This past Sunday, I caught the tail end of an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning about movies and the elusive cinematic experience. The interviewee was discussing the shift in how we consume films—people are now averaging two movie theater visits a year, but they’re watching around seven […]
I recently stumbled upon an article, courtesy of a TikTok deep dive (don’t judge), that featured an interview with Friends star Matt LeBlanc. Now, while Joey Tribbiani might have been all about pizza and asking “How you doin’?”, it turns out real-life Matt is all about…doing nothing. And […]
What is the last thing you learned? Here we go again, folks. It’s 6:30 a.m., and I’m watching Bloomberg morning news with my coffee in hand, pretending I care about global markets as I squint at the screen. But, as usual, something strikes me, not the stock exchange […]
Do you believe in fate/destiny? I’ve come to the conclusion that I believe 65% in fate. Not a full 100%, mind you, because I’m far too pragmatic for that. But let’s say a solid 65%—because sometimes we are exactly where we’re supposed to be, no matter how much […]
I have a long-standing love affair with words. Some people collect stamps, others collect coins, and I collect words.

So, the Razzie nominations are out, and I have to confess something a little wild: I’ve actually seen some of these dumpster fire films. Yes, the ones that were so bad they were honored with a Razzie nod. And yet, I haven’t watched a single Oscar-nominated movie this […]
“Spirits” by The Strumbellas caught my ear this morning as I shuffled through my Monday commute, and as I hummed along, I started thinking about the other kind of spirits — the ones in my head. No, not the ghostly kind, but the relentless scripts that run circles […]
You know that feeling when you’re buzzing with energy but have no idea what to do with it? Like you’re a hamster on a wheel, except the wheel is spinning in a dozen directions, and no matter what, you’re not getting anywhere? Yeah, that’s me today. I need […]
You ever hear a phrase so often it starts to sound like gospel, even though you’ve got zero personal experience with whatever the heck they’re talking about? Yeah, me too. “That’s what they say, I wouldn’t know” has become a regular part of my inner (and outer) dialogue […]
