Top 3 coolest things that have ever happened to me:

1. Catching Karen O's microphone when she chucked it into the crowd at a festival in London in 2023
2. Taking the microphone (yes the one in the picture) home
3. Looking at the microphone whenever I want every day of my life

I love Paris because you can think of almost any film you'd like to see and chances are there's a screening of it in some indie cinema somewhere. I'm going to see In the Mood for Love for the first time this weekend!

I love listening to music on the go and I don't think I'm ready to invest in a walkman sadly

I recently started drinking coffee again and I have a question: why is France (i.e. traditional French bistro culture) so bad at coffee?
