These are truly the end times.
And if we’re all gonna bow out soon, I’ll be damned if I do it before showing the world my authentic, genuine, rumpled-in-the-morning self.
Also, if it turns out we make it through these weeks somehow unscathed, this will go a great way toward helping me get over my perfectionism. My head knows there is no such thing as perfection, but the heart wants what it wants.
So here, on a Monday morning in which I woke up late (well, later than I’d like) and realized I didn’t even program a proper recap post (my posts are typically written and programmed three or four days in advance) I decided to give you a peek at what I look like first thing in the morning, before taking a shower or fixing my hair or brushing my teeth. I think I took these even before I peed. As Kelly LeBrock once remarked, “This is my hair in the morning.” Unfiltered. Imperfect. Non-‘Portrait: Studio Lighting’-style. On with the recap…
The week began post-Easter with some salacious baskets on some nearly-naked male celebrities.
This recipe is for the best banana bread I’ve had in eons.
Comfort food: mung beans.
A spring-like shrimp & bulgur salad.
Chris and Scott Evans: brotherly love.
When six is just right, but feels like too much.
This is not the gayest photo of me, but it’s pretty damn close.
An almost-forgotten Boston friend.
More awakening, more awareness.
Hunks of the Day included Scott Evans, Lance Gross, Ethan Slater, Kevin Bruce, and Trevor Noah.
