of course I read my lovely genius friend’s senior thesis last year, but I had only read one of the central texts — getting around to reading the other two and then going back to her thesis will be all the more rewarding and satisfying :-)

Sometimes I worry about becoming swallowed and bogged down by the mire of my past so I feel the need to be moving always forward - but I went on a hinge date with a guy last week who reminded me that you can read as many new books as you want but if you don’t take the time with some of them to really go in depth, to let them sink into you, you won’t really get a very full understanding of anything. I think that’s right.

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)

lived in dublin for 4 months in 2022!!
-get pastries at bread 41
-books upstairs and hodges figgis for bookshops (get the toastie in the cafe inside books upstairs)
-if you like irish lit, the museum of literature is well-curated; james joyce museum in dun laoghaire is in the martello tower from the beginning of ulysses (run by the sweetest elderly volunteers and has a gorgeous view up top)
-phoenix park is huge and gorgeous!!
-grogan’s is a great/classic pub
-workman’s and fibber magee’s usually have a gig on, good for a dance or two
-a 2am slice of difontaine’s pizza after a workman’s night out… heaven!
if you want to get out of dublin, 20ish minutes on the DART to howth (gorgeous cliff walk/hike, fish & chips) or dun laoghaire (for a swim at forty foot) is a great change of pace!!
