5-ish Things I Adore (End of 2022/Early 2023 Edition)

I used to do these things all the time, but fell out of the habit! So this post is mostly for me, but I hope you enjoy too, internet.

01. What’s on TV

I am notoriously behind trend on TV shows; my friends are constantly asking me if I’ve seen their favorite show of the moment, and my answer is almost always ‘no’. Sorry that I decided to rewatch the entire run of Scrubs instead of watching White Lotus, but it is what it is.

I’m catching up now though! And YES, Severance is just as incredible as everyone says it is.

Honorable mention goes to Wednesday for just being fun.

02. At the movies

Hands down my favorite film of 2022 was Everything Everywhere All at Once. I don’t think I have ever had a film experience like it. Truly a masterpiece of a film. I would die for Michelle Yeoh.

Honorable mention to Glass Onion which is so much fucking fun! I would also die for Janelle Monáe.

03. In this world

I was lucky enough to travel to a few places in 2022, but absolutely fell in love with Oaxaca, Mexico. What a magical place. I am dying to go back!

Honorable mention goes to, of all places, Tacoma, Washington! It’s so charming and no longer smells terrible!

04. Culture Trip

I gratefully live in a major city with tons of museums, and hands down the best exhibition I saw in the last 12 months was Guo Pei: Couture Fantasy at the Legion of Honor. Truly breathtaking, and the way the museum integrated many of her works into their permanent exhibits was fantastic.

Honorable mention goes to Hella Feminist at Oakland Museum of California, which I may have enjoyed more had it not been so overwhelmingly crowded when I saw it.

05. On the shelf

My most unexpected favorite of this year was a phenomenal book of poetry titled new names for lost things by Noor Unnahar. Like many people, I walk around most days filled up with grief that I don’t know how to articulate, so these poems are a treasure to find. I revisit them often.

Honorable mention goes to The Office of Historical Corrections by Danielle Evans.

Endless List of My Favorite TV Shows

America’s Next Top Model (2003 - 2018)

She liked the pattern of her life now, the domestic monotony tempered with the rush of feeling always close to the edge of something, the sensation of having the thing she loved and valuing it all the more because she knew it could go all wrong at any moment.

Danielle Evans, “Anything Could Disappear” in The Office of Historical Corrections: a novella and stories

[book-repository-for-ducks]

“I understand more now about how it feels to love the excess in people, about how knowing someone else’s love will consume you doesn’t make it any less real or any less reciprocated, about how you can leave a person behind just to save the thing they value most—yourself. Or maybe I understood it even then but couldn’t have told you how.”

― Danielle Evans, The Office of Historical Corrections
