Oh, hmm, you indeed seem to have DMs turned off. 🤔 Intentionally? I guess it's a privacy setting?

Podcasting helps me stay social 😆 But, yeah, rates have gone down so much I don't have time for much other than work and reading / watching movies to unwind anymore anyway.

Well, we were all stuck inside our houses anyway 😆 Curfew ruled out evening mingling, and most offices were closed.

Haha, it's a mutual greeting, or it doesn't work. 😆 The awkwardness abroad usually comes from someone stopping at 2 kisses, and me going in for the 3rd bc muscle memory.

Wellll, it depends on the region of France! But Paris is 2.

But, yeah, strangers will be happier with a nod or a handshake anyway, ofc!

When I go to other places I freak people out by, out of habit, trying to kiss them 3x 😆

I'm so sorry! That's so hard and heartbreaking. 😞🫂

Did you ever play the game Spiritfarer? My friend bought it for me after I lost my cat at the start of the pandemic. 🥺

If the week granted my wish of one extra day,
To reach toward the surface of the water overhead,
Would I waste it?

Would I recline on the bottom of the sea
Like it was some arid desert
Holding my breath and
Gasping for air
At the same time?

Or pleasantly drown in languid repose?

For some of us, especially these days, that few bucks is the difference between eating ourselves or not. 😔 And if you're asked a dozen times a day (like when I lived in NYC), where do you draw the line? 😔

Yesterday was another successful day of the right films for me at #LIFF. 😁

Lots of laughs with the heart-strumming #RentalFamily, high-concept rom-com #Eternity (my fave, with our gal Wanda), subversively funny #WhatMarielleKnows, and even #ItEnds had us giggling in the face of existential dread. 😁

Catching up on #Wednesday S2, and yes it has a lot of silly plot holes still – but I think it's a step up from S1. I'm enjoying myself with it!

...And I've realized that I am both Wednesday *and* Enid, depending on the day. My own Jekyll & Hyde situation.
