being away from home so much for work makes you sort of crave comforting things, and I keep returning to old Agatha Christie TV shows like Ms. Marple and David Suchet's Poirot. I also love Agatha Christie herself, because was very much for the drama. Like, she pretended to disappear for 10 days because she was mad at her husband and then lied about it. good for you, girl!

IYKYK. Gimme a bag of pirates booty and LFG! David Suchet as Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot does nothing but solve mysteries and get fits off (since 1989 btw.) I’ve watched the show my whole life, and the theme music still runs through my head whenever I’m walking down the street. They did every Poirot novel (70 episodes) and you can stream it everywhere. Most episodes are 90 mins so plan accordingly.

Therapeutically dry entertainment. Long episodes, pleasant scenery. Nice that it takes place in the 30s- underrepresented era on television. David Suchet is great.

I valued the idea of being low maintenance and chill for so long and I don't know if it's been living in LA and or being around more rich people but I realized recently that it is all a lie. every single person that is effortlessly “just being themselves” is lying. They are getting acupuncture and lymphatic drainage and taking pilates and yoga 3 times a week and getting facials and layering $90 serums and creams on top of their face and going to erewhon 80 times a day to get probiotic water that does not exist. they are a project. and guess what? so am I! sometimes it's nice.

so nice finishing something or having a friend finish something and then swapping that book. sharing things with your loved ones? making memories tactile? it's nice! (some that I've given or received that I've loved as of late: why fish don't exist - lulu miller, clarice lispector - an apprenticeship, how to do nothing - jenny odell, stay true - hua hsu)

The world's tough place. There's lots of movies I want to see and because of the dumbest corporate reasons, lots of times they're unavailable or only available to buy on a streaming service. At that point I'd rather just get a blu-ray (s/o walmart dot com and the kino lorber sale...) but if I can't find one, or if it's $50, I'll straight up just see if it's avail to watch on youtube or through the internet archive and a lot of times it is. The quality might not be great, but that's okay. It's important to not get what you want sometimes in life. (Elaine May's A New Leaf, Scorsese's Kundun, Todd Solondz' Happiness, Akira Kuroswa's Dreams, Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Sleuth etc. etc.)
