HACKS WRITERS, WAS THIS A SEX AND THE CITY *AND* MAD MEN PISSING CROSSOVER? Because if it's just a magnificent coincidence I am delighted either way!

Watched The Brutalist at the Barbican tonight (obviously). Incredible film that felt like a novel. Am still processing it. Glad the intermission was there! Made everyone take a breath.

Also wasn't expecting Joe Alwyn in it, or that he was going to be so fucking creepy. Jesus christ.

I've been utterly devastated by David Lynch's death so I wrote about what he meant to me and how his art has got me through dark times, here in my substack mirrorballbycarrie.substack.com/p/living-ins...

Sometimes when I can't sleep I go on right move to see local properties. This is a terraced house in Camberwell. A TERRACED HOUSE IN CAMBERWELL THAT WAS £30k IN 1996! This has given me palpitations. Surely the worst one I've seen.

I asked my siblings if I could watch the Eras tour with my nieces this Christmas and I think my sister (who is the same age as Taylor Swift) might be the only person in the world who doesn't really know who Taylor Swift is 😭
