I'm Here To Help


Dear Mamacita,

I find that I have too much time on my hands. Can you suggest any ways to waste it all?

Many thanks,
Faithful Reader


Well, Faithful Reader, I am here to help. Here are some of my new favorite places to waste time on the Internet:

What To Wear This Very Second has adorable illustrations, witty observations and excellent advice. My favorite: Don't dress your age, dress your rank. Sheila Jackson Lee would be proud.

The Sleeper is interested in sleep, beds and all things related, as am I. But she's also funny.

McSweeney's is a time-waster non-pareil. I am especially fond of the Lists.

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.
