I’m not shy about hating the holiday season. Valrhona dark chocolate smells good when it’s melted with milk, and my heart glows when ornaments leave sugar-sized glitter in my palm, but there’s nothing else in it for me. The sun sets around 4:30 p.m. in New York, and I can no longer tell if the rot under my windowsill is lamb over rice or chicken. My family is abnormal (let’s leave it at that). But I’m getting bored of my yearly misery.
I know what I need to do — I’ll spend a week living like Resident Evil protagonist Ethan Winters.
I would be learning how to cope from the best. And the games are obviously festive. Resident Evil 7 is about Thanksgiving because there are plates of gray goop, Resident Evil Village is about Christmas because there’s snow — Ethan navigates the abject horror in both those games unbelievably well. I know that first-person view doesn’t let you see it, but I think he’s smiling with a cigar in his mouth. It’s time to go full method actor to survive the holidays.
In Resident Evil, Ethan squirts liquid onto his bloodied or, sometimes, completely severed hand in order to heal. This seems like an inherently healthy coping mechanism to me, so I went for it.
I don’t own anything that might constitute “healing liquid” — maybe the cloudy fluid gathering at the top of my Greek yogurt tub, but I’m saving that for later. So I opted for accessibility and ran my left hand under the faucet every time I felt upset.
At my roommate Ben’s suggestion, I started using a water bottle for scene accuracy. I poured cold water from my metal S’well knockoff, and my hand started to get really wet. Still, I got bolder, rinsing my hand at every opportunity. Standing around? Rinse. Peeling potatoes? Rinse (but that time it was because I had potatoes on my hand). Salting beef tenderloin? Rinse (but that time it was because I had raw cow on my hand).
I wouldn’t be Ethan Winters if I weren’t blond.
I mean, technically, I’m not blond; my hair is the same waxy black as my iPhone 8 screen. But my ex-boyfriend insisted that his hair wasn’t blond, it was “light brown.” And I asked blond-haired, blue-eyed Ben — he looks like he’d teach you how to pronounce Hallo, ich bin unfruchtbar — what it’s like to be blond, and he said, “My hair is dust-colored.” So if all these blond guys don’t think they’re blond, I must be blond by default.
“I’m blond,” I announced to my roommate Dan.
“Nice,” he said, barely looking up from his laptop. He was thrilled.
By being blond, I’d adopted Ethan’s head, but I still hadn’t gotten into it. It was clear to me, though, that agony was key to being Ethan — he’s always in pain, getting his leg severed, his hand torn in half, or his wife kidnapped.
But I’m grateful for all my limbs, and,

It was a comeback year for the world's wealthiest. The combined net worth of the 500 richest people surged by $1.5 trillion in 2023, fully rebounding from the $1.4 trillion lost the year prior, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Once again, their fortunes were closely correlated to the performance of tech stocks, which rose to fresh records this year despite recession fears, lingering inflation, lofty interest rates, and geopolitical turmoil. Tech billionaires saw their wealth grow by 48% or $658 billion, propelled by intense hype around artificial intelligence. No one did better than Elon Musk, who recaptured the title of world's richest person from French luxury tycoon Bernard Arnault. The Tesla Inc. chief executive officer netted an additional $95.4 billion through Thursday's close, bolstered by the success of Tesla and SpaceX, after losing $138 billion in 2022. His net worth is now more than $50 billion above Arnault's after a global slowdown in demand for luxury goods dented shares of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE.
