if you like a throwback…
listen to the Jonas Brothers
(Spotify)
Last night I went to their concert: Five Albums. One Night aka JoBros eras tour. I came out of this experience with three feelings.
Regret over not purchasing tickets to Taylor Swift‘s Era’s tour. The Jonas Brothers were good, but only Beyoncé matches the performance that is Taylor Swift on the Eras tour - costume changes, choreography, and set design.
This leg of the Jonas Brothers is the Joe show. Nick and Kevin, step aside, post-divorce announcement Joe Jonas is here to slay. For example: one of his two outfits consisted of a vintage sleeveless band-t highlighting his toned tattooed arms, tight leather pants, a chain around two belt loops, black and white Adidas Sambas, and last, but most certainly not least, a pearl choker.
Although I am #TeamSophie; tonight, the concert has renewed my crush on Joe Jonas.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Kevin Jonas. Love you, Kevin!

listen to his new album New Blue Sun
(Spotify)
I listened to it while writing this and completing job applications. Will be saved for all future airplane rides, quiet time, and writing time.
if you like health/wellness and documentaries…
watch Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones
(Netflix)
Discover the power of other communities’ and societies’ rituals, eating habits, faiths, and everyday activities with author Dan Buettner as he travels to the world’s “Blue Zones” (areas where people routinely live to 100 years of age). Highly recommend and there are only four 40-minute episodes (a great binge).
if you like being a fly on the wall and hearing about people’s inner lives…
watch Couples Therapy
(Paramount+, Showtime)
This show has re-ignited my idea of becoming a therapist/counselor. I think many people could watch Orna (the couple’s therapist) and see her cool, calm, inquisitive demeanor and say “Oh, I could do that!” I am one of them. Also, she brings her dog to work so that’s a dream workplace environment for me.
if you like American Psycho, John Wick, and suspenseful assassin stories…
watch Killer
(Netflix)
I love a suspense psychological thriller. An Assassin goes on a revenge mission after he fails to kill a target and he learns the price of his failure. It seems like every movie of this genre I see these days (a nod to the John Wick franchise), features a loyal dog (typically a pitbull). Spoiler, but also PSA, no dogs were killed — you’ll see. Anyway, it’s on the longer side so it’s great for a real night time movie viewing experience.

(Interview Magazine)
I could hear these two vividly conversing in my head. I love them both and consume a lot of their content so this was a treat.

read Christ Evans: American Marvel
(GQ 2011)
A great glimpse into the young Evans. What a flirty handsome goofball. It is crazy to think about the fame he came to after this interview. That was 13 years ago at this point!
