it’s the weekend, which means extra #penpalooza match time: if you’ve already signed up but want an extra person to write to DM me your address, I’ll hook you up
Otherwise staying off this site and wishing you all well; it’s cider and leather jacket weather in nyc
still making fresh matches in the DMs. also, if you sign up for #penpalooza sometimes i dip into the database and send a random postcard myself to someone who signed up. it's like an even more chaotic willy wonka
oh and bc there is some confusion, you get your first match by signing up here; we are up to almost 5K people now!
It says it closed in August but that's a glitch and a lie! this thing is open all of 2020, baby: elfster.com/gift-exchanges…

i don't want to tell you how to live but this is the perfect weather in which to begin the eight part pbs documentary about nyc
episodes 3 and 5 are the real bangers but lately i have a soft spot for episode one and the ways it digs into how terrible lord cornbury was at everything
i do love that he went in drag to his official portrait sitting Image

ok doing a flash perfume genie while this site still exists. here's how you play: tell me a specific memory or feeling you want to evoke (the more specific the more likely you will be to get a reply!). i'll find you a perfume sample to evoke it. ok go.
again just "woodsy" or "fresh" or "happy" isn't going to help me as much as specific places, photographs, scenes from movies or novels you wish you were in, time periods, vibes
need to take a break here but i'll be back if you drop your requests?

something a mentor of mine once told me that i will pass along: a great way to stay curious/stretch yourself into something new is to pick a new-to-you obsession every season -- can be a word, a genre, an actor, a color, a place -- and curate your own little festival around it
and suddenly you start to refract the world around that thing -- so if you pick, say, opera, or F1 racing, or emily dickinson, or diana ross, or ANYTHING + start reading books about it + listening to podcasts/albums + doing double-feature movie nites new patterns will emerge
and suddenly the world is bigger and more open to you than you imagined, because things you didn't even expect have resonance just because you are trying to shove them into your seasonal obsession; you start to see connections that weren't there before. anyways!

if i ran/curated another weekly fall movie club at last (with a discord to discuss), what vibe would you be into
we've done screwballs and whodunnits so far and it has been great -- so...thinking of doing this again
Honestly tempted to just do hotels because I've long wanted to curate a hotel film festival but open to the people's choice

Had never seen Magnolia so watched it last night and a) it rules b) julianne moore’s best performance maybe???? c) pta was 29 when he made it….what have I done with my life
also melora walters should have an oscar and so should tom also when donnie said “I have a lot of love to give I just don’t know where to put it” I cried
learning that Aimee Mann lost the best song Oscar the year she wrote “Save Me” to a song from Tarzan ruined my day
