today I was like wow August is half over then I saw it's the 9th multiple people texted me about that dead body in Griffith Park and then I remembered today's the anniversary of the LaBianca murders, and now I'm just staying indoors why tempt fate

I was honestly shocked the first time by how horny Grease is, all those horny thirty four year old teenagers, it's the original Euphoria it's got that great 1970s sheen of sweat on everything

Olivia Newton John was half Jewish? twist

she's the granddaughter of Max Born? holy shit

my take on The New Yorker drama is that whatever Erin Overbey's coworkers think of her is irrelevant, this is the exact same playbook Conde Nast ran on Bon Appetit when they brought up diversity issues I don't care if she's annoying I care that nobody has answered why The New Yorker has no black editors

Oliver Stone's Nixon hive is rising

the funniest shit is listening to songs called like "Romping Time Rag" and thinking about how absolutely blitzkrieged on horse even Glenn Miller's band was

unhinged Burbank stand-up lady is clearly mounting a fan campaign to to be the next Joker love when something spontaneous happens in a movie theater and there's a split second to see if it's going to be a shooting or someone with failed dreams of breaking into entertainment or both

when I was 21 I also lived at home with my parents (yes in the valley) while trying to start my adult life, I worked as a hostess at Art's Deli and had no idea what to do on any front the funniest part is Paul Thomas Anderson making a movie about being aimless in one's twenties

Licorice Pizza is a movie about reply guys one of mine just sent a shirtless dancing video with a song he wrote about having a parasocial relationship with me and you know what I admired the chutzpah

And Just Like That is so insanely bad it’s kind of impressive the “getting back out there” plots make no sense without Samantha, the only character whose goal wasn’t to get married and disappear from the social scene

if you're tired of hearing me talk about the valley, you are going to hate several things I have coming up I got in an argument with some guy about Licorice Pizza last night where he said nobody who wasn't from the valley could possibly care about this movie?

updated to add that John Michael Higgins is so funny on new Saved By The Bell, someone should profile him he's having his Jennifer Coolidge on White Lotus moment

when I first posted this I mentioned Bill & Hiroko's Burgers and suggested Bill & Hiroko had an acrimonious breakup because it became merely Bill's Burgers, have since learned that Bill & Hiroko divorced but are still friends and she helps him on the grill sometimes

ever since @PAPPADEMAS said I live in Larry David’s Los Angeles because I always run into people out in the world it has become only more true if you just treat LA like New York it’s much less alienating I promise

going to make my friends listen to party rock tonight I heard “I Gotta Feeling” on KOLA driving back from the valley and laughed like a maniac

increasingly provable!

also I think it's fine to live in a shed in your parents' yard if you can swing that! it's the fact that they all don't say that and frame it as "quit my 9 to 5, moved to the remote country all by myself!" that's ridiculous

has anyone commented that Jennifer Lawrence is married to Cooke Maroney which makes her "Jen, a Maroney" this is my submission packet for the inevitable 30 Rock reboot

last night I found out that all the big cottagecore youtubers live in tiny houses their rich parents built for them in the backyards of their property, petit trianon vibes one of them says she moved to a farm to do slow living but it's literally just a vacation house her parents own lmao

I am surprised Steve Martin made a New York show because he is like Mr. California to me he grew up in Garden Grove!

tonight on Deckheads we are going to discuss Delaney the Darksided, and her Debutante energy 6 pm on twitch.tv/deckheadspod just when I thought she couldn't get any worse she gave a speech about being a debutante is actually very difficult and hard work

today we celebrate Snake Eyes Labor Day, a holiday me and @LAMBOLAMBO made up a few years ago where we watch Brian De Palma's 1998 Atlantic City thriller this year Snake Eyes Labor Day falls on Rosh Hashanah and the new moon, we look to Snake Eyes for rebirth, the image of snake eyes representing the waning moon

so Biden is using the meaningless phrase “I see you again” here’s a fun lil thing my friend noticed the same language about feeling “seen” and (shudder) “held” (so Midsommar!) appeared in Audrey Gelman’s statement about laying people off from The Wing
