  A few things that are making me happy right now:
  
  This book excerpt about Marilyn Monroe’s personal effects. She was very un-materialistic, and very slender, apparently. I don’t know why everything about her is so interesting, but I’m obsessed. It’s easy to look at all of the glamorous images of her and forget that she was a real person, so I love learning more about what she was really like.
  
  This: Bulletproof Weeks by Matt Nathanson. I can’t stop listening to it.
  
  When your husband goes to Mexico for a week and knows just what to bring you home as a present. Flavoured tequilas for shots, adding to coffee, and as a tequila maker once told me “putting on your kid’s waffles before you send them off to school.” Solid advice.
  
  This amazing miracle in a bottle. I’ve tried a lot of frizz fighting serums in my day, and they usually leave you with that slicked back yet puffy look that is so equal parts chic and attractive. This one can go on wet or dry hair, and make your hair shiny and frizz-free, but never greasy. It is my new favourite product, we are best friends.

  A few things that have been stuck in my head lately:
  
  “Film noir gave us a term for the low-maintenance cheap-date type of woman, as personified by Ingrid Bergman and the other cool blondes. They were, in the gruff parlance, Class Acts. A Class Act does not bombard you with whimpering phone calls to the effect of why are you out with your mates watching the footie when you could be choosing sisal floor mats with me?
  
  A Class Act does not take a split badly, or if she does, does so without so much as a peep. A Class Act is the silhouette disappearing into the night that you will no doubt remember-but will never talk to again. A Class Act will spend a lot of time alone, drinking spirits. A Class Act will never emerge from a local church in a shower of petals. A Class Act will never be a mummy, yummy or otherwise.
  
  A Class Act will never have a husband who visit prostitutes. Forget I mentioned it.”- Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Love that book.
  
  “Summer left and no one said a word.”- Matt Nathanson
  
  “You are arguing that the fragile and rare thing is beautiful just because it’s fragile and rare. But that’s a lie, and you know it.”- The Fault in Our Stars
  
  “Fuck that, I say if I’m beautiful. I say if I’m strong … I will never apologize. I stand here and I’m amazing for you, not because of you. I am not who I sleep with … I am not my weight. I am myself.”- Amy Schumer
  
  “There is something absolutely divine — I mean, literally, the breath of God — in the ability to put someone else in your heart, to think of them first. But from the time of the greatest pornographer who ever lived, Shakespeare, we’ve demanded that love be something more. No, fuck Shakespeare — since the Song of Songs! And what happens is, the utter grandeur and magnificence of what love actually is gets overshadowed by this disappointment that it’s not the way we fantasized it should be.”- Jim, 55

  Last Friday night we went to see Matt Nathanson at the Fox Theater in Oakland. The Fox is gorgeous, I love the enormous gold statues flanking the stage, and it also has 11 bars, so that’s beautiful as well.
  
  It was also First Friday in downtown Oakland, I’ve been hearing about it for a long time but just hadn’t made it down to check it out. They close down a whole street in downtown Oakland and there are bands and food trucks and artists and vendors selling all kinds of things. There was a school bus full of vintage clothes, I had my eye on a faux fur vest when Derek unceremoniously dragged me away.
  
  They had a bunch of old cars and really neat motorcycles, and I even saw a few rap battles, and I had an amazing tri-tip sandwich for supper. It was a really neat crowd and I’d definitely like to bring some people back there with us next time.
  
  The concert was wonderful, Matt has been my favourite since the first time I heard Still, and if anything we are even closer now as he made every single person sing “I Want to Dance with Somebody” by Whitney Houston at the top of their lungs and he wouldn’t stop until everyone joined in, and also qualified a song where he talks about Jewish girls with “I’m a pervert, not a racist”.

  Here are a few things that are making me happy right now:
  
  He actually lives in San Francisco, and it’s really through sheer force of will that I haven’t stalked out his address and crept around in front of his house, but it’s likely I won’t be able to hold out forever.
  
  We almost always ate lunch at home when I was in elementary school, and my mom wouldn’t buy us any “junk food” for after school snacks, but every once in awhile she would break down and let us have dunkaroos. It was a dark day when they stopped making them, but yesterday I found this. I will be most likely be clearing my schedule this week in favour of eating mass quantities and then passing out in a sugar coma.
  
  The best co-pilot a girl ever had. Cherries are my most favourite
  
  I’m reading Women by Charles Bukowski, it’s definitely not for everyone but I’d been hearing about him for so long that I decided to check it out. The book has a lot of graphic language and it kind of feels like he’s trying to be shocking, but here are some lines that I liked:
  
  “Glendoline presumed that the reader was as fascinated by her life as she was – which was a deadly mistake. The other deadly mistakes she had made were too numerous to mention.”
  
  “Few beautiful women were willing to indicate in public that they belonged to someone. I had known enough women to realize this. I accepted them for what they were, and love came hard and very seldom.”
