You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism
Vampires, Aliens, and New Jersey
How has your summer been, lovers? The heat wave in Philly finally broke and it feels amazing to exist in temperatures below 96 for once. Here’s what I’ve been loving lately:
♥️ Running my first 10k. It was a beautiful morning, the definition of “crisp”. I did perfectly unremarkable and I am very pleased with that for a first try! Now that I know how it goes, I think I was overly conservative with my energy. I’m confident I could have easily shaved off another 15mins where I am now.
♥️ Alien: Romulus. I’m sure you saw that coming… Returning the franchise to its horror roots was definitely the right choice. It was the first time I screamed out loud in a movie theatre in a very long time! 2024 has been the year of the movie date overnight and I would like to see that trend continue. It’s the perfect classic, casual Americana date night requires no overthinking. If it ain’t broke…
♥️ Matcha lattes. Unfortunately, I am learning that cutting down on caffeine and prioritizing a good night’s sleep are both vital to living a fantastic life. I hate that the impact of healthy habits like this are real, I was hoping it was all a scam so I could continue chugging energy drinks in (jittery) peace, but sadly, I am absolutely thriving by swapping out the chemicals for green tea 😔
♥️ Looking forward to the cottage getaway I booked for my birthday in October. I found the most perfect, quiet space to spend a long weekend and I am counting down the days! I am a city girl at heart, but I’m hoping I get a good glimpse at the stars when I step away from all the light pollution. Where do you think it will fall on the bortle scale?
♥️ AMC’s ‘Interview with a Vampire’. I am so shocked with how much I like this show! I am not at all in the target demographic. I am generally “Vampire Neutral” and don’t care much for the time period it is set in, but the quality of the writing is undeniable. I can’t believe what they have pulled with this series. The first season is on Netflix now and I am completely drinking the type O negative kool-aid.
♥️ Yoga teacher training! I mentioned last issue how I have fallen in love with Yin Yoga. My teacher encouraged me to attend an immersive workshop and I decided to go for it! This will have a small effect on my availability at the tailend of September, but that’s why we always plan ahead, right…?
♥️ LoveNote going back to weekly in October! Giving myself a summer break has been for the best after moving across the country. I miss you all, but I was naturally very burnt out. I put a lot of work into this writing project and I am so honored to get the response my readers go out of their way to give me. I can’t wait to debut the new features that I have been playing with behind the scenes.
Good things are worth the wait…
