My day (year? life?) has been made by meeting a retired woman named Babs who told me that she used to work in “the legitimate theater.”

Hours I’ve Been in the UK: 2

TikTok is magical.

I met Felice Picano a couple of times at the bookstore where I volunteer—I even helped him with an HDMI cable once. He asked me if I had any book recommendations and then called me “cheeky” when I recommended Like People in History. RIP.

Having now read nine (9) Patrick Dennis novels, I feel I can confidently assert that Little Me is his masterpiece. The others—none bad, many great—are not even in the same stratosphere.

I really don't feel like I can go any further in my cooking journey without a sassy, innuendo-stamped apron.

To my TikTok refugees:
1) Hi!
2) I’m in the process of uploading the entire Trying British Foods series (including the UK trip) onto YouTube.
3) I’ll be continuing to build my YouTube channel regardless of what happens with TikTok, so please subscribe if you haven’t already. ❤️

I’m reading a fantastic new book on the production history of Mommie Dearest, which tells the story of this legendary quote and confirms that it is, indeed, real.

On June 16, 2017, Farrah Moan said “You don’t love me” to Valentina, and I’ve never gotten over that.

With the completion of In America, I've now read every book Susan Sontag ever published. In solidarity, I will not be providing an interpretation.
