For some people, the truth is not a fixed point. It’s a moving target. Today it’s over here. Tomorrow it’s somewhere across town. By Thursday, apparently, it was never there at all. And if you happen to live, work, love, or otherwise orbit someone with this particular relationship […]
Which fictional world would be the most fun to vacation in? If you could live in any fictional world, most people immediately say Harry Potter. And I get it. The moving staircases. The secret shops. The butterbeer. The fact that an owl can apparently handle the postal system […]
If you could go back and witness any historical event, which one would you pick? If I could go back and witness any moment in history, I initially thought I should choose something suitably Important. A presidential inauguration. A great military victory. The signing of some document that […]
I miss being obsessed with a TV show. Not “Oh, I watched a few episodes while folding laundry” obsessed. I mean obsessed. Lost. Breaking Bad. The Walking Dead. The kind of obsessed where an episode ended and you immediately needed to discuss it with another human being, preferably […]
The Hayden Panettiere death hurts. I think because she was one of those faces we watched grow up. The cheerleader on Heroes who needed saving and somehow became the one who could save the world. Then Juliette Barnes on Nashville: hot-tempered, complicated, enormously talented, singing her way through […]
I’ve been watching Nashville again. I started because of Hayden’s death and that deserves its own post, but while watching, I discovered something else. Yhe power of asking everyone to leave the room. It happens constantly on this show. Usually someone important or at least someone who has […]
My baby turned 18 today. Eighteen. And apparently, the universe has decided that the appropriate way to celebrate this milestone is to send me emails informing me that I no longer automatically have access to his medical records, his lab results, or his medical chart. Thank you, universe. […]
At this point, I’m beginning to think bears are just living their best lives while the rest of us are unnecessarily following rules. First, we had bears breaking into houses, hot tubs, cars, and bakeries. Now we have a bear breaking into a snack factory, accidentally turning on […]
Every time I see a plane overhead or sit at an airport watching one lift off, I say a little prayer or make a wish for everyone on board. I whisper to the plane “Have a good, safe flight.” I like doing this. Partly because I’d very much […]
Apparently, everything is 100% now. Ask someone, “Did that seem weird to you?”“100%.” “Are you sure?”“100%.” “Did that meeting make you uncomfortable?”“100%.” “Do you think he was being passive-aggressive?”“100%.” Apparently, we have collectively abandoned the nuanced middle ground where things are maybe 62% weird or approximately 78% uncomfortable […]
