Watch / Read / Listen (No. 4)

wrl-4

Watch:

  1. Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl. I feel too old for high school stories, but this one is heartwarming without being cheesy. Extra credit for the occasional graphics and the wallpaper scene.
  2. The Real Reason Your Food Takes So Long. I was a waitress for a few years so I can attest this video is 100% accurate.

Read:

  1. Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls. David Sedaris always provide the best summer reads: insightful, quick, and funny.
  2. Just Friends. Very similar to The Wedding Date, but more realistic. Can we finally concede that guys and girls (past the age of 12) cannot be strictly platonic forever? Feelings are inevitable.

Listen:

  1. Mura Masa. The sickest beats I’ve heard in a while. “Lotus Eater” and “What if I Go?” are certified bangers.
  2. Snakehips. I like to think of them as a more chill version of EDM. “All My Friends” is the song of the moment.

Jabba the Pub is the name of the pub that I will open with my friend Ly, probably never but maybe one day. For now, here’s an actual bar named Sovereign Pub.

I came out here with my boyfriend and a few of his friends and the conversation led to what it always lead to: Tinder profile pictures. They wanted a girl’s opinion, so here is my take:

  • Gym pics, shirtless selfies, and duck faces decrease your chances by 99%.
  • Adventure/sport pics increase your chances by 75%.
  • Snuggling with a dog is an automatic right swipe.
  • Smoking is an automatic left swipe.
  • Don’t make them all group pics. How are we supposed to know which one you are?
  • Include one group pic. We need proof that you have friends.
  • Funny biographies are bonus points but will not guarantee a right swipe.

Vibe: British, no fuss, old school
Drink menu: draft beers, bottled beers, big selection of whiskey

Address: 1517 Aline St.
