This year has been hard. Really hard.

It’s like 2024 decided to be 5 years at once. Maybe it’s a tax thing.

“Pro-bleeeeeemmmmm?!?!?” she exclaimed, while sticking a microphone taped to a golden mannequin leg into my face.

I stare at her, my eyes wide, slightly panicking while scrambling for a better way to explain what I want to say. I draw a blank. I resign myself to saying “existential dread”.

So there I was, minding my own business, when the Digital Wellbeing app on my phone decides to inform me that I’m spending an average of 15 hours a week on Tiktok.

Sir, I think at the app, how could you say something so controversial, yet so brave?

They say when you make a plan, God laughs at you. Then, God then sends a man to ruin your plan!

Ever since I learned about it on Tiktok, I have always wanted to got to a Taste Film event. Unfortunately, they are based in the UK, so it’s going to require a little extra coordination.

I asked ChatGPT to scan through my entire website and then, based on the writing there, suggest some jokes I would make. Previously I’ve asked it to suggest blog posts and their suggestions felt like light roasts, so I was excited to see what it would come up with.

In order to maintain my Platinum status at Cinemark, we have to watch 25 movies within the year. What I didn’t realize was that the free movies I get as a benefit do not count towards that total. So, here is a recap of the 28 movies I saw in theaters this year with their rating on the Negative 5 to 5 scale (starting with my least favorite).

Yesterday, I was challenged to come up with 33 “musings”. I chose to add to that challenge by writing down thoughts or assertions or jokes that are completely new - meaning I have not consciously created them or communicated them prior to yesterday.

Have you every dreamt that you were paralyzed? That you couldn’t move any part of your body, or talk, or couldn’t breathe? That’s Sleep Paralysis.

I decided to think about things that I do fairly regularly that only work perfectly if no one is paying attention (and that includes me!).

What have I done?

A group of outcast girls at the WASP-filled Victoria Park co-ed Boarding School hatch a series of hare-brained schemes to rise up against their bullying peers.

When the practice gets a new hot pharmaceutical representative, Mindy, Danny and the rest of the team get competitive.

Against their better judgement, Jess convinces the gang to visit the fair.
