no shade to my friends, i'm mostly laughing at My Brand. anyway this sucks

This was also my fifth concert this year, which feels like a feat as a parent of small kids? Love this for me, really

I have seen Metric like...3-4 times? Never got "Soft Rock Star". I will likely never see Charli XCX perform "Silver Cross" since she hasn't performed it since she toured for that album.

you're learning so well and so quickly 💖🔪💖

it is TIME. we are breaking out the curry this week, though with a far less exciting chocolate shape

look at all these extremely correct opinions!!

day *made*

I am cheering for Poptart!! My day brightens every time you post his photos

Time Out's best sandwich in the world was only "pretty great" to me? However, extremely reasonable line wait and price for the hype, and the baguette for sure tasted of the renowned quality one would expect from this city.

We interrupt statues to bring you my Parisian food snaps: a famous jambon-beurre sandwich, French Lay's flavors, one of the many patisseries displays, and a tasty lime and yuzu cream pie.

More statues at the Louvre I particularly enjoyed and why: the way the light hit this group pose; the marvel of delicate lace rendered in stone; the facial features that come through a veil; incredible expression in the body language.

This rendering of Mercury abducting Psyche was new to me! The poses are beautiful, almost a dancing helix that was apparently in vogue at the time. There's a great sense of a moment captured; up close, you can practically see all the active muscles of Mercury's toes.

Now we're at the Louvre. Now we're at the part where I fixate on statuary for much of my time in Paris, as foreshadowed by my love for Nike of Samothrace.
