1970s Elliott gould films

and maybe do some drugs that suit the scene. the long goodbye, bob & carol & ted & alice, nashville, california split - just something about cruising around in a convertible through the smog. seems like it was a fun time to be alive

The Last Days of Disco (1998)

basically an awesome hangout movie with a bunch of annoying yet charming young socialites enjoying the titular "last days of disco". love that this is a late 80s period piece made less than a decade after it was actually set.

Listening to your liked songs playlist

Normally, I’m a big album person, but lately my roommate got me into listening to my liked songs. It’s amazing. You get the best of all worlds, Nirvana into Clairo into Caroline Polachek into Talking Heads into Andre3000… How spectacular that we have all of the music in the world just at our constant disposal.

Bringing a mug of tea out with me

It’s a wet and gloomy day. My hair is frizzy, my tea is ginger and peach flavored. I used lipstick on my lips and cheeks today and nothing else. The shoes I’m wearing are not made for the rain. This morning I was reading East of Eden. Frazzled is how I would describe myself right now. I feel like your favorite English professor who’s always running late. Highly recommend.
