Like so many of us, I've watched The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally... too many times to count. Actual comfort movies. What a tragic weekend this has been. 😢

I bought a Christmas tree for the first time (I'm 37) and even though it doesn't have a skirt or a topper, and just 4 ornaments... it makes me happy and that's good enough. 😊

Just finished the audiobook version of Behind the Mirror! Just like during the Big Brother season, a huge thank you to @taranarmstrong.bsky.social for making my extremely long commutes a lot more tolerable. Your book made me laugh, cry, and ponder. Is it time for #BB28 yet? 🥲

only one more hour of work until i get to sit in an hour and a half of traffic to get home and continue reading another moody, atmospheric, medieval folklore novel while i eat ice cream from the carton and not feel an ounce of guilt about it! ("Son of the Shadows" by Juliet Marillier #booksky)

I made Challah today for Friendsgiving! (I do not own a mixer so it was quite literally handmade.) The secret family recipe has been passed down to me. My apartment smells great and I'm mostly happy with how they turned out, look-wise. Fingers crossed my friends enjoy it! 😊 #baking

Happy Thanksgiving from the most magical place on Earth! And the most crowded! To quote Q, "Biiiiig mistake." (I thought I'd drop by this morning for a quick stroll before going to my friend's place, but apparently everyone else had the same idea. 🙃)

Currently seated for an 8am showing of Wicked: For Good 🤗

My signed copy of Taran's book just got delivered but I won't be home from work for another 7 hours. The agony!!! 😭

I didn't make it to the theater for Wicked because I got a flat tire (in the pouring rain!!!). 😭😭😭 When I finally got home I cooked two salmon fillets with the intention of saving one for tomorrow's dinner. But you know what? I ate both and I don't feel bad about it!

Yesterday, Hamnet. Today, Wicked: For Good. Love this for me. 😌

I read #Hamnet 3 yrs ago & it was one of those books that really stuck with me. (Helps that I'm a Shakespeare nerd). My review was one sentence: "It made me ugly cry, but I loved it!" Tonight I'm watching an early screening of the film & I'll definitely be crying... but I hope it's not too ugly. 😭

Today I built my new TV unit & instead of listening to music I decided to dive headfirst into RHSLC (even though I haven't seen a Housewives franchise since OC's first season 🙃). TV unit is done...but my binge is not. Halfway thru S1! I have many thoughts but I'm so late to the party. 😭

Proud to say that I've been successfully boycotting both Target (since January 2025) and Starbucks (since January 2024) and, once upon a time, I was addicted to both.

Searching for vintage clothes on eBay and it's mostly items labeled "Y2K" and "90s". 🫠

Dodgers win the World Series AND we get an extra hour of sleep! What a night!!! 😭🥳💙

LOS ANGELES!!!! 💙💙💙💙 #worldseries

Game 7 is trying to kill me. My nerves are shot. Dodgers, please. 🤞😭😬

Went to IKEA yesterday & it's absurd how much they're charging for very sub-par (& sometimes downright uncomfortable) couches. Buying one online & relying solely on reviews by strangers to determine whether or not it's comfortable is unfortunately necessary to save $$$ Don't let me down, internet! 😬

Today I'm moving from a 500sq ft studio apt I've lived in for 12 years to a 475sq ft studio apt, bc it's all I could find within my budget that included a parking spot. The LA rental market is rough! 😭 The only reason I'm moving is bc they're taking away our current parking spots to build ADUs. 🤬

Started my first Ali Hazelwood book at 10pm last night... finished it at 5am. The gasp I let out when I realized the time was legitimate - I never planned on having a literary hangover today, but here we are. 🥲 #booksky

San Diego Comic Con 2026 badges secured! 5th year in a row! 🥳🤓 #sdcc

Literally crying at work. She was my ultimate role model/idol/inspiration. Devastated. I remember learning about Jane and her work with chimps when I was a child. I finally got to go chimpanzee (and gorilla) trekking this past summer, she was foremost on my mind. Rest well, Jane. ❤️💔

This. Is. Incredible. Almost makes me want to get into legal trouble just so I can hire Ashley as my lawyer. 😭😭😭 #bb27

