I've got to shut up now because I have actually ended up writing a pitch but wow I did not know this was going to be the thing that got me to write my first pitch in three years.

I really wish that this wasn’t the first time I’ve cried at the Discount Tire. I also wish this wasn’t another time I’m crying at the Discount Tire.

i was going to try to go to a dodger game, you know, recapture that feeling of going to a baseball game while visiting a new stadium, and then i saw that the cheapest ticket i could find started at $50 and i said you know, this is why baseball is dying.

Life lately (the good parts).

my instinct when faced with the undertow of feelings will always be to assign myself more work and that’s how I’m going to end up with two weeks to make an organza skirt

I need for people to understand that when I say “I’m going to fully walk into the ocean” I don’t mean it in a “ending things” way, I mean it in a “selkie” way. I want to shed my skin and embrace the icy water and not have to think about things like “sales goals” and “hours overages.”

everything is terrible but I went out and hiked to the top of some ridges today and looked out and saw the city and the sea and felt a connection with the earth and the whole of humanity so I choose to believe we will persevere against the darkness

the rain in LA has meant far fewer fireworks than I expected (having been here the night in 2024 when the Dodgers won the World Series) but it does mean that I know they'll get shot off the first dry night no judgement, just preparing myself

Had the second real “oh man I live here now” moment this morning driving through a park with the mountains on each side. The first one was when I went to a Trader Joe’s across the street from a Trader Joe’s.

today is the day where my entire life (including my podcasting microphone, so many ancient press passes, and three bookshelves of books) gets packed, put on a truck, and I won't see it again until I'm in Los Angeles so I guess this is really happening or something
