A Place Both Wonderful and Strange
Have you heard? Oh, have you heard? Twin Peaks will be returning to primetime where the series left off. David Lynch and Mark Frost will be in full creative control of all the episodes, and though I’m a bit scared as to how the show will translate in this decade, I have faith that Lynch will make sure it’s nothing short of spectacular! This show is my heart and I even have symbols that were illustrated throughout its run on both of my wrists.
Speaking of David Lynch, he and my other greatest influence (none other than thy holy Patti Smith) sat down for a conversation on the BBC network where they discussed Twin Peaks, ideas, and Pussy Riot! Watch the exchange of these two powerhouses of dreams and beauty communicate here.

Bubbli: the iPhone app for making dynamic spherical photos called bubbles. You can reproduce the entire scene around you–including sound, creating moving panoramas. I am so fascinated.

A self-care playlist: A playlist I created with some of my favorite songs to listen to when times are tough
And lastly, a cup of “damn fine coffee”! One of my favorite coffee companies is Blue Bottle. I love their cafe in Williamsburg, but the good news is that you can order their delicious goodies online even if you’re not in New York. A great recommendation is the Nicaragua Nueva Segovia Buena Vista- the flavoring includes Nougat, cocoa, mixed berry, and pear soufflé!
