The worst part of moving to a new state is not the packing, not the unpacking, not even the so-longs to dear friends. It’s getting a new ID. The oatmeal government building will swallow your soul upon entry. The forms you so carefully filled out will be outdated. The proof of address letters you bring won’t qualify. So you’ll hustle to FedEx a few blocks away to print different ones. When you return, you’ll find the government has closed for the day, at 3:17p, for no apparent reason. You’ll go back the next day with tired eyes and ruffled hair, and at the end of all this, they’ll have the audacity to take your photo from an unflattering angle that will remind you of the experience for the next five years. Someone bring us a weekend. What to WatchWe watched Prombelmista (Max) this week, Julio Torres’ movie. While you’re at it, watch his stand-up special (if that’s what you’d call it?) on Max, too, called My Favorite Shapes. It’s all wonderfully weird and Tilda-Swinton-obsessed.
Digital Hygiene 101: How to Keep Your Personal Data Squeaky Clean Online[Partner] Spam emails. Rando “fundraising” calls. Identity theft. Wonder where all that originates? The internet. Data brokers create shadow profiles on you that include a frightening amount of personal details. These insights are then used by scammers, total strangers, insurance companies, banks, businesses, and even the government. But with Incogni, you can easily protect yourself. They remove your personal details (think: SSN, full name, addresses, DOB, contact info), shield you from robocalls, and scrape your info from sites where anyone can find your contact details. And this weekend, you can save 55% on their annual plans with code ELEVATOR. What to Eat & DrinkThe painters are back at our place after the holiday break, and we’ve been doling out Diet Cokes during lunch breaks. Until we ran out yesterday. All we had left were some Creamy Root Beer Zevias, and our Spanish isn’t good enough to explain this zero-sugar, zero-cal, sweetener-free artificial version of soda. At first, the team thought it was beer. So not only did we let them down with not beers, but they weren’t even real root beers. Ingredients for Palomas are on our weekend shopping list. It’s the least we can do.
What to DoIn Salman Rushdie’s book Knife, he describes life as being “equal parts chance and choice.” Whatever you choose to do this weekend, know there’s an equal force of chance at play. Nothing goes totally according to plan. And if you find yourself in a situation where you’re muttering, “What’re the chances?,” know there’s an equal force of choice at play. Everything happens for a reason.
