Finally sitting down to try to give A Minecraft Movie a try and all I can think about is how this kid who plays Henry is the spiritual successor to Skyler Gisondo and a little bit of Jay Baruchel.

How do I convince my boyfriend that the female gaze is subjective but deep down we all just want a man who is down to “share” a sweet treat with us randomly whenever the mood hits? (Share means he eats just enough so that there’s enough sugar left to satisfy us)

My boyfriend’s pretty, pretty dog and I have the most awful gas together. I always say that the prettiest girls have the worst tummy issues, but bf is not impressed.

Maybe the most important question I can ask: can a book be cozy Romantasy and also peak spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️ or is that inherently at odds with each other?

Omg these two cute guys I’ve commuted on the metro with before booped noses in front of me! I guess they finally got together and I’m so happy for them (says the creepy people watcher lol)! ☺️

Pulling apart my MacBook to clean out the dust has been…an experience. In a way, it’s pretty funny that my father and I ended up having the same hobby of tinkering with our machines, but I wish we did this stuff together while I was growing up.

Bf has had a few drinks tonight and went to sleep early, I stayed up a little later to try to watch a standup special but needed to end it early bc bedtime…tell me why he, in his sleep, stroked my face like I was something precious? This man is stoic to a fault, I wanna melt into my mattress rn 🫣

Sinners was so good, I can’t get over the palm leaves hiding the rattlesnake bit from the beginning. I genuinely can’t tell if it was better symbolism of the snake tempting Eve to sin or the foreshadowing of fanged vampires hiding behind the appearance of virtue and good faith. Por que no los dos?

So I’m using ChatGPT to see if I can get accurate popular name lists for Arab Christian communities, and apparently once I filtered down to Iraq, my name popped up as one of the top 10 most common names!!!! Literally number 10 but I feel so seen…even though I’m the only Diana I know of, lol.

Pretty sure I’ve got a nasty sinus infection developing rn and I just think it’s crazy that it could have been so much worse up in my head if I didn’t have my tonsillectomy and nose job.

My boyfriend after I told him my secret fantasy has always been to write a full length book: “Well, why don’t you? I think you’re fully capable of writing one, and a good one too”
I didn’t realize how much unabashed support of a wild fantasy of mine would mean to me until I heard it the first time.

I’m also on the second to last episode of The Residence, and by process of elimination (and no spoilers, miraculously) I think I know who the killer is. I’m just grump bc there is some stuff missing that I can’t figure out before the last episode.

Me, watching The Residence: “I too, would have stayed behind in the White House and tried to preserve the stuff like the curator.”
I would have been the background character of the murder mystery and I’m ok with that.

I need Zillow to stop asking me if I’m enjoying the app. Of course I’m not, I can’t afford anything in this economy, using it is just a sad way to dream vicariously about stable housing.
