3-22-2026 MY FAVES: beatniks and good beats

Image
  what i'm reading... after the pathetics of prince harry, i resorted to the french nihilistic literature, by reading michel huoellebecq's 'the elementary particles' . the french love taboo, raw gross human carnality. they love controversy in art. think serge gainsbourg and "lemon incest" and whatever that father-daughter relationship was. or gaspar noĆ©'s films. granted - i know minimal about this topic, very rarely do i watch films like this (even though they're on my watchlist on letterboxd). french lit? i know a thing or two there. i've read my fair share of charles baudelaire, controversial french poet whom i discovered in high school, then camus, sartre and simone de beauvoir.  let's add huoellebecq into the mix. sib recently read sally rooney's 'intermezzo' and it seemed very similar to the description of 'the elementary particles'. two (half) brothers, one is a hedonist, always on the lookout for a fuck, and the other...

3-22-2026 MY INSPO: a place for women

  this week i am inspired by typical feminine places. whether it's the woman who lived in a shoe, the mall, or maybe the imaginary world of a girl's diary, i am there too. i have iss-shoes i won't fall for the cbk-ification that is forcing every girl into co. bigelows in nyc to buy a tortoise shell headband. but she is a style icon. anyways, i recently bought these calvin klein heels and laughed to sib: "should i do a cbk inspired look?" these patent beauties have a square toe and are very comfy but still tall. i am not going to try and pull a cbk look though. i love references and do so constantly, but maybe because the internet is saturated with "get cbk's look" videos make this less appealing to do. instead, i've been plotting some cute easter looks. whether or not they look kennedy-approved, it's up to you.  dear diary... since fourth grade i was that  girl with the diary, key and lock. i got my first diary on my birthday and it changed m...

i hope everyone got their fair share of corn beef, reuben, guiness, and bagpipes this week. last week's entries were written in a st paddy's day-drunk haze, and the vibes continue as tuesday was post-work meeting/st patrick's day happy hour at a local bar - all with the excuse to have our reuben rolls. feeling lucky?  i do! maybe it's because i am excited to write about everything i love, and positive psychology forces me to think of all that brings me luck. before the blog, my diaries would've heard all about it. i can't state how much this blog does well for my mental health, creative process, and just helping me document everything good in my life. and trust - not everything is four leaf clovers and pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. sometimes we're pinched by the leprechauns. working in mental health, i try to remind everyone (and myself in the process) we can flip from glass half-empty to glass half-full. most of the job is truly our perception.  m...
