I thought the third season of House of the Dragon was worth paying attention to for the costume design alone, but in the aftermath of the finale, I now find myself embarking on a treat that I long figured I would save for some future (possibly depressed) version of myself: a rewatch of all of Game of Thrones.

Well tragically, I had to give my friend Kevin my 10am Odyssey IMAX 70mm ticket in the end, but he reported back saying that 1) the film is a lot more enjoyable upon a second viewing, and 2) La Dinastia remains the GOATed post-Lincoln Square/Center grub spot. And he got the green sauce this time! It’s mid-August, which means most of the big fashion mags are dropping their September issues right about now. Let’s take a gander, shall we?

Woke up with a bit of a cold (not to be French but it’s all this AC!), however it’s already clearing up so in god I will trust to make it to my The Odyssey IMAX 70mm tomorrow… Speaking of which, this interview Chris Stanton did with a retired IMAX projectionist for Vulture is fantastic.

The summer grain bowl at Stonefruit Espresso + Kitchen in Bed-Stuy consists of a hearty portion of butter beans, sugar snap peas, farro, feta, red onion, and a quite yummy vinaigrette. I add the tofu and then spend all afternoon while WFH congratulating myself on achieving Ultimate Lunch.

it’s called the odyssey bc it’s odd he’s still at sea / Universal Pictures There is a cop-out argument to be made in that I actually wish we could stand around the fire (internet) and argue about 3,000-year-old epic poetry forever.

I pulled a morning shift at the Teen Vogue Fest “networking lounge” on Saturday, and it was sweet to meet so many students, especially high schoolers who’d traveled to New York to mingle with each other and learn about fashion/media.

I’m trying to get over my fear of the weight room this summer, so last week I finally paid a trainer to come to my Y and show me how to use a few machines (we took a lot of videos, which was key).

Based on how quickly a bajillion people started fighting in my replies over whether the Trojan Horse canonically appears in The Iliad, The Odyssey, or Aeneid (<-the most correct answer as it turns out; my apologies to Professor Ted Tarkow your efforts at Mizzou fall 2011 were apparently for naught) I do believe the classics discourse is alive and well in this nation!
