It’s November! That happened fast. Here’s how I’m feeling as winter approaches.
Best of luck for those in places creeping towards darkness. We’re in it together.
And Now For Some Recommendations:
A memoir to read: Tracy Clark-Flory’s memoir Want Me tells the story of the author’s career as a sex writer while weaving in stories of growing up, heartbreak, and her own conflicting desires. Equal parts dark, funny, poignant, and intimate, it’s one of the best coming-of-age stories I’ve read in a while.
A show to watch on an airplane: Did I somehow binge ten episodes of the latest season of The Mole on Netflix? Absolutely — here’s the trailer if you’re unfamiliar with the conceit of this seasoned reality series. It’s the perfect show for getting through a cross-country flight — there’s tension, drama, hot people, and secrecy!
An iPhone game to pass the time (and aesthetically wow you): The game is called “I Love Hue” (lol), and I’m mildly obsessed. The goal is to place a mixed-up array of colors into a gradient. Very soothing (until the ads pop up between rounds, but such is life).
The only part of going to the SeaTac airport I look forward to: Getting breakfast at Floret in Concourse A (I also recommend its parent restaurant in Seattle, Café Flora). If you’re ever traveling through this airport, make a beeline for this spot and order the fancy egg sandwich and a large coffee.
Happy November, everyone!
