Friends, I have…an intense shopping hangover right now. Like, I bought the J. Crew glitter booties and a Christmas tree and also a new phone. Here’s what else I had going on…
Reading
I…don’t have any links to share tonight?! I was out and about all week, and made an effort to not be on my phone during my time off. But I did blast through Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson, which was a true delight. I had a couple minor questions/quibbles with it, but overall, I enjoyed reading it so much. Now I’m about two-thirds of the way done with Song of Achilles.
T-givs
Thanksgiving was really lovely this year! I spent it in Brooklyn with my girlfriend and it was incredibly cozy from T to B. On Wednesday night, we had drinks and burgers with a friend at Alameda. On Thursday, we went out and about in the morning, and then watched every single Thanksgiving episode of Friends. This turned out to be the perfect mellow activity. I’ve probably only seen 10 episodes of Friends in my entire life, so it was genuinely novel and fun for me. It felt like a more intentional version of the traditional holiday activity of scrolling through your phone while “watching” whatever channel a family member puts on.
Meanwhile, we cooked a really delicious feast! The main course was the Spiced and Braised Short Ribs with Creamy Potatoes from Nothing Fancy which was…so goddamn good. It’s a great recipe to have going in the background while you lounge and watch an old sitcom. It was just such a good, chill day, and I felt very grateful.
Have a great Sunday! 🛍
