NYC bingo square unlocked: having a difficult moment, saw my neighbor in line at the grocery store, asked “how are you?” she asks the same, I burst out crying. Checkout person & neighbor are kind but wide eyed — this is NOT our relationship. She scurries off. I’m now crying for 2 reasons. Bingo!

Ya know, just sitting in a Lyft thinking about Charlotte’s Web and crying.

Was in the town of Lexington, NC over the weekend & of course had to find the local bookstore. This big city gal (a little unsure in a small, traditional, southern town) was delighted by Pig City Books off Main St. "We want everyone to feel welcome here!" exclaimed the owner and her titles show it.

The time I went up to a person after a show and gave them a heartfelt THANK YOU for coming. I realized part way thru my THANK YOU that I didn’t know them. Total stranger. They were so nice but so confused. This interaction haunts me.

Dark green background with graphic of what looks like a gold engraving of the market. It reads Goblin Market by Interesting Editions. In large gold letters is a Christina Rossetti quote that reads, “Morning and evening maids heard the goblins cry: come buy our orchard fruits, come buy, come buy.”

Office of the day. Shield yourself from the glare of the mostly blank page.
Black cat with green eyes is snuggled up to a laptop with a mostly blank document on screen.

Found a typo on the BK bridge. As @allisoncmeier.bsky.social pointed out, it was a nice glimpse of humanity on this modern marvel
A finger points at the misspelled word “ACHORAGE” on a metal plaque. Should be “ANCHORAGE”.

A friend was telling me how she sometimes uses her blender in her bedroom with the door closed so she doesn’t bother her sleeping kid. “Oh yeah, I do that too so I don’t scare my cat.” She laughed at my…joke. Ok that’s not true. I don’t go to my bedroom 😂 I go to my bathroom.

This is your push to get that recipe or savor that dish that nourishes your whole being & smoothes the corners when you’re feeling ragged. The food that is memory. Learn how to make it, dissect every bite, memorize the flavors. Never having that taste again is glorious, aching grief.

I miss the days when the Queen Mary episode of Unsolved Mysteries was the scary thing that kept me up at night

Writing a book is fun because it's a puzzle that only you can solve, but also something you can rant and rave about, but also a completely terrifying thing that will totally work out, honest.

Note to those requesting entrance to my home (super, handy folks, building manager): If you ring the bell repeatedly & pound aggressively on the door while shouting “Are you home!?” I won’t be promptly answering the door. I’ll be silent & paralyzed clutching a cat wondering if you can hear me blink

Ya know, I worked in Hollywood so I’ve met a celeb or two, but last week I got to meet Shark Twain of Furman University’s English Dept. so…
Louise talks to a large plush shark with a book on his lap. The shark is Shark Twain.

Kind of preferred it when we were blaming disasters on Mothman instead of DEI hires.

Wearing my tiger outfit while in South Carolina and everyone thinks I’m a big Clemson University fan. They are disappointed when I’m like “Go Meows?”

Office of the day
Flip down tray on a plane. On it sits a paper coffee cup and a small notebook with an ink sketch of a tiger on the cover. The cover reads, “I eat people. I like doing it.” A pen peeks out from under the notebook, you can see writing on the edge of the pages.
