People posting about Spielberg's "Untitled UFO movie" and I keep thinking he's making something about that Chubby Brown film ... Which would be quite the career move.

Hey, do 3,419 of you want to follow me on IG? Apparently, I'll get more opportunities (Or something?) if I crack the magical 10k, and that's the only platform where I haven't.

It's probably a sad thing to note that I seem to need constant background (light-hearted podcasts and TV shows) any time I'm doing mundane tasks, just to stop anxious thoughts/overthinking. Sometimes not sure if I'm blocking unhelpful thoughts patterns or sticking my head in the sand.
