Midweek Obsessions, Vol. 94
Justin Casselle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Susan Gibson!!! ORZO PASTA SALAD!!!!!!!!!!
I had an excellent, jam-packed weekend and am glad to be writing this in the afterglow of a friend’s wedding, karaoke, and some much-needed in-bed-staring-at-the-wall time over the Memorial Day weekend. My partner is doing the lion’s share of the housework while I take on a new full-time job and scale back the many part-time gigs I’ve been piecing together over the last few years. Live look at our apt:
It’s a time of major transition on every front, and I am learning new ways of taking care of myself.1 But I’m also repeating the old ways here and there, like re-watching Galaxy Quest and its attendant 2019 documentary, Never Surrender (a perfect double feature imo, and available on Kanopy2 right now).
🎞️ Speaking of movies
My friend (and a person I deeply admire) Justin Casselle made a short film about long-distance friendships that is so poignant and so true, it made me ache to watch it.
Justin is a huge talent but also a great person, qualities that are extra fun when paired together. You can find more about him and his burgeoning career in film and TV on his website.
