I woke up and chose ennui
a pre-teen asked me who my favourite actress was today and ok i just switched it around to ask her about her favourite actress (a tie: Cynthis Erivo and Millie Bobby Brown) but my first thought was “is Claire Danes too on the nose? No wait. Would an 11yr old know who Claire Danes is?”

at what point does it get weird that they call me “young lady” at the diner? I’m 46

watched A House of Dynamite yesterday and I intensely loved it for, I’m gonna say, the first hour? Then it was more like, sure this film is ok. Still loving the sound design and the visuals and ❤️Jared Harris❤️ etc. But NOW, though, now that I’ve had time to sleep on it, friends, I’m… annoyed?

the most urban North America thing about me is that I cannot recognize any bird calls (other than pigeon, which is technically a bird) but I DO recognize a squirrel

I lost my patience with someone at work on Tuesday - someone above me - and in an unexpected turn of events, the three people to whom I’ve described the scene have all told me not to apologize

we bought a (smaller) place nearby

a kid I’ve taught for a few years said some unusually creative, thoughtful, and interesting stuff the other day. I don’t even remember what it was, I just remember thinking «oh right, this must be what famous creative geniuses are like at age 10»

a pre-teen student awkwardly gave a heart-shaped card to one of my employees, as a declaration of a crush

when the employee told me, he looked.. I’m going to say “violently uncomfortable”

enjoyed Presence (2024). Very “come for the Edith Wharton ghost story-like approach to exposition, stay for the feelings.” Halfway through my brain went “this was made by the same person who made Ocean’s Eleven” and i could not process that. But in a good way

I’ve been rewatching The Good Wife

it’s different from how I remembered it; for one thing, the recurring judges and lawyers are much, much funnier than I remembered

benefit concert today

we put on a better show than last year and also we raised over twice the money

quote from a 9yr old in attendance: “next time you have a thing that is just so fun and not a boring concert LET ME KNOW”

not long ago I was ~complaining (sort of) about being good at my job and about how that turns office politics into a weird labyrinth of competing psychodramas

trigger warning for #death, #cancer, #mourning

I’m trying to figure out how to talk about it

she was 40 years old and had a form of cancer called angiosarcoma
