Uh... Except that’s his Twitter quality time. So not even then.

How much of this is a Millennial thing versus a young woman thing, though? Because I’m very solidly GenX, and I did this same exact thing from my early 20s until my mid-thirties for many of the same reasons in this article.

I try to make every weekend a staycation weekend, but three-day weekends in particular are glorious lock-in hermit weekends pretty much every single time. I’m making a grocery run after work tonight so I don’t have to do it tomorrow after work, and then I’m probably not setting foot outside until Tuesday morning.…

On the up side, this made me go hunt down Ponta de Lanca Africano. (Seriously, go listen to it. This year may be a Return to Tropicalia summer for me.)

I always get his name confused with Ed Chigliak, from Northern Exposure. If I’m only half-listening to something when his name comes up, I perk up because early ‘90s tv! And then I kind of slump over because present-day reality.

Because bribery. Now people going to DC to schmooze him want to stay there so they can stroke his ego (ugh) and tell him they stayed in his hotel. Rates are being jacked up because the more those people pay, the more of an impression they can make on him because now they will be saying they paid this inflated price…

Acrylics can really mess up your nails, and it seems like she’s had them forever, so she might just be waiting until she has time out of the spotlight so her nails can grow back. And she really showcased them holding receipts in that video, so they’re a reminder of that, despite any claims she tried to make about…

“Red hat” is the new “brown shirt.” It no longer means open source computing even for my hardcore Linux nerd friends.

I FINALLY ordered a Glam Tech magneitic palette! It’s basically a customizable (you can pick a base color, lid design, and lid design color) indie version of a Z Palette. One of my aunts sent me a bunch of her unwanted ipsy goodies, and one of those items was a tiny Urban Decay eyeshadow in Lounge, so I decided it was…

Cougie was a little baby cougar. Cub? Kitten? I don’t know what baby cougars are called. He was filled with walnut shells. My grandmother gave him to me when I was six years old because we were moving away from the town where my parents had grown up to a town a couple of hundred miles away, and I guess she wanted to…

It feels like that first time at college when your fuckup asshole dorm roommate assigned by the school — the one who eats all of your food, plays video games on earsplitting until 7am, and bangs random people they just picked up who end up stealing all of your shit — goes home for the weekend. Yay, they’re gone!…

On the off chance you’re serious, GOAT means “Greatest of All Time.” As a side note, that abbreviation is most frequently associated with Muhammad Ali, who won what was quite possibly *the* most famous fight in history, the Rumble in the Jungle (you know it’s a big deal when people can remember the name of the fight…

It hasn’t even been four months. That’s the part that really blows my mind.

I had the opposite experience since Chris passed in the middle of the night: I got the alert for Ailes right as I was looking at my phone to check the bus stop times, so I went to some news site to see if there were any fun details to make my day even brighter, and I immediately saw some article about how artists are…

Damn, this one hurts. Soundgarden was to my college era what Prince was to high school.

Another fun aspect of seeing movies in theatres you miss out on by seeing movies at home: Hearing the movie in the auditorium next door drown out the subtle sound of the movie you’re actually watching! I’ll never forget seeing a screening of Broken Flowers with Jim Jarmusch — as in he was there for a Q&A — right next…

I’m wearing my tinfoil hat today, so I’m going with... Jake Gyllenhall! He starred in Brokeback Mountain, which was directed by Ang Lee, who directed Billy Lynn’s Halftime Walk, which starred Joe Alwyn.

Gah, I’ve been moving this book between my bookshelf, to-read-next stack, and messenger bag for probably twenty years, and I have somehow never quite gotten around to actually reading it. Clearly, I need to fix this ASAP.

In semi-related news... Remember that ex-cop who shot and killed a guy because the guy was texting during *previews* a few years ago? I happened to be listening to a podcast about it yesterday and started wondering what the verdict had been since it went down three years ago, so I looked it up. The trial is STILL…

Dude, a salad spinner would make a better president at this point.
