funny things

✷ cuando se murió la Reina Isabel y Paddington Bear tuiteó algo relacionado con eso, alguien le contestó: ¡Paddington, pero tú eres peruano! tuiteado con la intención de decirle: no seas ridículo como Martha Debayle. pero ya no más, porque ahora Paddington ya tiene un pasaporte inglés.

✷ I'm still letting my thoughts simmer on this read about how nowadays in movies everybody is beautiful and nobody is horny. just leaving it out there, maybe I'll come back with more thoughts.

enjoyed and enjoying

✷ I've been meaning to go out for a run for two weeks in a row and I haven't done it. keeping that in mind, I got some bananas during the weekend to eat before going out. since that didn't happen, the bananas started getting super ripe and one thing about me is: I don't like super ripe bananas. so I was forced to bake banana bread instead of going out for a run. I used this recipe and it was great and super fast to make. the only thing I'd recommend is to put like less than half of the sugar in the recipe. great use of my running bananas.

✷ todavía estoy leyendo Long Island y por fin terminé Pedro Páramo pero no me pregunten nada al respecto. en otras noticias, me súper piqué con Imagina Que Rompes Todo de Lina Munar Guevara y lo terminé hace rato. qué joya, qué bonito, pude haber leído 100, 200, 300 páginas más. es una historia coming of age sobre Melissa, que está a punto de graduarse de lo que entendí que es prepa (no sé el equivalente colombiano). la seguimos durante un fin de semana en donde conocemos a su tía trans, a su mamá que la abandonó, a sus amigas de la infancia, a su primer novio, y descubrimos si es real esa frase que dice que "una sale del barrio pero el barrio no sale de una."

✷ watched a bunch of chick flicks (plus Joker: Folie à Deux) and if I have to recommend just one, it'd be A Tourist's Guide to Love. of course, it's super cheesy and, for some reason, Rachael Leigh Cook is wearing wedges the whole movie (SHE'S A TOURIST FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!) but Vietnam looks gorgeous!!! Plus the male interest is really good looking. these movies are preparing me for all the cheesy Christmas movies I'll watch starting in November.
