I do not understand how everyone is not shazaming everything all the time. I once was trying out an assistant who asked me “what song is this?” TWICE in a row about an obscure playlist I was bumping. Needless to say, he was never seen again. I can tell what city I was in at any given time based on what Shazams are in my history. Do you not feel the burn of existential curiosity searing a hole into your soul constantly?

Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers.

At the Lincoln Center Performing Arts Library you can watch almost any theatrical production performed in New York City since 1970. Due to union laws, you can only watch a production once and must stay in the library’s viewing cubicles. Recently, I watched John C. Riley and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Sam Shepard’s True West. If you love theater, do yourself a favor and spend an afternoon watching an old production. I love theater and want new plays. I am imagining a burgeoning playwright creeping into the library to watch Meryl Streep in “Mouther Courage and Her Children” and going on to write their own Mother Courage (and casting me).

Start by having a lovely dinner with live jazz music in their restaurant. The food and drinks are worth the price. Will warn, the drinks are strong, so you’ll only need one.
Then pick a movie. The Roxy Cinema always is either playing cult classics, 35mm prints of rare films, or is playing the best new indie films.
Close out your night with a game of pool, a martini, and taking some photos in their photobooth. All will make for a magical, and memorable night, I guarantee 🖤

I am learning to forgive people instantly, to forgive before they’ve wronged me, to forgive them for the sin that is being human. Grace is undeserved favor, and as someone who has been obsessed with being The Victim, it’s so freeing to accept that all people are deserving of forgiveness and grace. Also, it makes me morally superior to them.

This may seem obvious to people who didn’t grow up in the suburbs, but I’ve been enjoying having custom objects made for me. I’ve been wearing a belt I designed from an anagram I’ve been drawing since I was 12, cut by a trusted steelworker who also built the railing I designed in my house. I have custom handmade mirrors and tables and handbrushes and stools and jeans. I may not be able to build stuff but I sure can tell people what to do. It’s so nice to have personal relationships with objects and the craftspeople who make them.

Remember Deleted Scenes? Remember Director’s Commentary? Remember the feeling of holding something warm in your hands and appreciating the cultural exchange you just had with it? You can’t get that from a streaming network. I bought a DVD player this year, went to the Goodwill DVD section and bought Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and a pilates dvd for $1. One day the billionaires will cut the internet off and we will all look up and realize that we don’t own any of the media we love. Buy vinyl, buy cds, and buy DVDs – especially if you want to learn more about the movies you already love.
