This was supposed to post last Friday, but, uh, I forgot to actually schedule it. Because my birthday was last Thursday and on Friday I got on a plane to Bali and just didn’t even think about my blog. Because Bali.

So I’m posting last week’s Friday things today. Because I do what I want.

The best pick-me-up playlist.

The Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta

THESE BOOKS THESE BOOKS THESE BOOKS.

They are SO GOOD. If you haven’t read them yet, READ THEM NOW.

Hozier’s video for “Work Song”

It’s no secret that I’m a little bit obsessed with his freaking perfect voice. Also, he could make me love the man bun. Also also, the super simple, crazy effective choreography gives me mad chill bumps.

Clarissa Explains It All Novel!

My family didn’t have extended cable, aka Nickelodeon, until I was 12. Because of that, I don’t really have a cultural touchstone for this show the way a lot of my friends do. I remember watching it—there was the boy next door with the ladder who would come in to her room via the window (so scandalous!) and she had a phone that looked like a shoe or something. And that’s really all I remember. My Melissa Joan Hart show was more Sabrina, the Teenage Witch than it was Clarissa. But that doesn’t mean I’m notexcited about this book.

The Toast Compiles All the Arguments about Buffy (aka, the best show)

This is EVERYTHING.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
