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.
hello??? HELLLOOOOOOOO what is going onnnnn why didnt i check the weather. I was so overstimulated. Let me set the scene: Im almost late for my bus. I have this primal URGE to wear my new flats today- i have a button up shirt thats a lil to tight on me and a long flowy skirt. I have these anklets on and my flats. I have my jacket clutched in my hand, with my airpods and i step outside the door to RAIN. I grab a big ass umbrellalike those golf umbrellas and then im trudging through the rain in my fkats and my silver anklets are rubbing up hella agaisnt my heels PLEASE HELP MEEEEEE and the wind is whipping
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.
Almost Famous, Boogie Nights, Licorice Pizza, The Holdovers, Dazed and Confused, etc. This is my favorite genre of movie. I will eat this up every single time. Masterpieces. All of them.
