What an honor to have the RISK podcast add me to their "best of" compilation! Never thought my dumb antics would be this, um, on display. But here we are again, feeling pretty naked...

My Valentine's date is w a bunch of angry stranded teens and a couple of traumatized Jersey gals. We are out of the muddy woods and all cleaned up for Yellowjackets S3 premiere!

I always showed this film to my students to answer their question about how you live with the horrors your country has committed and which you supported (by being a soldier).

It astonishes me how they justify it.

Obviously I'm biased. But, even if my fav people weren't behind this show, and even if I hadn't gotten to be a part of it, I'd still say this season of Yellowjackets is one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE THINGS. Right up there with rock tumblers, chai lattes, and civil rights.

I'm out of town so my housemate went to grab my essentials in the evacuation. I panicked and told her to grab my passport, taxes, and my fav '70s jumpsuit. But later she told me that she ALSO saved my vintage oil portrait I picked up at a flea market known as "Tits Magee." And I am SO thankful

A previous tenant left ant traps in the dishwasher. We've been washing our dishes in ant trap water for weeks. So now I'm scouring vet websites bc not a lot of people eat ant traps, but dogs do. And I'm figuring if enough of these idiot dogs survive, I'll make it, too.

I'm behind on a deadline and so instead of writing I almost bought a 10 bedroom fixer-upper 2000 miles away in my hometown. A friend practically staged an intervention.

Here's my calendar of 160+ of the most worthwhile screenwriting fellowships, labs, grants, contests, and other opportunities, updated for 2025.

There are 2 solutions to the housing crisis 1. Stop allowing corps to buy up all the single family homes then renting them back to us. 2. Task people w sourcing kitchen cabinet hinges. Self closing. Soft closing. Overlay. Inset. Partial wraps. Hidden spring... a whole gen won't wanna own a house

The feeling that you have to look cool, but, like, not trying, when selling to a Crossroads Trading Post is paralyzing.

Nothing to do today but buy some shoes and berate myself for my missteps in holiday smalltalk. (Specifically Allbirds. Oh, and specifically telling a group of people who had just finished their Thanksgiving dinner the entire plot, beat by beat, of Palahniuk's "Guts.")

Seems real nice here. Guess I'll hang around with y'all until my mom discovers bluesky and starts posting inspirational quotes.
