I (read: I supervised) finally put a shelf up in my kitchen.  Its surface purpose is to hold my mugs, but more importantly, I needed a place to display my Boba Fett boba tea artwork because what’s the point of a kitchen, really, if not to display crossover art that showcases your love of both Star Wars and boba tea?!?

Of course, Avengers: Endgame played a big part of my week. Between that and finally starting season 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale, I might be a bit emotionally distraught.  Music helps. Specifically, I’ve been listening to new albums by Patrick Park and Catfish and The Bottlemen on repeat.  I was able to see Patrick Park last week for the first time in a few years and it reminded me that he was the first person I told aloud and in person that I was moving to Los Angeles all those years (10+) ago…

Next week, it’s Dead Sara time! Any opportunity to see one of the best rock bands around must be taken and next week the band plays twice at The Echo!
