#2 Just Stuff!
No thoughts, Just stuff! June is here, which means summer is almost there. Let's shake our bums.
another round of no thoughts, just stuff! while in Japan, there are MANY people still wearing masks out in parks and riding a bike, I don’t understand where that mentally is coming from? Like babes, I’m not coughing my way on these streets or talking with anyone, there is no way I will give you covid? take your masks off. Normalize not wearing masks outdoors! Japan, You need to be the change or you will never change! ok, wow social justice warrior out here honey. ok, on to my recs of this couple of weeks.

Shows📺
-Severance
I don’t think there’s going to be a better show coming out this year. Adam Scott’s acting was insane. The idea of the show is so modern and thought provoking. If anyone has not watched it, please it’s such a great show. I don’t think anything else will top this.
-Conversations with friends
We love a Sally Rooney adaptation show. This is the only book I haven’t read by her, so honestly I had no idea what to expect, and I heard that some people were not into it, but I loved it. I was wrecked. I do want to know, it was once again one of those very complex human relationships, but the way it ended, is it telling us that relationships doesn’t have to be traditional monogamy, and ‘spontaneous consent’ should be more allowed? Being able to love other people at the same time is possible and that is something Francis is trying to explore?
-Anatomy of a scandal (THIS IS NOT A REC. HONESTLY DON’T WAISTE YOUR TIME)
The dumbest show I have ever watched in a while. the soap opera ness reactions and predictable writing is so cringe. The only thing I will say, do people just don’t have taste? lol I’ve heard and seen people ‘recommending’ this show. Like how??? Siena Miller? So what? It could be fun to just laugh at the stupidly of the show but other than that, pass.
Films🎬
-I’m the worst person in the world.
It’s about a girl who is age 29 (same age as me), trying to figure out what she wants to do with life while dating around and having a boyfriend. It’s a Norwegian film so not to mention the beautiful aesthetics of the cuts and houses, but I love a plot that starts with same age girl, trying to figure out life but life is not going so much as planned.
Other Stuff that You will love for sure💌
Ziwe has a new talk show inviting guest on Showtime. I fucking LOVE Ziwe humor. Chet Hanks, aka Tom Hanks son. He is unreal. I don’t know if he is being for real or it’s an act. So funny!

-Lena Dunham’s birthday instagram post.
I love her writing a lot, and this birthday post about -I haven’t reached the necessary milestones that would make me the right kind of 36 years old- is a very relatable thought.
Until next time with all my favorite shit. Should I focus on one thing next? Like a deep dive in something?
