11, 19, 22?

11. Something you want to do again next year?

i spent so much time outside this spring/summer even if it was just sitting on my teeny tiny porch messing around on tumblr. i am going to do that again. it made me so quietly happy. maybe i should get an outdoor space heater and do it in the fall too.

19. What’re you excited about for next year?

getting my shit together and finally renovating my kitchen! i’ve been meaning to do this for three years now. it’s very daunting, but it will be worth it in the end.

also, seeing the postal service when they play in pittsburgh!

22. Favorite place you visited this year?

after like a decade of false starts in trip planning, my family finally went to Trieste, which is where my dad’s family is from. it was extraordinarily picturesque, but more importantly i got to eat so much bread and fancy olive oil.

candelabra, white chiffon?

candelabra - Are you afraid of the dark? If not, what do you fear?

I like the dark a lot, but I am afraid of noises in the dark. If I hear something weird with my lights on, I don't really care. But, if I hear something in the dark? I will be turning on the light until my fear dies down. (Unless I'm super tired, then I don't care about anything and will ignore it)

white chiffon  - Do you want to get married? Why or why not?

Yes, I think so. I go back and forth on it. Sometimes I can only picture myself getting married to someone I've been with for a very long time and wholly trust, but other times I find the idea of running away with someone I've known for a week and getting married in Vegas to be especially romantic.

the movie with the girl that kept changing places in a painting is the witches, the one with angelica huston i think?

FUCK YOU ARE RIGHT

I haven't watched Witches since I was like 7 years old, I just remember being scared shitless, I completely forgot that that but was in there as well, thank you kindly 💕

4, 11, 17 for the book ask?

hiiii thank u!! 💖💖💖💖

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

Many! But I think I'd have to say China Miéville, I really enjoyed The city and the city and I'm excited to check out his other stuff.

11. What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?

Most of the books I read have been out for a while, honestly, I tend to favour classics and very rarely read new releases unless it's a living author I follow (there aren't that many and also Bodoc died so 😢). So for funsies I'll talk about the oldest book I read this year which I think was probably Victor Hugo's first novel, written when he was very young at the beginning of the 19th century, Bug-Jargal. I wasn't expecting it to love it as much as I did! Extremely interesting in the context of when it was written and also of the author's later evolution in thought. Really cool.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

For sure! I was really taken aback with how lovely I found Una viuda difícil by Conrado Nalé Roxlo. When I was a child I was a big fan of La escuela de las hadas which is a children's book that my mum used to love when she was herself a kid, so when I saw two plays by him at a really good price I decided to buy them and see. I don't read a lot of plays, I'd only read this sole children's book, and they were from the 40s, so I didn't know what to expect. I ended up loving them deeply, laughing out loud at many points and feeling extremely endeared with the way he treated his characters and his stories. One of my favourite reads this year.

2023 favorites

tagged by @godzilla-en-mexico

Albums

This list is a lot shorter if I confine myself to just stuff from 2023. Some albums what are new this year what I liked are:

Algiers - Shook Protomartyr - Formal Growth in the Desert Wednesday - Rat Saw God Boygenius - The Record Mandy Indiana - i’ve seen a way Death & Vanilla - Flicker New Pornographers - Continue as a Guest White Poppy - Sound of Blue Home Front - Games of Power Bruise Control - Useless for Something

Also special mentions for Jeanines - Don't Wait For a Sign, Lande Hekt - House Without a View, Ex-Void - Bigger Than Before, Ribbon Stage - Hit With the Most, The Beths - Expert in a Dying Field and Clear Channel - Hell, which are all really fun albums from 2022 except the Clear Channel one which is from 2020, and all of which I only heard this year. They would've been among my best of 2022 if I knew about them at the time.

Books

I think I actually read four books that are new for 2023 this year, Anything That Moves by Jamie Stewart, Our Trade Unions by Nigel Flanagan, Dance Your Way Home by Emma Warren, and Vehicle by Jen Calleja. As for what my actual favourite books of the year were, probably Vehicle, What We Don't Talk About by JoAnn Wypijewski, The Baudelaire Fractal by Lisa Robertson, Umastered by Katherine Angel, Devil House by John Darnielle, Disnaeland by DD Johnston. Oh, and I have like extremely mixed feelings for complicated reasons about Pearls From Their Mouth by Pear Nuallak, but mostly positive about that one. Sag Harbor by Colson Whitehead and Life is Elsewhere by Milan Kundera were really good as well.

Film

Killers of the Flower Moon is my favourite new film of 2023 cos I think it's the only new film I've watched this year. Other than that, think I watched Bodies Bodies Bodies, River's Edge, Halloween, Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Do the Right Thing, Death of Stalin, Videodrome and But I'm a Cheerleader for the first time this year, all those films have their merits.
