#73: goodnight everyone
hi hi hi sisters ♡ soooo sorry this is so late tonight (especially if you are on the east coast) I hope that if you had the day off today that it was restful and just what you needed. and if you didnt have today off, i’m so sorry thats so mean !!! I also hope you had a great valentines day and felt loved by those in your life !!! because love transcends romantic love !!!
I did get dinner with a friend but most of my day was spent doing chores; laundry, grocery shopping, meal prep, homework, looking for jobs, etc. not too exciting. I think i’m being ghosted by a firm that I was chatting with so thats really annoying and its so overwhelming to think about looking for and applying to jobs !! but I gotta do it, and I need to get on it !
keeping the recommendations section to recommendations for different substacks that I read. I find it to be really important to support small “businesses” (that sounds odd to use here, but maybe influencers is another word I can use?) and one way I can do that is by sharing about them!
with the states being a daunting place for many right now, including those who work in a public service career or government job, I wanted to share a substack called
that is a weekly interview series with smart and cool people that have also been laid off.I really like that this substack takes the taboo topic of being laid off and changes the narrative from embarrassment and shame to something else. because odds are we all know someone who has been laid off, and most likely it wasnt because of their performance.
movies: a lot of movies were watched this week. started off SO strong with im still here, a brazilian movie that is nominated for best picture that is about the true story of a family that lived under the brazilian dictatorship in the 70’s. so phenomenal and stunning and heartbreaking. loved it, go see it!! had a THREE movie day (all musicals) with bjørn on saturday. started off with anastasia, my childhood favorite princess movie. she will always be a disney princess to me. the music is probably some of the best princess movie music of all time. I adore it. then we watched chicago, a musical I had NEVER seen before and I regret it because HOLY, why is this musical not talked about more ?!?!? it is everything a musical can and should be, it is fun and eccentric and perfection. I adored it. and then we ended with emilia perez, another movie nominated for best picture and it was ummm questionable. like it was very unique and I will give it that, but also it really was so unnecessary and maybe should have had more thought before it was made the way it was haha. for movie church we watched into the spider-verse, DAMN that animation goes crazy, this movie is so good, I forgot how good it was. I need to watch across the spider-verse ASAP
music: sabrina carpenter dropped some bonus tracks !! including a duet with dolly parton !!!
in my stomach: hehe another reason why this is so late is because I was half way through writing it when I left for dinner with a friend and we went to a restaurant called parla and it was so yummy ! we had a pizza and it tasted like it was made on focaccia, which seems like something I need to try to make sometime !!!
nothing too much to report on or yap about this week, except I want to share a funny little situation that happened to my roommates and I. last weekend (the weekend before valentines day) we hosted a galentines in our house, so we had a very full fridge with all the food and drinks needed for this dinner we were hosting. which meant that everything was shifted around from their usual spot in the fridge.
miranda, one of my roommates, had just gone grocery shopping at trader joe’s and her groceries were scattered randomly, including a pack of cucumbers. we hosted galentines and it was lovely, the fridge was able to breathe again and we were starting to put everything back in their place, except, the cucumbers were missing. I searched through the fridge. miranda searched multiple times. and alyssa went looking for them as well. we thought this was SO weird because I remember putting them away, but they were gone. and no we did not use them for galentines.
we move on, the cucumbers were lost, we can get new cucumbers for miranda, which she did a few days later from target. fast forward to today, I go grocery shopping this morning and I see that trader joe’s has SO many cucumbers, so I grab myself a pack and decide to get miranda a pack as well. I come home and am unloading my groceries, and low and behold what do I find? the missing cucumbers, in pristine condition. they dont look like they were purchased over a week ago, yet these are indeed the cucumbers that went missing a week prior.
truly a shock. I dont have any sort of explanation for this except maybe some sort of sprite or fairy had some sort of work happening in our fridge or even a glitch in the matrix. who’s to say… but the world can be a very funny thing
