what i’m  watching… twas the night before my flight and i was too antsy to sleep. i also wanted to stay up to watch creations come to life in sib’s sweatshop. so i watched  bill cunningham new york . a quirky documentary about the legendary street photographer bill cunningham, his behind the scenes process for his weekly article in the new york times, and just a profile on his childlike character. it was so adorable and fun. his humble work ethic is one you do not see in the swarm of influencers.  bill’s famous sunday spreads  on the plane, i attempted to watch charli xcx’s film the moment. it’s a mockumentary-style film in production with a24. i liked the graphics separating certain parts of the film, and the dude next to me kept looking over. seizure warning for sure. i never finished  it because i kept falling asleep.  what i'm listening to... this week, in honor of her birthday, mom was the playlist director  for the blog. mom is really int...

  happy birthday mom! this woman could care less about my blog, and she barely understands what i'm even saying. nevertheless, she still asks how it's going (occasionally). and she allows me to ask her weird questions and show her internet memes. so far, she's learned about ash trevino, clavicular, and the george tropicana scene from the brady bunch parody film. she hates it all. mom agreed to allow some photos, but only pre-approved: such as a rare sight of parents being somewhat romantic speaking of the questions mom is so eager to answer... in her own words... when i wake up i... go to the bathroom. i'm a practical woman. the last time i laughed was... now at my answer. my husband in the morning  ...annoys me. people sometimes say i look like... i'm younger than i am. people would be surprised to know... my actual age. right now i'd rather be... gardening. my daughters  ...are really cute. before sleep i always... pray. when i hear gossip the person i tell is...
