Go watch #RomanticsAnonymous! It is so good. Super cute, charming, and fun to watch! The main characters are endearing, awkward, funny. I keep rewatching scenes even before finishing the episode. Love love love!

as someone who was a teenage girl on the internet, i think making AI-generated revenge porn of a minor should get you the electric chair actually
it's 30 years later and this still happens.

I've got about 20 more minutes left of this comedy special to watch, but it's safe to say it's a hit. I'm so lucky the algorithm gods blessed me with Gina Brillon.

This (apocryphal) story about Virchow that I snuck in as a footnote into my book Rebel Cell remains my proudest pun in print.

The usual delivery guy and I have an understanding—if the package fits between the gate grills, he'll slip it in and send a text. There's a new guy today who called. I hope he learns my SOP for the next package. Saves both him and I time, and we don't have to talk on the phone.😂

I don't know if this counts for or against proving nominative determinism works, but holy crap what a headline!
Wait. The surgeon who cut his own legs off and who has a fetish for people with amputated legs is called NEIL HOPPER??

It's nearly that time of the month and I want to yeet my uterus into outer space. "Nearly" because it's not here yet but it is painfully, inconveniently declaring its imminent arrival.

I wish I had the money to see all the concerts, fan meets, ballet shows, theater productions, and classical concerts that my heart desires.

There is a local staging of Alice in Wonderland the Musical currently showing until December. And I just remembered there will be a ballet production of Alice in Wonderland in December as well. What a lovely coincidence.

It's already 4:30pm but I'm still paying for the two coffees I had this morning. Acid reflux sucks. I really should've known better and stuck to one cuppa.

There's ongoing conquest, famine, war, and many pointless deaths around the world. My country is also suffering from flash floods. So we've got the Four Horsemen and biblical deluge. Things are getting too apocalyptic for my liking.

Happy to report #TheThursdayMurderClub is charming, funny, sharply written, and delightfully British.

Ticket details are out for Jackson Wang's Manila concert. I estimated around 11k php for front-ish seats (pricey but doable). I was WAY OFF. The actual prices are insane. Idk who came up with this but my goodness! Jackson, sir, you are too expensive and I cannot afford to see you up close.

But as I travel’d hither through the land,
I find the people strangely fantasied,
Possess’d with rumors, full of idle dreams,
Not knowing what they fear, but full of fear.

Yesterday I came across the perfect reel that explains how to correctly use nasal sprays--short, shared good technique, explained what happens if you do it wrong, and had graphics. I did not save it. Now I need it and can't find the exact reel. -___-

Tonight I saw #IntoTheWoodsPH with Lea Salonga as The Witch. She is FANTASTIC. I'm so happy I finally got to see her perform live. And in a musical! Lea's Fantine and Eponine were my gateway to live musicals.
