Titillating reality: Meryl Streep and i are highest friends. no longer actually, however at my last job, I met her at a photograph shoot we had in Washington, D.C. I greeted her in our lodge lobby, the place we shook hands and her first phrases to me were, “I’m Meryl” (duh). We made small talk as I helped her into her automobile to the White home, where the photograph shoot was happening. Then we met up with my other easiest buddy, Michelle Obama. needless to say, it was a magical day.

things he’s loving:

1. Carly Rae Jepsen’s E•mo•tion

yes, I’m talking about Carly Rae of “name Me possibly” repute and no, I’m now not kidding—i need everybody to be mindful just how improbable this LP is. Resplendent, even. overlook Taylor who and 198-what: that is the ’80s throwback album we need and deserve. Per the album title, each observe is as large and sweeping as the emotion it conjures up (I’m in reality into the flippancy of “Boy problems” and the righteous fury of “after I needed You”), a burst of technicolor that’ll have you ever belting in the shower as I so ceaselessly do. It’s fun with out being mindless, and it’s absolute good pop.

2. Please Like Me

this is an Australian comedy I stumbled upon by accident all the way through its first season (thanks Tumblr!) earlier than it discovered an American house on Pivot—and it’s the best tv convey you’re surely now not observing. folks have lazily when compared it to HBO’s ladies, not just because creator Josh Thomas writes for and stars in it, but as a result of it’s every other exhibit a few workforce of twentysomethings tiptoeing toward maturity. but don’t let that deter you; you’re not likely to search out every other express that handles humor and real-lifestyles darkness as deftly as PLM does. simply watch the pilot, which opens with the primary persona, Josh, discovering he’s gay as a result of his lady friend tells him so, and ends with him having to maneuver in along with his mom after her failed suicide attempt. It’s hilarious, heartbreaking, and eternally re-watchable. Season three starts subsequent month, so it’s time to binge-watch…again.

three. “I Fucking Hate My Cat

I’m a canine one that can’t have a dog in his apartment, so i’ve a cat named Franny as a substitute. Our relationship is resentful at worst and dispassionate at best possible: an immediate results of having to share area in a tiny Brooklyn rental, or that one time she dug a claw right into a surgical incision on my stomach (and that i threw her across the room by chance). I still love her, in fact, even when it saps up all my last vitality at the end of the day to do so. It’s a baffling dynamic, and person who I’ve by no means considered written out somewhat so in truth as it’s in Jen Vafidis’s essay. consider it a should-read for any person who secretly hates their cat—as i suspect many of you do.
