I am getting over a cold and spent my evening sitting in the same position while watching about five hours of the new Gossip Girl in order to fully smooth every edge of my brain so I could heal more quickly. Healers and doctors won’t tell you this, but It’s really important to watch something that washes over you like a talking screensaver when you’re sick, something that doesn’t ask too much of you, but that makes you feel like you’re being hugged by a big warm meme. The last time I was sick, I watched Something’s Gotta Give and the Isaac Mizrahi documentary, and I don’t remember any of it, but in my feverish haze I took indecipherably poetic notes in my Notes app, complete with line breaks. Some people complain of brain fog, I brag about brain arctic sea smoke. When the narrative is eclipsed by the softness of the sweaters the characters are wearing, that’s when you know that you’ve chosen the exactly correct media to ensure speedy healing and divine inspiration. These stories are making me feel better too! Between arctic cocooning and vegan items at Trader Joe’s and a more expensive Carnival cruise (say it ain’t so) and the current brilliance of Orion and the artier side of San Jose Del Cabo, we’ve got all the stories to make you feel like you’re getting wrapped up in a cashmere throw. I must drink my 57th cup of turmeric tea while listening to music at a certain frequency that will knock the illness out of me once and for all. Have a wonderful (long) weekend!

It’ll now cost more to surf the web on their Wi-Fi, and an automatic gratuity will be factored in. Well, I can’t argue with paying the on-board staff more for their labor and maybe it’s a good opportunity to take an internet break while at sea.

Orion is going to be especially visible this month, along with a bunch of his dear friends, like Taurus the Bull, Castor, and Pollux. Orion is the kind of constellation that I can always spot because of his bright bedazzled belt, but apparently he’s going to be even more recognizable in January. I’m really proud of him for stepping out of his shell and being a little more confident. He’s really struggled with low self worth and social anxiety, especially since the pandemic, and this is huge.
