Who Weekly
•••
The parasocial dynamics of the internet concern me and yet… I willingly give ~3 hours of my week to Lindsey and Bobby’s musings on Who-lebrities. Who else could wax poetically about the casting decisions of Dancing with the Stars, the weird wasteland of celebrity sponsored content, or the state of Rita Ora’s career? 💫

Family Lexicon by Natalia Ginzburg
•••
In the essay ‘My Vocation,’ Ginzburg wrote: “Now I no longer wanted to write like a man, because I had had children and I thought I knew a great many things about tomato sauce, and even if I didn’t put them in my story it helped my vocation that I knew them.” This book is a novelized memoir of fascism in Italy from the vantage point of someone who knows a great many things about tomato sauce.

Bingo
•••
I went to a casino and found myself bored to death by slot machines and Blackjack. Want the thrill of your life? Play bingo. Want to experience zen washing over you as you hear a sequence of letters and numbers? Play bingo. Want to get into sports betting? Don’t; play bingo. You might even win $100.

Playing scopa
•••
While in Marseille, my husband and I purchased a beautiful deck of cards, only to discover it was not a standard 52-card deck but instead an Italian 40-card deck. So, we decided to learn a new game to play with the deck and that is how we discovered the marvelous game of scopa! Rules are easy and intuitive. Game is addictive. After learning the basics, we proceeded to play scopa every chance we got – on the beach, at bistros, while drinking spritzes… Now, we carry the deck with us everywhere we go. And I dream of visiting the Jersey shore and playing with some Italian grannies.
