’m really into a song (or songs), I’ll just jot down the date and the song on my notes app. I’ve done this since 2022 and it’s so cool to see my music phases and how my taste has changed. I'd rec!
