It’s kind of funny to think about how a lot celebrities just have a bunch of regular ass friends and family, too. A bunch of nobodies.

Half marathon was great but it’s not as much fun by yourself when you are an anxious introvert that had an exhausting week.

Oh but if someone wants to sell their full marathon ticket I will still snatch that up.

It’s probably good I’m only doing the second half of the Music Box of Horrors tomorrow since I’m flying solo. But also, this week has been tough and maybe 24 hours in a theater would cure me.

My social media job is so funny because someone new on the account just asked how I knew an influencer's dog hadn't been neutered and, um, it's actually really easy to tell.

I don’t normally like to comment on people’s looks, but I can’t believe no one else has mentioned how much Elizabeth Holmes looks like an anthropomorphic cartoon mouse in the movie.

Bought a ticket for the half marathon, but still looking for the whole shebang if someone you know needs to sell theirs.

I’ll be posting about this every so often, but Chicago friends, if you know anyone looking to sell their Music Box of Horrors ticket before the 24 hour fest next month, I will happily pay them $$. I missed out on buying mine because we lost power the day they went on sale and I missed the window.

It was not good nor was it that much fun. It was fine. Costumes were great, everyone seems like they had fun making the damn thing, the music’s totally off, and it was completely devoid of humor. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not saying I think it's going to be good, but I am saying I will probably have a lot of stupid fun.

Every winter I am so grateful we moved to Chicago. The cold can be better and harsh but I hate the heat and humidity of St. Louis so goddamn much that I don’t mind it. Even on the hottest day here the air still moves around.

This weekend, it might be Nathan for you, but it's gonna be Street Fighter for me!

I mean, it’s weird that we have been working on designing cars that can crash themselves completely without any human involvement. But what do I know. I don’t even like cars.
