(no subject)
A list of things I love and recommend so that one day I will come back across this and be reminded:
Never Mind the Buzzcocks / Simon Amstell / Popworld / Miquita Oliver
There is nothing wrong with any of this. They are brilliant, the shows are topnotch, and it is a travesty that you only seem to discover British shows once they have peaked. Spaced? Skins? And now Buzzcocks and Popworld. Fail, Ewing.
Police, adjective
Someday this will be on all the lists of best films ever made and you can say you saw it back before almost anyone else did.
Your vanity table
It is a handmedown from a friend of my mother's, and last week my uncle came to visit and we sanded it and painted it black and then added a layer of gloss, so that it looks like art deco black lacquer, and it's beautiful, and no matters where I live, for the rest of my life, this will come with me, no matter what I have to pay in shipping.
Your cat
She is often cruel and vindictive, but in the past few days she has begun to let me pick her up and pet her, and followed me around, and I am reminded I do love cats.
Red lipstick
A given.
Arguing with your brother about colors
"There is no such thing," he insists, "as a warm blue. That's just green. There are no warm whites." But, I explain, there are orange-reds and blue-reds. One warm, one cold. "No," he repeats. "No."
Your hair piled up high on your head after a shower
Water dripping down your neck in tiny rivulets, soaking your shirt, your face flushed from being scrubbed, and a cool breeze--what more is there to summer perfection?
