This week, I attended my first Gerimedica party. Itās great to know I can expect a big celebration every year, and not just for the companyās sweet sixteen. It confirmed what I already know: great vibe, great taste, great people.
I went to Bar Bario on Saturday for a meet-up called Hair Haven, which fosters connection between people with curly hair. Again, I was struck by how welcoming the space is. Itās a ridiculous feeling, being the norm there.
Iām tired these days. Too much fun, too little rest. Iām better at napping, though. On Sunday, I barely wanted to get out of bed after a little snooze. Three years ago, a nap was unthinkable.
Iām giving Reni Eddo-Lodgeās Why Iām No Longer Talking to White People About Race another spin. The title alone makes it a hard read, but Iām hoping Iāll find myself along the way.
I saw Dalva at Ketelhuis. Reading the reviews, Iām surprised so many people seem to interpret the girlās dress style as āan adult woman in the 50sā. I thought it was reminiscent of the way girls dressed when the camera first came out. Not a girl, not yet a woman. Regardless, I imagine being Dalvaās mother, getting to know her daughter again, and understanding what has gone so wrong in the fibers of het child. It sends chills down my spine.
In another childhood trauma narrative, I thought it was so moving that Jan Broberg played the therapist in the Showtime series on her turbulent childhood. I fantasized the scenes functioned as a systemic family constellation, her talking to her childhood self. The reality was probably much more technical than that.
Anja had a very intense and short stint with Call of Duty, remarking on its evocative storytelling in the Cold War portion. She finished it, though, and the zombies turned om her off with such immediacy that sheās back to NBA.
After hearing it only once, Billie Eilishās āThe 30thā is stuck in my head. She and her brother have a good thing going.
