    For the Record – Catch Me Outside

    June 6, 2026 /No Comments

    I need a Babel fish. IYKYK. But seriously, I could have used one tonight in my ear to translate what I heard as I heard it because I am almost 99% positive that my downstairs neighbor was flirting with me this evening.

    Deep Thoughts: What If I Made It Worse?

    June 3, 2026 /No Comments

    One time when we were living in Virginia, I bought a stranger a bus ticket. I don’t know what possessed me, and to this day I wonder if I actually helped that person? You’re supposed to wonder about the small things other people do for you that you can never pay back. But what if instead we wonder about the things we do for other people that we never hear about again?

    Premonition – The Movie I Forgot to Remember

    June 2, 2026 /No Comments

    Watching movies with my mother is annoying. Watching a movie with her where there is a husband and kids in the plot is even more so. When she was still here, I made the mistake of watching the movie Premonition with her. I, unfortunately, did not remember enough of the plot from the time I had seen before to realize it was a landmine of issues. That is how I found myself in that situation. Oh, also, spoilers ahead if you haven’t watched the movie, so whatever.
