PeSuit and Tie

  what i'm reading... started reading spare  - prince harry's scandalous memoir. i enjoy the few bits on princess diana as a mother, other than that, i am yet to get into the juicier details as i currently weave through harry's privileged youth. what i'm watching... bridgerton season 4 ended fantastically, with a happy ending so tense you can only expect in the bridgerton universe. this was def my fave season. i've been catching up with gospodin savršeni  - the croatian version of the bachelor. sib has been playing it on the tv over the week, and i hate to admit i've been following along. i can only microdose reality tv. watching these people act so stupid or psycho makes me anxious. it feels like a modern-day gladiator fight. we put these desperate influencer wannabes into a villa on crete to battle for two dudes - one of them significantly lacking iq! many 20-something year old women attended harry day  at the rock and roll hall of fame  to celebrate the newes...

  books of the week i completed reading twelve years a slave . at moments i forget this is not fiction, but a man's true story. how many more devastating stories have been lost to time? this story is almost 200 years old, but similar tragedies continue through our timeline. and even now, we are blasted by real time news - look at gaza, look at the deportations happening right now, specifically if you're on tiktok watching news on the 24 hour music festival in la  (wink wink)?!  we must stay educated, we must face the ugliness, and tap into our humanity, and remember - one individual cannot fix an entire genocide, but we can help our neighbors, the locals around us suffering in silence. we don't have to stay silent. i'm on hold for two books currently, so i checked out the year of magical thinking  by joan didion  in the meanwhile. i'm a huge fan of didion's writing. it's so simply, honest and compelling. her vast knowledge and research and her truthfulness -...

    ☼   the sun is shining through finally spring is showing us a preview of the good life, daylight savings officially started today, and sib and i are going through a strange case of pre-spring fatigue. i woke up from a fat nap just now and gained some strength to type up my entries. forgive me ahead of time if they sound loopy.     the week was exciting and busy. if this is how the spring will look like, i'm staying busy all year. in a TLDR vibe, my week consisted of really good music and dive bars (anthony bourdain style?), reconnecting with friends, and reconnecting with my catholic roots (hello lent).      it was wonderful to connect with bestie VG this week, as we celebrated mardi gras in tremont at bourbon street barrel room . we went with orders that were as traditional as possible, having hush puppies, jambalaya and alligator bites. the long wait for the table gave us advantage to catch up with VG's trips through europe, including an aus...
