i can't stop reading books about venice or watching movies about venice and yet i've been to venice once for two days when i was a teen...what is this about
do you have a place like this that sort of...calls to you? that you will read anything about/watch anything set in? even if you've never been or have only been in a hazy memory?
i realize my weird fascination with venice makes me a pre-raphaelite dirtbag and i am trying to accept it

i ordered pants from etsy that were tailor-made to my measurements and...i'm never doing anything else when i need pants again
the thrill of putting something on that was lovingly made and fits perfectly...unbeatable
i know many of you were doing this all along but i had yet to really get into the clothing-made-on-demand thing and now i see the light

i started doing the pomodoro method while writing today bc it was part of my resolution to give it an honest shot and i regret to inform you it really fucking works
my particular formula is 25 on, 5 off, in the 5 you can make tea or check tweets or browse online or put on lip balm or whatever, in the 25 if you do any of these things the floor is lava and you are in big trouble mister
also this is today's tea and it is SO GOOD and i've been through two pots already murchies.com/product/lavend…

i really have become a tea woman in quar; i love tea, i think about tea all day long, cannot get enough of tea
i always wonder how those women who collect/are given as gifts something related to one thing are born...and now i see it; my mother-in-law gave me tea-themed notecards for xmas and i was like, this is a perfect gift for me, a woman who likes tea. and so it begins
ugh now possessed with writing a mini-series newsletter about tea called "here's the tea"...dammit why does my brain do this

do u ever just think about bette davis in this interview
also...was bette born with this voice? making up that you are from another country is bad (and should not be done!) but i wish more people decided just to have a sort of transatlantic miss piggy voice because it was what actors simply DO (pronounced like a very slow "dew")
also halfway through she gets bored and picks up her water glass and fishes out an ice cube to put more ice in her rocks glass...chaotic
