What are you doing this weekend? I have been looking Rooster —Have you seen it? My heart swells seeing how Steve Carell’s character adores and always wants to hang out with his adult daughter, who, by the way, is played by the incredible Charly Clive, who I feel like we would be friends with in real life. I hope you have a good one, and here are some links from around the web…
banana republic It has a 30% discount until April 27 (exclusions apply). How timeless is this? square linen tank? I also want to use these painter pants on every future trip.
A look inside two of Brooklyn’s oldest homes. “‘I know the walls are cracking. I know there are nails sticking out of the floorboards, but I find it absolutely glorious,’ said Ms. Cunnick, 70.” (NYT giveaway link)
Katie Holmes haircut before and after…should we all eat spring chops?
In recognition of expression lines. “When I’m angry or critical (or happy, surprised, confused) I want to be read that way… I now view my ‘elevens’ with more affection. When I frown, I see a caterpillar gliding down a twig, a Shar-Pei puppy, a picture of a tesseract from a childhood favorite, A wrinkle in time. I see my dad and his intelligent mind, his many years of concentration and analysis. I see the power of these little muscles.” (via glory)
how beautiful it is this public swimming pool in Copenhagen?
Ooh, a nice shirt and sandals for date nights.
Some things I said while writing my will. “Keanu Reeves is staying with the kids. I feel like he would be psyched up and handle it.” (Substack gift link)
The Diabolical Lies podcast It has a perfect graphic, haha.
People are excited about this new Broadway play. “This quintessentially British arousal kicks in in the most stereotypical way possible… Her sly insults (“I should follow her everywhere and remember all the names she mentioned”) hit you quickly, delivered at a rapid pace.” (NYTimes giveaway link)
my friend was using the coolest necklace the other day.
Good. That’s really who I was in the ’90s.. “We were built differently back then. I once had a three-hour argument in a mall food court about which actor was in that movie with the bus, with absolutely no way to resolve it other than unearned trust.”
Also, four comments from readers:
Sarah says something charming: “This morning, in the hustle and bustle of trying to get my three-year-old son and I out the door, he said, ‘I just need to finish my list.’ I asked him, ‘What’s on your list?’ and she replied: ‘SPIN’. Three year olds are the most amazing people. Here is your reminder to stop and turn.”
Molly says of what joyful items you have in your home: “When we got engaged 15 years ago, my husband opened a fortune cookie that said, ‘You are domestically inclined and will be happily married.’ He put it in a tiny frame and hung it on our kitchen wall. I hope it stays there until we die.”
Kim says something charming: “Our dog is seven years old and this year she’s starting to slow down. She can tell and so can we. So I stopped mindlessly petting her and started looking into her eyes when I give her love. I talk to her and thank her for everything she gives us. She’s a very, very sweet girl.”
Tracey says about what her irrational fear is: “As I read this, I have to conclude that you are all bananas. Your fears are SO irrational. Most of them will never happen. I don’t have any. Oh, except green lights at night, where I’m sure a car will turn red and tear me to pieces. And maybe squirrels too. They move faster than my eyes can see; like frame by frame, I miss a couple. Monkeys are “The winged monkeys don’t help. And the police get in trouble, generally, but other than that, I’m very, very calm.”
