tiny newsletter #128: 2 movies, 2 books, 3 friends of the newsletter (fotn)

hello helloooo,

how are you? july is absolutely zooming along on my end. i am gunning for more swimming and less humidity in august!! 

this week, i...

📺 watched fly me to the moon. fotn alison hacker's bff anna garcia is in this new movie as scarlett johansson's fantastic assistant!! that’s enough of a rzn to run to see it asap, but you’ll also love its delightful romcom apollo 11 plot. 

📺 watched princess mononoke. fotn eleonora saravalle’s fav childhood movie, like all studio ghibli movies, is truly beautiful - i’d watch it for the artwork alone. we also snuck in mcflurry’s, a real pro move on a 90 degree day lol. i rec both!

📚 read bird milk & mosquito bones. in this memoir, filmmaker priyanka mattoo chronicles her family's globe-trotting story across 32 cities. her chapters are streaked with love, honesty, and the search for home - i enjoyed every word.

📚 read four thousand weeks. ty to fotn erica gardner for rec’ing this book, about how life is inherently short and embracing your time limits can help you get the most out of it. it’s good advice, esp for 2 ppl w foolishly long to-do lists.

🧊 an ode to thermal bags 🧊 i don't own a cooler but guess what's cheaper and works great? this bag + an ice pack + whatever you want to stay cold! i zipped down to bk w fruit and it was still cold by the time i got there. 

💌 and that's the tiny letter! thank you for reading, xo aud
