The same boy I used to be
A friend just passed away. I am driving myself mad combing through the digital breadcrumbs of our last interactions trying to find truth and a through-line amidst all this chaos.

I feel like I’m sleepwalking and keep wishing I’ll wake up from this nightmare.

You know, Sydney Sweeney isn't getting nearly enough media coverage these days. Every single news story needs to be about her. Every social media post. All of them. Until she permeates our life essence and we all become Sweeney.

I really want to dye my hair 80s fantasy movie heroine orange, but my hairdresser discourages it. (Because of the darkness of my natural colour, its propensity to go brassy, it will wind up fading, etc.) Maybe I should just get a cheap wig instead.

Week two of pilates. I am still not in good shape and am still wrong.
I just did pilates for the first time in years. I thought I was in good shape. I was wrong.

It snowed all day and night yesterday. Large icy blocks keep whacking against my windows and scaring the hell out of me. I don't like it :/

Can we please stop casting the same 20 actors in EVERY movie?

I’m not one of those weirdo self-hating desis who thinks it’s a flex when people assume I’m a different ethnicity. But I’ve weirdly been mistaken for everything but Punjabi for the past while. I have to wonder if it’s either the micro-bangs, the honey hair colour, or my tendency to wear hoodies.

Letterboxd is down and I don't know what I'll do with myself :/

I'm revisiting the 1991 TV version of Dark Shadows and it's shockingly good - shot on film with the perfect amount of camp. Ben Cross is delicious as vampire Barnabas Collins - it really is a shame he was typecast as "that guy from Chariots of Fire," and wasn't more famous for roles like these.

I opened my apartment door to find a very cute cat waiting outside. It was scared but gave my hand a snuzzle. I tried to coax it to the elevator to take it to the front desk but it wouldn't move. Thankfully someone in the elevator notified the concierge who then called the owner, & they retrieved it

After years of trashing naked dresses, this hypocrite (meaning me) wants to buy this one :/

My friend David was telling me about IT: Welcome to Derry. I've heard good things but accept the book as canon (except that one revolting scene we've all wiped from our minds). I didn't like the movie taking place in the 80s & not the 50s and don't know what to make of the show continuing the retcon

I'm revisiting the show Younger and am on season seven, aka the pandemic season. Billionaire Quinn has a Birkin, which makes sense. BUT IT'S EMPTY! Which ironically makes her look way more budget than some JCPenney bag. I know the pandemic was rough but surely tissue stuffing doesn't cost that much?

my grad schoolmate's dog just passed. This one hurts. I really bonded with him and felt he was my friend. He was so nice.

I knew he was having health problems as of late but hoped he'd live forever :(

RIP, my friend. You were the sweetest.

B, Weiss tried to get Palestinian professors fired as a student at Columbia & also barred Eli Valley from NYT headquarters. Her "free speech" posturing is a crock - she's a rage-baiting culture warrior who feeds on division, whose "hard-hitting journalism" has the intellectual depth of a houseplant.
Bari Weiss’ inexperience and her eagerness to boost her political opinions over her network’s reporting are all reasons to be concerned about her tenure at CBS News.

But there's also something else to be worried about: artificial intelligence.
Another big reason to worry about Bari Weiss’ tenure at CBS News
Right now, a potential peril is at hand: the end of truth.

Happened again this evening. A win is a win 🤷🏽‍♀️
I used to get butthurt when I’d go to film industry events and be asked if I’m an actress. Now, post-cancer, it’s a flex, heh.

My former students and I are now following each other on Instagram. I reckon my days of posting the minutiae of my colonoscopy prep and such and other oversharing hilarity are now over.

I still don't care about the Jays.
I do not care about the Jays. I do not know or care why they are all over my feed. I have no interest in sports barring the World Cup for reasons I likely shouldn’t articulate. I am utterly bewildered by civic pride manifesting as sports team fandom.

I've said this before but during my extremely long sessions my very nice tattoo artist said that her policy on Nazi tattoos was that she would only put them on your face
And I know many people with regrettable tattoos who managed to avoid getting anything Nazi-related, it's really not hard
I’m a case study of one, but frankly it’s very easy to get drunk in another country without getting a Nazi tattoo

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I watched a vid of a model prepping for the Victoria’s Secret show- she said she ate 150g protein/day to maintain muscle from her workout regimen. As I’ve said, I have a tiny bit of modelling experience (& likely wouldn’t have gone far if I stuck w/ it) & again am grateful I stayed behind the camera

Tis the season to side-eye everyone wearing a fast-fashion version of my Max Mara camel coat.

(Never mind that my coat is from Max Mara’s diffusion line. I’m still going to side-eye.)
