Happy Sunday! No, I’m not watching the Super Bowl!! Here’s what I got up to this week…
Writing
Reading
This week, I read an advance copy of The Regrets, which comes out on Tuesday. I liked it! The first few pages are very intense, but it doesn’t stay that way. It’s dark but breezy, and it reminded of other writing/authors I like (Carmen Maria Machado, Christopher Moore, Kevin Wilson). I also read Slave Play, which I thought was great. (I’m very bummed I didn’t see it on Broadway.)
Also:
How I Get By: Two Weeks in the Life of a Target Employee, VICE.
Bowen Yang of ‘S.N.L.’ Is a Smash. And a Mensch., The New York Times.
Apparently, I’m Too Fat to Ski, The Cut.
I loved this.
How to Write 10,000 Words a Week, Drew Magary on Medium.
OK, But Maybe Priyanka Chopra and Post Malone Have Brainwashed Us All to Love Crocs Now, Cosmo.
I have a pair of Crocs that I wear as house shoes and they rule.
Watching
I did not expect to love Miss Americana, but wow, I did!!!
Eating & drinking
Tried two new recipes this week and both were…extremely fine! The first was Chicken-Lentil Soup With Jammy Onions from Bon App. The topping is delicious (I’d double that if I made it again) but it wasn’t my fave recipe overall. The other was Caramelized Shallot Pasta, which, again, was fine. (Probably worth making if you like anchovies, though!)
And I had drinks at Night of Joy in Williamsburg, which was very cute/good!
Have a great Sunday! ☁️
