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 […]
Most mornings, I wake up with my dreams fully intact, vivid and in technicolor, like I’m the director of my own nightly soap opera. I’m usually a lucid dreamer, aware of my dreamland shenanigans, able to remember all the random details like the rogue penguin that showed up […]
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 […]
There’s a daily ritual in my house that I approach with both love and bleary eyes: feeding my trio of dogs. Now, I’m no Michelin-starred chef, but to my furry companions, I may as well be. Each one of them has their own specific culinary preferences, and I, […]

We’ve all had that moment, right? The sweet taste of victory, no matter how big or small. Maybe it was landing the big promotion, winning a tennis match, or—like me—scoring a petty little triumph that no one else will ever care about. But here I am, two days […]
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 […]
Ah, time. That pesky little construct we think we have nailed down. We carry around our watches, mark our calendars, and keep ourselves beholden to schedules, all the while believing time is this rigid, immovable force. But it’s not, is it? It’s like trying to hold sand in […]
“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 […]
