Back when I lived in New York (a whole 5 months ago), one of my favorite activities was forcing Paul to watch my favorite YouTube videos before going to sleep. This pretty much always included videos that made me laugh, from SNL skits to Reddit gifs. Upon moving to the west coast, I continued to send Paul my collections of Internet discoveries, spamming him as I saw fit across text, Insta message, email, etc. etc. Unsurprisingly, when I sent these videos on a one-off basis (compounded with a 3 hour time difference), it was tough for Paul to watch the clips in the moment and respond in a thoughtful and satisfying way. Which led us to….
THE DAILY DIGEST.
You may be asking yourself, whatever could this digest be? Is this an allusion to Nadia’s ongoing tummy troubles? NOPE! That’s a discussion for another day.Starting in September, I began compiling my Internet favorites and sending Paul the links all in a single Gmail thread, keeping everything in one place. Every few days, Paul would comb through each link, laugh his lil head off, then send me a line by line response of his thoughts. AND OH WHAT A JOY IT WAS. Here’s a taste of an early response.
I’ve kept up the Digest since then (not exactly daily but close enough). I mentioned this new tradition to some excellent people I saw in Denver (shout out to Adrienne and Juj), and they expressed some interest in seeing the digest as well. I’ve also heard that Mykl and Mariana are fans. Thus, I bring you the Nads’ Daily Digest, fit for public consumption. Why now? Why not! Also I get out of work at 5:30 these days and have a lot more free time than I used to.
What to expect:
- Funny videos, usually no longer than 3-4 minutes
- Insta memes
- Humorous gifs
- Intriguing Reddit rabbit holes
- Every so often….maybe something serious?!
Hope you enjoy. Please comment on the posts with your thoughts and reactions to brighten up my yung day.
xoxo
you know you love me
