Fell asleep reading the new Hunger Games and dreamt I was hired to write a tagline for a Hunger Games/Baskin Robbins collab: May the Odds be Ever in your Flavor 🍦

Yahtz moved in with me one year ago 🎲🎲🎲

Spending a lot of time at the Art Institute lately

Meg Mag #6 🎲 The way I talk to Yahtzee is my most private, cringe, embarrassing self. Sometimes, I deliver delirious stream-of-consciousness monologues. Sometimes I don’t even say words. “Beep beep beep boop,” I say to her. “Hahaha heehee.” meganmaganzine.substack.com/p/year-of-ya...

Some stuff I saw this weekend

Incredible luck at the Edgewater Garage Sale, including the tower fan I had to carry 6 blocks home.

Actually very salty that I missed the rainbows!!!!!!

listening to addison rae while reading elena ferrante--surprisingly complimentary.

Finished my latest long, mid Stephen King book, thank god

Wknd dispatch

Took myself on a solo Albany Park date and finally got to hit SUBO. This was the longanisa breakfast bowl and I do recommend.

It's happening folks! Fill out this witness slip as a proponent to pass transit funding and reform in Illinois. my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/...

On my knees pleading with Yahtzee to wear this little Cubs hat.

coworkers asking about my weekend plans and it's like idk i saw this witch's hat at an antique store the other week and i might go back to buy it.

It’s been eight weeks since I watched my last short-form video. That’s 56 days. 1,344 hours. And still, my fingers crave the vertical scroll. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Weekend report

Finished Return of the King this morning ⚔️ and now I don’t know what to do with myself (Watch the extended editions…?)

just bought my Rilo Kiley Riot Fest ticket! I honestly thought I'd never live to see a Rilo Kiley reunion so my inner 19-year-old is shrieking.

woefully behind on my reading goals but checking out another 1000-page Stephen King book from the library.

running late because i spent too long Pondering.

woke up early and "finished" an essay [[still needs major revisions]] and i'm giddy with the power of accomplishing something before 9 a.m.

Willfully listening to a This American Life segment about bedbugs knowing it will trigger my bedbug PTSD.

Vibe check

Brought deviled eggs to a green-themed Spring potluck 💚💚💚

My elevator is out for maintenance this month and I am trying to Change my Attitude about it.

I opened this Molly’s Pizza in the Pan box and GASPED.

If Lori was still mayor she would have definitely dressed up as the pope today.

springtime in chicago baby! listening to modern lovers and smiling at babies i pass on the sidewalk.

screaming and gnashing my teeth bc I accidentally bought scented garbage bags.

Lookin xtra fluffy today

All week long I looked forward to Saturday morning when I could go to the bakery and sit at the window and read to my heart’s content and let me tell you…………… did not disappoint!!!!!

I am halfway thru Two Towers, which means I'm about halfway thru the books overall, and thoughts of the Ents consume me.

It’s his house.

yes I ammmmmm listening to the Lana Stagecoach performance on Youtube again.

weeping in maries

whole..... milk............. latte.

Boo! New Meg Mag out now, featuring all my old Chicago haunts 👻 substack.com/home/post/p-...

halfway through Two Towers and blowing up @emptyjohnson.bsky.social's phone with questions like "is Treebeard older than Tom Bombadil???"

Only took three photos at EXPO but they do sum up the exact vibe I’m cultivating.

bursting into the conference room to make sure all my coworkers know there's a new Lorde track.

back on Norman Fucking Rockwell in a big way, thinking a lot abt when Lana says "i was one thing, now I'm being another"

spent a good ~10 minutes lint-rolling my black hoodie this morning only to arrive at the office and realize i'm still absolutely covered in cat hair.

Springtime silhouette

woke up clenched in dread at the state of it all....... but then............. new Lana track 🙏

a man is flirting with me by telling me his Chili’s order and it’s working

I'm on week three of physical therapy and I am soooo tired of activating my core!!!!!!

Some things I saw this week 👀

My heart yearns for short form videos……. My fingers crave the vertical scroll……….

Honestly still shocked that I somehow adopted the Cutest Cat in Chicago ™️

I deleted Instagram off my phone to free my mind but what if I just start posting here more