I hurt my hands clapping 😭 YES ASHLEY #BB27

The author of one of my favorite fan fics turned their fic into a novel and it was finally released today! I can't wait to get home from work to start reading it! I got to see & speak with her at San Diego Comic Con this summer which was very cool. Book is "Alchemised" by SenLinYu (fic is Manacled)

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I was always in choir - elementary/middle/high school & a bit in college. I'm 37 now, so it's been 20 years since I sang in a group! A local theater began a new adult choir focused on musical theater. Last night was our first rehearsal - true joy! 🤗 Also, the harmonies in One Short Day are no joke 🫠

Just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse with her... #bb27

I'm always so grateful for #RHAP, but even moreso today. 🥹 #bb27

The way that people somehow keep jumping ahead of Mickey on my eviction wish list. First r**** and now Kelley. She's so weird in the worst way, esp toward Rachel. I need her off these feeds so bad!!!! 😫 #bb27

Woke up on my birthday to see that Rachel won HOH! Forget the Switch 2 I just unwrapped, THIS is the real gift. 🥹🙌 #bb27

I was out of the country the 1st week of #BB27. When I got back I watched 3 eps & stopped. I usually watch eviction eps after the premiere, but I don't even do that now! I still listen to Taran's updates every day, but tbh I haven't vibed with (most of) the cast since the start. It's a bummer! 😞

Today I embark on another adventure! The long journey to Uganda starts soon! Italy the week after! 20 days off work! Managed to fit everything into one backpack! So many exclamation points! Yay! #solotravel

We're voting for Amaya Papaya & Pepe, right? I can see the potential for Chris, but I've really come around on Pepe. #LoveIslandUSA

Literally giggling and kicking my feet lmao 😅🫠 I don't even care if it's fan service and producer-driven, that was the hottest kiss + chemistry we've seen in Soul Ties. Sign me up Nicolandria shippers! #LoveIslandUSA

As someone in their mid-30s who has purposely lived alone for 14 years, I cannot relate at all to the Iris & Zac convo. #LoveIslandUSA

Vanna is only 21?! #LoveIslandUSA

Amaya Papaya 🥺 They really should have brought someone in that was specifically interested in her, she deserves it after dealing with Ace & Austin. 🤢 #LoveIslandUSA

Ok last thing real quick, cuz I'm heated lmao. Like, y'all saved Huda FOR WHAT??? To see her crash out over Jeremiah during Casa Amor? Be more toxic? Call more people names? Hmm? And now he’s gone and she’s still there. What! The! Fawk! #LoveIslandUSA

This season is making more angry than anything else, tbh. America, wtf! Islanders, wtf! Huda and Austin should be gone! Faaaaawk. #LoveIslandUSA

Okay, I've done my civic duty. 🫡 #LoveIslandUSA

Reason number 1,001 why I could never be on #LoveIslandUSA: I need stimulating conversations. Almost every convo on this show is so dull. 😭 How are Olandria & Taylor JUST now talking about what his typical day is like?! 💀

Nope. This shit really pissed me off. Ace, wtf. Huda is a mess and, at this point, not in an entertaining way. #LoveIslandUSA

Honestly Nic should go on Big Brother, he's already proven he has the social strategy by voting Huda out one second, then having her back on his side the next second. #LoveIslandUSA

Don't tell me we were thiiiiiis close to getting Huda out and instead we're losing Charlie?! I like mess but Huda annoys me so bad. 😭 #LoveIslandUSA

Nic, I never doubted you. #LoveIslandUSA

Amaya is cracking me tf up, the dramatics are crazyyyyyy 😂💀 #LoveIslandUSA

As someone that was very into kpop once upon a time, I am quite familiar with Eric Nam. I think he'll be underestimated and do quite well. Also, imagining Rob C interacting with most of these people is sending me. 🤭 #TheTraitorsUS

LITERALLY JUST SCREAMED! LFG ROB! #TheTraitors

There are so few that I actually like on this season so far. Legitimately only Olandria, Chelley, and maaaaaabye Ciera? It's bleak. 😭 #LoveIslandUSA
