Getting sucked into Born to Run, a very gripping (really!) book about ultrarunning that’s prooobably gonna be made into a major motion picture starring Matthew McConaughey.
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Big Night—for sure one of the greatest food movies of all time. Turns out, 1996 was a BIG culinary moment: Mario Batali, Bobby Flay, and Emeril Lagasse got their Food Network shows the same year.
Flopping onto a new mattress: Bunches of research said Leesa was the way to go, and I’m a real happy sleeper so far.
Considering what it’d be like if the Ken doll got a makeover, too.
Topping off some out-of-character Saturday party-hopping with a wildly fulfilling late-night meal at Wo Hop in NYC’s Chinatown—it’s not technically a 24-hour joint because it closes from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. (which, LOLZ).

Falling even harder for Bill Hader after watching his seriously impressive turn (alongside the equally glorious Kristin Wiig) in The Skeleton Twins—which also happens to feature one of the greatest lip-syncing scenes in any movie, ever.
Preaching about the life-changing magic (seriously: magic) of adjusting your computer screen’s brightness with F.lux app. My like-clockwork 6 p.m. headaches have all but disappeared.
Really loving this sharp breakdown of how the costume director behind Spotlight managed to make the characters as authentically unfashionable as possible.
Putting my Prime membership to good use by sending water filters to Flint, Michigan, in just a few clicks.
Consuming salt like it’s going out of style via my go-to lazy dinner of late: Sauté anchovies, capers, chili flakes, and garlic until the latter’s golden, add crushed tomatoes (these, obvs), and let simmer until your pasta’s ready.

Feeling a very serious silver-jewelry phase coming on inspired by some major hand-me-downs—and these guys, with their everyday vibes.
