10 Things I Can’t Live Without, in an order that means absolutely nothing.
Crashing (TV Show)— Phoebe Waller-Bridge wrote a perfect one-season tv show that does not rhyme with tea rag. All the characters are deeply flawed, perfectly cast, and working through every human high note: sex, truth, art, friendship, death, love, food. I watch at least once a month because even though I don’t believe in best friends, this show is mine.
Candy Corn—This is me, standing in the gap for The Worlds Most Perfect Candy as October approaches and the perennial haters emerge. I love you, Candy Corn.
Post-it Notes— Right now I’m using Post-it Notes to bookmark four books. The one stuck to my fridge has a grocery list on it. There are several pressed on my desk, reminding me to read more June Jordan; to overnight my husband’s Passport to him in Colorado; to finish the article about Peaky Blinders Season 1, Episode 5; to add the song I Can’t Live If Living Is Without You to my article on song covers. Annotating books is anathema, so I write on a Post-it instead and stick it to the page.
