Over the summer, I started a crazy project to chronologically archive and categorize all of the arts and culture I have ever encountered. I made it all the way back to 2003, and it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. It’s an ongoing effort, take a peek at what I’ve been up to lately:

Chrysanthemums, two ways! Today at the #GardnerMuseum, in the courtyard and the concert hall. #bosarts

@soulellis.com Just got the email, congratulations on your book! I can’t wait to get my copy next April!!

Currently… #freddiemylove #lilbroadwaycupcake

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Take all my money

Such a beautiful concert at #GardnerMuseum this afternoon of 17th-century music about Queen Esther, in conjunction with their currently running exhibition. #bosarts

Dispatches from the past 24 hours.

I don’t know what the fuck #EmersonCollege The Loft is, but ma’am, this is Gypsy Bar. I believe it’s character building to have to fight through a crowd of business casual-clad club goers to get to your college library and that its absence is going to produce soft children.

It doesn’t look any bigger than the Mauritania. #yayoikusama #icaboston #bosarts

I need Jessie Ware to sing the next Bond theme. Get a campaign started immediately LGBTs.

Keith was looking over us tonight. What an absolutely wonderful evening @patrickmharris.bsky.social and I had on LES. #lilbroadwaycupcake

They say never meet your idols, but I did and it was amazing.

Death? Dropped.

She’s not comin round the mountain, she IS the mountain.

Don’t know how it took me so long, but I am so grateful to have seen the #CostumeArt exhibition in the new #CondéNastGalleries at the #MetMuseum today.

Can’t stop won’t stop

Cannot stop thinking about this insane omakase at #NoRelation from this past weekend.

What an absolute privilege to see the #handelandhaydnsociety this evening at Symphony Hall. #bosarts

This is why I don’t cultivate friendships with straight people.

It’s so nice to have you back where you belong! #freddiemylove

Mentally, I’m here, at a window table at BEIGE by Alain Ducasse in Ginza, sipping a lovely glass of Duval Leroy.

Such a welcome, Boston! Happy to be home, sad vacation has ended.

Beginning the journey home. Thanks for an amazing two weeks, Japan. (And thanks JAL for having a beautiful lounge for us to relax in.)

🤦‍♂️

BEIGE by Alain Ducasse, on the 10th floor of the Ginza flagship Chanel store, was our grand finale to vacation. And it did not disappoint. #sorrytothisduck #lilbroadwaycupcake

Tokyo Olympics poster, 1964 by Kamekura Yusaku “bold, simple, and powerful.” #PeoplesGDArchive #GDArchive

Headed to our final night in Tokyo and read this on the info site for the restaurant. This is like a 90-minute hot stone massage to me.

Oops maneki-neko!

Oops found a tattoo shop.

Man of La Mancha (1965)

I am drunk with power ordering everything I want off the iPad in front of me without the embarrassment of having to tell a server. I’m never coming home.

Something here is amiss.

This meal was everything.

Richard Serra, Cutting Device: Base Plate Measure, 1969 https://botfrens.com/collections/14377/contents/1136821

Mentally, I’m here, having the most expensive dinner of my entire life [worth it], celebrating my husband’s birthday, on the 52nd floor of the Park Hyatt Tokyo.

Someone just turned 40 on the 52nd floor of the Park Hyatt Tokyo in the New York Grill, and I’m thrilled and honored to have been here to celebrate him. #lilbroadwaycupcake

Mentally, I’m here, at the teamLab: Borderless exhibition in Minato City, posing among the artworks and dreaming about the sake I will later imbibe.

Why is my girl Shailene serving Aphex Twin Windowlicker?

Mentally, I am here, at S&G Club in Shibuya, sipping a KI NO BI Kyoto dry gin martini, and eavesdropping on the gays at the adjacent table with the terrible Botox and fillers.

Well, we could see

Lesley Manville in OEDIPUS

We just checked in, and my Tokyo hotel is deliciously Eurotrashy and I am soaking up every goddamn second of it. It’s a Hotel Costes album come to life.

And in this fully realized 1912 Cape Cod town is a recreation (in Mickey) of the Gloucester Fisherman’s Memorial. I was officially gooped.

Came all the way to Tokyo DisneySea just to be back home in Massachusetts.
