I don't have a big list of new things this week because, honestly, I don't even know what is working for me right now. Okay, that's not entirely true. I can definitely recommend the Marco Polo app for keeping in touch with your friends - it's less pressure than FaceTiming because you can just leave your friends little videos as you have time. (Marianne and I use it a lot.) Marianne also just recommended a new podcast: Staying in with Emily and Kumail. It's basically Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani in quarantine and they are doing a podcast about it for charity. I've listened to exactly 1/3 of a single episode but so far I like it. Also, if you need something new to watch, I can definitely recommend Never Have I Ever on Netflix, written by Mindy Kaling. Here's me telling Marianne about it, along with some other snips of convo:
A: Never Have I Ever on Netflix is super cute
M: Oh I haven’t noticed that one
A: Mindy Kaling wrote it
M: sold
A: Cute shirtless high school boy in the first five minutes
M: DOUBLE sold
M: Like the dirty old lady I am
A: I was like, I AM IN.

A: Conundrum
A: I bought this color in the Madewell tee, called ashen silver
M: Ok
A: It is neither ashen nor silver. It's light tan
M: I was going to guess washed out blush pink
A: That's what I was expecting, but no
A: It was $11. Do I just wear it or bother to return?
M: I mean, I’d wear it around the house and to sleep in or whatever
A: Yeah
M: For $11
M: And under the current circumstances
A: I was just like...oh. It's disappointment in t-shirt form.
+++
A: So, I’m ridiculous
M: Oh boy
A: I went for a walk today, despite the rain, and was irritated that I didn’t have a windbreaker-type light jacket
M: Adrien
A: While waiting for the rain to slow down, I literally, in five minutes, anger-bought a jacket from Athleta. It was an extra 40% off, but still.
M: Ha hahahahaha
A: Like, by the time it arrives it’ll be full fucking southern summer
M: Yup
M: This is not a real season
A:
M: Looks nice!
A: 🤷🏻♀️
A: It gets good reviews
A: But I can also return it
M: It’s quarantimes
A: Truth
A: It was fully a rage purchase
M: Acceptable
+++
M: Good morning. Should I buy Birkenstocks with my birthday 20% off y/n
A: Y
A: What kind of question is that
M: Listing says discounts do not apply :(
A: What site?
M: Anthro is where I have the birthday discount
A: Have you tried applying the discount anyway?
M: Yeah, doesn’t work
M: Womp
A: Jerks
+++
M: I’m sorry this looks like a butt
A: I love a scarab ring but that ain’t good
M: Oh me too that’s why I clicked
M: Looks like a butt in a thong
A: Who wouldn’t want that
You will never regret that jacket. It will smush to nothing in your luggage and you will throw it on over hoodies and denim jackets at a rainy moment's notice. And it has good pockets. I have a similar jacket in white and I always pack it (unless it is the dead of winter). Plus, Athleta.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
DeleteOk, now *I* want it too! Thanks for a good review.
