Still thinking about 20 mins into yoga class when the lady next to me - who by absolutely no means was nailing the poses any better than me - whispered a suggestion on my form. Uh, mind your own practice, toots.

Remember the 10th or so time you found yourself watching an LA friend's LA webseries about how crazy and stupid LA 20-somethings are? That’s about what watching Rachel Sennott’s I Love LA feels like.

I have a great idea for a story that could work as a novel or as a screenplay. Trouble is, novels take a long time to write, and as a screenplay it’s basically “Harry and the Hendersons”

If I could have one superpower, it'd be to be able to control the duration, volume, cadence, and tenor of my farts.

oh GREAT, I've been tinkering with this screenplay for years, but a sitting president posting a clunky A.I. video of himself wearing a king crown flying a fighter jet and shitting huge messy turds all over peacefully protesting citizens of his country COMPLETELY steps on my idea.

At the end of Shakespeare in Love (1998), the play-within-the-play asks "Where is my lord? Where is Romeo?" and Imelda Staunton from the crowd lets out an anguished, spontaneous "DEAD!"

Wow. I was not expecting Marc Maron’s final episode to be a fawning interview with President Trump.

I like the neighbors who, at this point in the annual decorative cycle, throw a few Christmas lights on their house with a shrug.

A fair number of problems seem downstream from the fact that the best way to be a human is to grow, change, and evolve but the best way to be successful online is to never change and always double, triple, and quadruple down every time you are wrong.

Years ago "hot mess" carried a more cheeky connotation (I'm game to put up with that "mess" because they are smokin' hot). But now it's the most abysmal, icky descriptor imaginable, as a result of global warming.
