That friend is my longtime friend and former roommate Rani and I put together a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.giveforward.com\/fundraiser\/r8t4\/we-can-help-rani-climb-out-of-depression\">Give Forward campaign<\/a> to help her re-set her life after her suicide attempt this winter. A lot of things lead to that attempt, but she has made and is continuing to make great forward strides. I&#8217;m trying to do anything I can think of to help and I would be grateful to anyone who would share the campaign link or give $5, $10, $20; anything will make a difference in her life.<\/p>\n<p>This week: First meeting of the UVNA with our board. Tried out Tatoco with Z &#038; Stacy. Carmen dropped off baked goods for Rise &#038; Roll. Unwindulaxed with a lot of How I Met Your Mother. Dinner at Native Foods with Z, Kirstie &#038; Jason. Cocktails @ Takito with Alison &#038; Emily. Bite\/Logan Square Farmer&#8217;s Market with Jen S. Jason Anderson showed up and we watched The Room with Stevie G. Review Revue @ Bar Deville.<\/p>\n<p>whatever happened to Baxendale?<br \/>\n<em>keep your bittersweet symphonies.<br \/>\ni&#8217;ll break your legs if you stop me dancing.<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Baxendale - Music For Girls\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FdJKUOI364E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Films watched 24th week of the year:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Damsels in Distress<br \/>\nThe Room<\/p>\n<p>I am shocked I only watched two movies this week. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1667307\/\">Damsels in Distress<\/a> was truly bizarre. There were some very funny moments in it, but it didn&#8217;t feel cohesive as a film, like something was missing. Greta Gerwig reminded me of Alicia Silverstone in Clueless, working towards causes she believed in that truly miss the point. Similarly, this film didn&#8217;t know what point it was trying to make.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I ever want to show anyone <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0368226\/\">The Room<\/a> at home ever again. I knew that crowd participation is a large part of why it&#8217;s so incredibly funny &#038; enjoyable, but Jason wanted to watch it and we indulged him. Pretty sure he thought Steven and I were big dorks talking to the screen, but he already knew we were dorks. Oh well, lesson learned. Don&#8217;t throw spoons at your home tv!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend Carmen is running the Chicago Marathon on behalf of Back on my Feet and her and her friend Brittany have started Rise and Run.
