Nov 25 Weekly Roundup #88: Kindle and Tom Hanks

Reading

The Rosie Project, Graeme Simsion. I read this a very long time ago, so I had no idea there were now three of these books?!

Sadly, I Like Reading Books on My Phone Now, The Cut. I agree with all the points made in this article and I definitely like reading on my Kindle app, plus it’s easier on the commute, but I will forever prefer physical books. (Sorry, Rich, they’ll keep taking up space in our place)

2020 Grammy Awards: Complete Nominees List, Grammy. Look 👏🏼 at 👏🏼 Lizzo!!! Also, some of these songs feel like they came out ages ago, like Sunflower.

Break the Internet: Pete Davidson, Paper. I really liked this piece. I didn’t have many feelings on Pete before, but I actually really like him now. Also, his and Tommy’s sign off was just cute.

This Tom Hanks Story Will Help You Feel Less Bad, The New York Times. I used to watch Mister Rogers, but I didn’t really have any desire to see this movie. Now? I kind of do…also, I would love a typewritten note from Tom Hanks.

Saying ‘We Need to Talk’ Is an Act of Unmitigated Aggression, Vice. As a person who really, truly, desperately hates confrontation, this sentence strikes fear and anxiety right into my core.

What Your Pores Can Tell You About Your Skin, Into the Gloss. Hello, oily/maybe combination 🙄

Why Friendship Breakups Hurt So Much, According to a Couples Therapist, Man Repeller. “I think it’s always a profound, deeply destabilizing loss when a true friendship is ruptured.” Annd this is probably why this piece is still my most-read article on my blog. (Side note: couples therapy for friends? I heard it first from Karen and Georgia! 💜)

63 Years Between Kisses, The New York Times. This is so utterly adorable! It’s the kind of love every person wants and dreams of.

Kristen Stewart Relatably Switched From Heels To Sneakers On The Red Carpet, Nylon. This would be me.

The 2019 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Is Canceled: 'We're Figuring Out How to Advance the Brand,' People. Wooowwww, this is fantastic, lol. Get entirely new management and goals and maybe we’ll see.

Listening

Deliriously Good, Rat City.

Before You Go, Lewis Capaldi. His voice is just hypnotizing.

Sometimes, NEIKED, KES KROSS, Jackson Penn.

Check out my Tunes highlight for all my most recent listens!

Watching

Dollface, Hulu. I’m obsessed with this show and all the actors (and producers—um, that Margot Robbie cameo was perfection) and I NEED it to come back for more seasons!!

Sneaky Pete, Amazon Prime. My parents have been telling us to watch this for like three years so we finally started and, wow, is this a binge-worthy show. Bryan Cranston does it again. And everyone’s favorite character actress, Margo Martindale!
