There've been a few major things on my life bucket list over the years:
Be on the Price Is Right and give Bob Barker a cheek kiss. Start my own Babysitter's Club (Claudia Kishi 4 lyfe). Watch figure skating live at the Winter Olympics.
While the first two never came to childhood fruition, the third is finally happening.
In less than a week and a half, I leave for South Korea! My friend's brother-in-law is the reigning silver medalist in skeleton (which I'm fairly certain makes me an Olympic medalist by association), so we're going to cheer Matt on, eat our weight in kimchi and stalk Johnny Weir. I'm not sure which one I'm most excited about.
That means I've been laying low and working like a fiend all month in preparation for the big trip. No social media, no booze, lots of yoga, lots of designing. I've also made more time for reading — both books and web — which has lead to this lovely and completely random list of links.
See y'all in South Korea for soju, noraebang 노래방 (karaoke) and a whole lot of Gangnam dancing.
I'd like to stuff my face with this Yotom Ottolenghi three-course feast.
I need to visit this Wes Anderson-inspired café immediately.
I've become weirdly obsessed with learning about cryptocurrency. This is the best, unbiased article I've found.
Why you should quit social media.
Six fairy tales for the modern woman. (via Cup of Jo)
Finished A Little Life. It's the most impactful book I've read in a long time (warning: also very sad).
It's Oscar season! I, Tonya was so good, and if you haven't seen Call Me By Your Name yet, go now. The monologue at the end of the movie is so touching.
My all-time fave Oscar looks: Lauren Hutton ('75) & Michelle Williams ('06).
Frances McDormand, for the win. (Also, her thoughts on aging.)
