dear internet,

it's been a while! here are some things i have been up to. i'm halfway through teenage bounty hunters on netflix, which has so far been unexpectedly hilarious and heartfelt. i'm listening to my first audiobook of a book i haven't read yet, the lying life of adults. mostly i'm listening because marisa tomei is reading it, but i appreciate that it's forcing me to slow down and pay attention to each word, which i suspect might be the only way to read ferrante. i rewatched enchanted and pride & prejudice (2005), both of which continue to be perfect. i ordered mcdonald's twice. i heavily researched alternatives to the ordinary that are available in india, and was recommended suganda; unfortunately, the algorithm is now showing me ads for face shields that have LED lights to improve your skin, and other dystopia-adjacent innovations. i bought the etude house wonder pore essence and am looking forward to wonderful pores. i have painted my nails robin's egg blue, a shade i was instinctively able to name without ever having seen a robin's egg (or even, i think, a robin.) my eyes are consistently, painfully dry, and i welcome solutions if you have them.

love,
t
