In honor of the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, Flashback Friday to this photo I shot of the Duomo di Milano when I was 12. (Note the Jubilee 2000 banner on the façade; more about that in my post about the Pope back in May.) I'll never forget walking up the stairs from

the subway and seeing the cathedral seemingly rise from the ground as I emerged from the station, its spires golden in the sunlight.
(Also, a fun fact: Construction for the Milan Cathedral took 600 years; it was completed in 1965.)
Happy Opening Ceremony day!

Teared up twice during the latest A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode—first when Dunk gets his shield and tears up, and then in the end when Prince Baelor comes out and the OG Game of Thrones theme plays for the first time on this show in earnest. ;____;

Also, shout-out to Sarah Adina Smith; the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episodes she's directed have been incredible (although the entire show so far has been amazing of course).

#Dinner and [so many] #drinks [because we also went to a #wine tasting that was a really good deal of 8 glasses for 15 bucks] with my Dad tonight at Cooper's Hawk Winery and #Restaurant. 🍷 Also not pictured: my half of the fresh pretzel bread, and dessert.

Bummed that Green Day skipped the "I'm not a part of a MAGA agenda" part of "American Idiot" at the Super Bowl LX opening ceremony. 😔💔 Oh well. Throwback: www.tiktok.com/@artistsonth... & www.instagram.com/p/DO68ZZkDT-4
"🖕 I'm not a part of a MAGA agenda 🖕" Bucket list item achieved: I finally got to see my favorite band from high school (for both their & my 1st time at Riot Fest)! And I actually could literally *see*; thanks to the kindness of strangers, I was standing on a couch! Being 5'1"

Got tix to Broken Social Scene, Metric, & Stars in #Chicago! I've seen Metric at Lollapalooza in 2010 (for free—that's another story) & BSS at Pitchfork in 2016 but not indoors in a non-festival setting; excited to be in all my feelings indeed for "Anthems for a Seventeen Year‐Old Girl" etc.
