10 Things We're Doing Besides Documenting Documentary-Making
This week’s A Few Things is a fave—and not just for us, either. As soon as we finished recording, the perennially angsty #Alex barged into the recording room exclaiming “I LOVE this guy!” We think you’ll feel the same way: Take a listen as next-big-thing filmmaker Ben Nabors breaks down writing, producing, and directing...and what it feels like when most of your documentary subjects try to block you from showing your films.
erica’s things
Dabbing my eyes listening to all the personal stories in Death, Sex, & Money’s series on student loans (esp. the ones in part II!).
Thinking about a fennel salad since last Monday. The one from Café Altro Paradiso in NYC is 1) outstanding and 2) seemingly way simple to replicate.
Bagging some airline miles for taking a Lyft and booking an Airbnb. (The question of whether frequent-flier programs are still a thing in 2017 remains.)
Feeling remarkably good about this minimalist, sturdy, and under-$100 bed frame.
Planning a trip to Sardinia—I’m gonna stay a couple nights here, eat here, and drink wine here, but what else? Hit me.
claire’s things
Getting way, way more into SFMoma’s text-for-art project than I thought I would. It’s a totally addictive (and poetic! and funny! and genius!) way to discover art.
Thinking they should consider renaming the cult-y Altitude Oil to Underground Oil ‘cause this stuff is *clutch* on a steamy, stinky subway platform.
Feeling like a very fortunate fly-on-the-wall listening to Mario Testino’s bite-size podcast episodes featuring convos with fashion heavy-hitters (Kate! Kendall! Tonne! Hamish!) on their work together.
Bemoaning the loooong delivery timelines for couches—where exactly am I supposed to sit for the next three months?!—and putting points in the “pro” column for this (flat-pack!) beauty’s speediness.
Flagging the very smart (and, according to a friend, very easy) Homepay, a service that sets you up with all the headachey tax and legal stuff to pay people like nannies and home health aides on the books.

Putting in my marathon-training miles in the softest running shorts I’ve ever sported..
