They don't tell you that you're also allowed to buy fall-themed eyeshadow palettes when it's the weekend, and no one is around to hang out with you. But you can do that. But only if you have a really hefty coupon, so you get it for dirt cheap. But you can do that.

All I made was penne with the cheapest four cheese marinara and mozzarella I could find ... so why was it so good?

Love these conversations in my Disney Channel & Popular Culture course: Me: The Sherman Brothers knew what they were doing. Student: But the Jonas Brothers did not.

Watching a lot of Hannah Montana for work, & I'm struck by how much of it the children just accepted. They are SO loose with that double-life thing at the start. Her dad will forget his paltry disguise. Lilly will show up to celebrity events AS LILLY. Miley forgets Lilly's alter ego name. Glorious.

To anyone asking about my MA thesis that was loosely about Star Wars ... anybody can read if they find it, obviously, but it's almost 10 years old. I'm a much different scholar than I was back then, and even though I think that excitable student had some good points, she's not who I am anymore.

Why are you all making fake Star Wars academic papers when there are hundreds of literal scholarly books about exactly that? This is just like when I mentioned my MA thesis (which was loosely about Star Wars) and people immediately said, "Yeah, that's obviously fake." I assure you, it's very real!

I had to watch the same episode of Cory in the House twice in a row today, and that is--can't believe I'm saying this--all part of the job.

Remembering the time this summer when I told my grandma she had to wait for the length of this song, and then, if she still wanted to give the pizza guy a piece of her mind, then maybe she could think about it.

Every time I look up "Rebel without a Cause stills," I should actually look up, "Rebel without a Cause stills that don't look like absolute garbage." Greatest movie of all time (hyperbolic), and they make it look like mush. Just mush.

When I woke up this morning, I had a very Y2K image of sunscreen with glitter in it. I searched it up and was confronted with the exact bottle from my mind's eye, and I did own this. I would unironically buy and wear this today.

Not a lot of people will tell you this, but if you have CPTSD, you're sometimes allowed to buy yourself a ColourPop super shock eyeshadow when it flares up. As a treat.

Fun fact: Bella's iconic "purple's cool" bedspread in Twilight was also MY bedspread in 2008. So, seeing that in the theater back then was such a delightful shock!

My first-ever peer-reviewed article was for Watcher Junior, the undergraduate journal of Buffy+. Today, I'm so thrilled to have an article in the grown-up version, Slayage! Everything about this special issue on Stranger Things looks so exciting, and I'm lucky to be part of it.

Rereading my first-ever publication (which is, unsurprisingly, about Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and you know ... it might have been written by a 21-year-old, but it's actually not that bad.

Everyone loves getting locked out of their house for over an hour on a muggy Wednesday afternoon ... though, I gotta say, preferable to when my student and I got stuck in an elevator for 5 minutes on a Wednesday afternoon. Thankfully it was one of my very cool & responsible majors. :)

RIP to the Magical Mystery Tour t-shirt I wore to my eleventh birthday party ... I LOVED that shirt, even more than my A Hard Day's Night t-shirt, which I also wore all the time. I haven't had a Beatles t-shirt in YEARS, actually. Hmm.

To the anonymous student who sent me a thank you certificate at the end of the spring semester ... thank you! Part of me wishes you had signed your name, but anonymity is valid as hell. I just want it on the record that I really and truly appreciate your kindness.

Got a summer soap from Bath & Body Works today that is officially scented blueberry, but it smells way more like a melted Bomb Pop than the ones that claim to be modeled after that. Have I found the secret? Is this all trivial? Yes.

Jun 11th - Kurt Klawitzky and his sister Klara went missing. It is believed they were victims of a crime similar to that committed last fall against the Doering siblings. 📽️📅 M (1931)
2 Screenshots from the movie "M" (1931): First, a young girl holds a ball while looking up at a large wanted poster on a column offering a 10,000 Mark reward and asking "Wer ist der Mörder?" (Who is the murderer?). Second, the shadow of a man in a hat looms over the same poster as the subtitle reads, "What a pretty ball!"

Revisions done. June is such a difficult time for me to write. I remember this time last year, I was writing the first draft of what is now maybe my favorite piece. But I keep writing! I don't know who I would be without it. :)

Blue Profitt @delinquentcinema.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
I WILL be done with revisions in the next couple of hours. I AM thankful for the comments I received. I HATE writing and grading at the same time.

I hope everyone is prepared for there to be soooo much Beatles on our end-of-summer road trip playlist. I just keep adding songs. I can't help that they're relevant. I feel like I'm 12 again, and I love it.

I've seen the "milk money" scene from Stand by Me about 1000 times over the past 5 years, and here's what I'll say. It's all fantastic. But arguably the most heartbreaking line is, "I'm sure she'd had her eye on that skirt for a long time." Even in his own pain, Chris understands someone else's.

Blue Profitt @delinquentcinema.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
Maybe it's the two jobs of it all, maybe it's the weather being terrible, and maybe it's other things. But I've never felt this frustrated by revisions before. I know I'll get them done, and they'll be pretty good. Still ... this is an unfamiliar pressure.

Putting me in charge of making a playlist for a 3.5-hour road trip is like watching Scott Donlan pack for the Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show. He needs six kimonos for two days; I need 12 hours of songs. That's how it goes.

I'm going to start saying, "At least I didn't make you watch Little Lord Fauntleroy" to everyone I ever watch a movie with. Source: My friend made me watch Little Lord Fauntleroy, "the best movie ever" (her words), when I was in college, and I still haven't gotten over it.
