I feel like I've read Anora so many times in every Russian dark mafia romance/erotica book. I didn't hear NY accents in my head, so that's funny.

I hadn't counted on the cuteness of my mother needing to fill the lack of dialogue in Flow with a running narrative of her own.

So windy today, I had to take my earrings off, so they wouldn't blow away. But I literally had a long sleeve and T-shirt on while walking from 10th St up to 92nd.
Tomorrow is going to be TWENTY-THREE degrees lower.
Good grief, Charlie Brown.

You know you're a New Yorker when you don't stop for yet another movie premier at the AMC Lincoln Center, and all you want is for people to get out of your damn way so you can keep walking down the sidewalk.

Incredible exhibition. Well worth a visit some time before it moves on in October.
Read the book, saw the movie when I was a kid, was just a high schooler when I visited the Annex IRL. Thought I knew the story, but still learned so much tonight.

Watching this with Mom, who for some reason wants to watch, even if she only knows every third person. Quite the trip.

Dislike bringing Mom to Caesars Danville, but since the casino/hotel opened it's gotten better.
Plus, they now have an Art-o-Matic, which I LOVE SO MUCH. I love these things. Bought an art block & clay earrings.
Watching a nice older couple buy a couple of things. Cute. And for a book nonprofit!

I feel like I ask this every so often on social media. But is there anyone out there who might be considering opening up a George Clooney Museum?
I ask only because I have a bin of all the old magazines of his articles. And I can't bring myself to get rid of them. But it's Declutter Your January.

In today's Decluttering Your January anecdotes. It would appear that I have only collectors boxes of seasons 2, 3 and 4 of Mad Men.
There were 7 seasons.
Why. Does someone have my copies of the other seasons? Did I never buy them. Why.

Like, you create these AI images and then it becomes real and the consequences therein when people either
1) like their AI life better or
2) realize IRL is better and
3) realize we're all the matrix or
4) WE ARE ONE.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.
