I’m not a movie buff or cinephile by any means and I don’t have letterboxd, but I want to start watching more “classic” movies (including great post-2000 movies that aren’t necessarily classics yet). I frequently rewatch tv shows, so I do have the time to branch out.

Recently I experienced a minor depressive slump that made me shun social media and do other boring things like reconsider my eating habits (again) and take up irregular swimming (again). I also signed up or agreed to a whole bunch of things just to make the forthcoming days look different. Iykyk.

My best friend just celebrated ten years together with her now-husband, Taylor Swift got engaged, and I just completed my first ever cryptic crossword. So we’re all winning in our own ways.

I saw an absolute legend the other night. Laughed until I cried… and then I just cried. Adam Kay is unbelievably talented, and so generous to hang back for signings and photos. Do yourself a favour and go to a show if you can.
Not pictured: me doing the polite hand-hover behind his back.

We don’t have “I voted” stickers here, we just have these: democracy sausage sizzles. Most voting locations are community centres or schools, so they run a bbq to fundraise with the elevated foot traffic.
My local levelled up with a hotdog bun this year!

I was up at 3am yesterday, then up at 5am today. I guess I’m slowly adjusting to my home timezone. I have gone to sleep without eating dinner both nights, though.

Today has been full of ups and downs. I slept past breakfast, wandered leisurely around NOLA for our last day there, rushed back to the hotel, flew business class for the first time ever, arrived in NYC dazed and excited, then found out my great aunt has been admitted to the ICU and intubated.

I had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe in New Orleans last night and they played One Way or Another and One Thing (including music videos) and I got emotional in the middle of dinner

I’ve been carded three times in the last two days. I’m telling myself it’s not that bad because the legal age here is 21 instead of 18, however, today the flight attendant told me I look 15.
I’m 26. 💀

It’s been a nerve-racking, exciting, hilarious, delightful, emotional weekend. Thank you to everyone who has been welcoming to me and my closely held bundle of nerves. It boggles the mind that I’ve travelled across the world and been met with so much kindness here. 🐝 ❤️ #221bCon

I just made tea with the drip coffee machine in my hotel room, then realised there was no milk and added a few capsules of a “non-dairy creamer”. The resulting concoction manages to both taste like black tea and have a cream aftertaste.

This will be my fourth day in the US and I’m gonna be honest, I am not sleeping well for no discernible reason 🤷🏼

I’m dog-sitting for my sister at her place and I had to call my mum this morning to ask how to open the two childproofed drawers, so there’s that.

Not to make this all about me because I can only imagine how the average American is feeling right now - but the US tariffs causing the Australian dollar to plummet two days before I get on a plane to America was not something I’d planned for

Another day in editorial where I get a weird email congratulating me for being weirdly overinvested.
(We were discussing the fiction-related question: can someone whose wrists are zip-tied together wiggle their hands behind their back and then from behind their back to in front of them?)

I’ve had my kitten for four months and love him dearly. He is six months old (got him at nine weeks) and teething. Tonight my mum said “if he doesn’t stop attacking me after he’s teething then he’s going” and honestly I’d have to move out and take him with me. There’s no other option.

Apple finally allowing schedule send for imessage has hugely impacted the way I text my friends. Just sent 1am texts to my best friend, but scheduled for 8am because she is a junior doctor and the thought of either a) waking her up or b) not telling her the things is intolerable.

Love to see the Streisand effect strike again with Careless People, a book I probably never would have heard about were it not for Meta’s attempts to squash its promotion

The Australian government texting me like “hey you’re 26 now, you need to get a cervical screening, we know you’ve been putting it off for a year” as if I don’t go through life pretending I don’t have a uterus.
If they made it free I would go. Since it is not free, I’ll give it a few years.

Today a colleague was talking about how an author spent two years going to literary festivals and meeting people before they even published their book, so that they had contacts by the time they did. I said, “It’s like an unpaid internship but for authors.” Everyone laughed and I was very pleased.
