sunny enough for sunglasses but cold enough for a leather jacket? buckle up baby, it’s HAIM season again.

I’ve just listened to “right where you left me” for the first time this week and the lyric “Help! I’m still at the restaurant” is very Lemony Snicket to me. It’s like a VFD code and I love it. More please.

all the New Yorkers excited about the 80-degree weather coming up this week seem to have forgotten that the summer heat brings out that yummy trash smell. no thanks!!! i like the freezing cold!!!!!!

I’ve also just realized that this tweet AND my immediately preceding tweet is about Band and I’ll see myself out now.

[Meaghan Leahy @meaghanleahy]

This one goes out to my former Marching Band kids and is @bookpubgal approved: I’m thinking about getting a metronome app for my phone because I noticed that I snap my fingers while I’m tidying and then also moving in time and it makes me faster and more productive.

[Meaghan Leahy @meaghanleahy]

I’ve had a handful of bad, or quirky, habits over the years. My favorite—as a former marching band kid and drummer—is automatically/subconsciously changing my gait to walking in step with the music that’s playing, AND marking time while standing still.

my new daily NYC game: “Is it the fifth wave of COVID, monkeypox, Legionnaire’s, or just my fucking allergies?”

[Meaghan Leahy @meaghanleahy]

It’s taken me quite some time, but I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that my perfect match karaoke song is just the Ja Rule part of I’m Real (Murder Remix). It’s important to be true to yourself.

To be clear, this was Summer 2019. But, technically, this tweet can mean whatever you want it to mean.

[Meaghan Leahy @meaghanleahy]

Remember the Summer of Lizzo? That was fun. Can we do it again?

It's taken nearly 20 years for my identity as "a book person" + my career as a book person to start to feel overwhelming and weird. Grateful to @meaghanleahy for commiserating yesterday.
