I love when people are like, “Of course you’re creative. You smoke weed all the time.” And I’m like, “Weed is only *after* I’ve been creative.”

I guess I have to admire people who are incredibly insecure, but secure enough to post a photo of themselves every day or sharing their opinions in a video every day to complete strangers. What a paradox.

Why do people post selfies and selfie-videos every day/several time a day? Is this an example of narcissism?

Do you have friends who enjoy gossiping about other friends? Do you think they gossip about you? They do.

Is there a way to block seeing selfies? They just make me feel so sad.

What’s the average number of times folks have had Covid? 2? 3?

The thing about social media is it allows you to watch people you know slip into derangement in real time.

We just don’t hear about Charlie Kirk’s killer anymore, do we? It’s almost like it didn’t happen.

Lady at intermission of “Kavalier & Clay”: Enjoying it?
Me: Very much.
Her: Read the book?
Me: Nope.
Her: You have to.
Me: I won’t.
Her: You really should.
Me: I really won’t. Thank you.
Her: You don’t know what you’re missing.
Me: I’m watching a whole opera based on the book. I’m good.
Her: 🤷‍♀️

It’s 3 hours (30 min intermission included) so that’s a factor. There are some “action” scenes which they might enjoy. But…it’s very adult material (Nazis, homosexuality, death) so it depends on them? It might be a good introduction to opera since it’s an English.

I openly wept at the end of “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.” It’s a hell of a story, gorgeously sung, beautifully cast, directed, and designed. Can’t say enough good things about it. I had a perfect seat at the rear orchestra for $80. GO! GO! GO!
