Things I Did in June

say.....it's been a long 6 months

Well this month kinda flew didn’t it? I knew when I was complaining about how slow January was that the rest of the year would just zoom and I was correct. May was lowkey a blur (still waiting on Florida digis, Aileen) and then June has just been awful and terrible. We can only hope July is better (I will be on a plane to the UK on July 31 but everything until then will be horrible). Expect to hear from me way less this month but try not to take it personally. I was all cozy in bed yesterday, ready to read my book, when it dawned on me that I have exactly 30 days and it put me in such a foul mood that I had to just go to sleep.

Things I Watched

The New York Times released a list of the top 100 movies of the 21st century and everyone was able to create their own ballot. Here’s mine:

Otherwise, I watched Rear Window, Emma., Mulan, and Prisoner of Azkaban.

I recommend Rear Window if you want to watch a stodgy old man complain about how awful his life is that Grace Kelly wants to marry him (it’s actually a good movie). Emma. is for when you feel like you want to pine over a blond man (“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more” makes me want to die), Mulan is for when you’re wrapping dumplings with your mom, and Prisoner of Azkaban when you’re cleaning your room until 1am.

Also, Girls.

Things I Read

Demon Copperhead

This was really good! I’ve never read David Copperfield and I don’t really care to, so I thought this was nice. Kept my attention for sure. Really, really frustrating at times but I really enjoyed it.

The Summer We Ran

I can’t even talk about this. It was dumb as fuck and the writing was awful. The author is a lawyer at some hoity toity law firm in DC and you can tell because it some of the most stunted, inorganic writing I’ve ever read. Jesus Christ.

Things I Bought

The Glossier lip oil/glaze is actually soooooo plush. I love it and use it basically everyday. Also I got this set at Aerie (shorts / top); just worn just by itself, I look like I belong in jail but I paired it with a black tank top and it helped immensely. My mom asked me if I was wearing pajamas the other day. And you might be thinking, “But Jessie, don’t you also have a blue vertical stripe button up from J.Crew?” (or not, because why are you keeping track of my closet) and you’d be correct but I really liked the shorts and I think it’ll pair well with my navy cashmere sweater, especially when I’m in Scotland bc I hear it can get quite chilly.

Also Aly works at L’Oreal and it was their friends and family sale so I got some goodies. It very obviously was L’Oreal just clearing out back stock but whatever. I got this Lancome mascara set for like $12 because they didn’t have my YSL Lash Clash in the sale. I’ve tried one so far and it was ass but I also have very finicky lashes. And then this Youth to the People set for like $4 bc I love the cleanser and moisturizer and it was only $4. And then a double set of Urban Decay’s setting spray for like $8 and then a travel spray of Prada Paradoxe. I haven’t compared the two yet but when I smelled Paradoxe for the first time, it reminded me of One Direction Our Moment but none of their notes are the same so maybe I’m just crazy.

And Other Shit You Missed

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the Jeff Bezos wedding…actually I can, this is my blog. Ugly ass carpet (who goes to Venice just to get married on a carpet???), ugly ass dress (buttons going down INTO THE SKIRT????), and even uglier people. Everyone at that wedding should be ashamed. And again, I ask, WHY WAS SYDNEY SWEENEY THERE??? Jeff Bezos was in the same eating club as my brother at Princeton (Quadrangle Club) (here’s a photo):

Ugly ass nerd. The guy, not me. Anyways, easily Quad’s most famous alum and do you know what he gives them? He gives the entire house one (1) Amazon Prime account. Thanks for the sacrifice, guy.

Superman press tour still serving. Kind of. London, Paris, LA, New York, and Beijing are still on the horizon, but they went to Rio last week.

Rachel, my goddess, I hate the bust situation but you still look pretty so whatever. I am also just now realizing the dress is a bit sheer.

But she also wore this green suit and looks 7 ft tall so you win some, you lose some.

Glastonbury looks cool…um Taylor wore not terrible outfits this past week…if I had to rank, probably 1. Tight End University party, 2. Balmain Barbie, 3. MAGA Summit, and 4. Miu Miu boxers. Like I know that she knows that I know she’s a democrat and I’m not asking for much but like a little self-awareness, sometimes, you know?

Speaking of, call your Senators! They’re debating the fuck ass bill this week. (202) 224-2981.

That’s about it.
