Off to find out the etymology of “gimp”

So like. What are we doing for a third meal? So far I can get it together enough to eat two. But figuring out a secret third thing has proven trés impossiblé. I keep extending meal 2 into more supping but it’s not cutting it. I feel like there is a limit on tacos and eggs and tinned fish.

Someone please remind me the name of the bohemian drug fueled psychedelic movie with maybe The Rolling Stones that ends with someone getting shot

Apparently John Gregory Dunne likes “tabula rasa” as much as his wife.

Everyone is posting their adhd notes app notes and I am shocked that mine barely have anything incomprehensible. Like sure, tons of random numbers. But who doesn’t? I did find a few tho.

Sometimes a pedicure is an emergency

I need to be eating mac n cheese while being massaged while in hot water STAT

The only cure for what I endured is to lay here covered with money

Just saw my neighbor walking with an ostentatious sun umbrella and I know I have influenced such behavior. 💅🏻

Next, looking forward to reading John Gregory Dunne’s crashout sojourn in Vegas. It better be lurid.

Didion’s word: inchoate

Still not enjoying Joan Didion

I’ve been loud sighing like a jobless golden retriever all day

Reading book synopses is always like, they were dead and sad.

But like, what are we eating? This is an impossible task.

What if I never had to read another email ever again
