After pining for spring in my last Weekly(ish) Stuff & Things post, it has finally arrived. I’m writing this with the windows to my house opened up and a can of rosé next to me. Along with the nice weather (and my daily Zyrtec), here are some other things that are great…
-I wrapped up my last Stuff & Things post with my enthusiasm for the True/False Film Festival. Since it hadn’t been held in its usual form since 2020, I eased my way back in and only saw six films rather than my normal 11-12. It was a wonderful weekend and two of the films really have stood out to me even all these weeks later. If you can track down Let the Little Light Shine or The Territory in a theater or on a streaming service near you, do not hesitate.
-My 40 by 40 list contains a lot of travel that I needed to knock out over the next few months. Thankfully, all of those trips have officially been scheduled, flights booked, etc. Let the anticipation begin!
-Like my liquid sleep body wash, my liquid ‘wake the hell up’ body wash also does the work.
-I’m seeing Hamilton at the gorgeous Fox Theater in St. Louis this weekend. To say I am excited is a vast understatement.
-Get you a friend who would hop a bullpen wall to join a brawl with you.
-One of my upcoming trips involves getting my first tattoo. I found an incredible women-owned shop and I am ready…or I will be.
-I feel this comic in my soul.
-A couple of recent reads I love include more of Kate Baer’s fantastic and wrenching poetry and this beautiful coming-of-age novel by local author Alex George.
That’s it for this week. What are you looking forward to this spring?
