Lol about the Spotify listening age. Mine was 24, bc I haven’t gotten to play my own music in the car for 6 years, I don’t know any recent music for myself, and I’ve been hearing my 21yo kid’s music since she was 15. Which means k-pop music apparently now for me. I’m 48. 🤪 No idea what age it might have said without my kiddo’s musical influence.
Always love reading about your adventures. I can’t believe it’s been almost 9 years since I took your memoir writing bootcamp at Literary Arts!
Love the honesty about sucking at drawing! There's something powerful about choosing to be bad at something on purpose, especially in public. That choice turns every sketch into its own kinda meditation, no perfomance anxiety attached. The electrician probably sensed that energy.
By the way, have you discovered the Liberation market yet? It's much better than Cours Saleya and not so touristy. Go straight up Jean Medecin on the tram (get off at the train station stop) or just walk up - about 20 minutes from your place - and be amazed. Especially at the seafood/fish section.
Hey there! In response to what you could consider (or should be) listening to. I'm mid-50s and Spotify ranks me mid-40s, so that's a boon. This year when Rolling Stone came out with their top 100 albums of 2025, I went through the list, picked out albums that peaked my interest, pulled up the top 1-3 songs from those artists and put them in a playlist that I've been listening to since. I kick songs out I don't like! It's made Geese's "Getting Killed" my top album of the year. Something like this could work for you! Or for anyone who'd like their Spotify age to trend younger than they are....
What a lovely moment with the young man — you two do have the best energy! And yes, hard won and beautifully generously shared. I adore getting to follow along with you. ❤️❤️❤️
Ha! Most of the lyrics are in Korean, so definitely not! 🤪 I can’t even decipher most of the syllable sounds — but my daughter can! 🤣

No skin in the game! Right? Thank you for reading. xN
C'est la France! How can you not love it?

Oh, yes all dogs deserve croissants!

You created your own algorithm ! I’m okay with being 73!! 😂 I’d just like new music. Thank you
Okay cool. Well those best of lists that are everywhere right now are pretty fun to hack
