Watching @TomCruise and @chrismcquarrie exhort the gospel of seeing movies on the big screen at a sneak preview of Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1
(what are you waiting for, get tickets to see the movie how it was intended!)
The magic of tv is a room full of writers. Brains bouncing off one another coming up with twists one brain never could. It's a room full of different lived experiences and different ways of seeing the world that give characters an emotional complexity one auteur could never match
As the Beastie Boys said, you gotta fight for your write...rs!

My daughter's best friend at daycare, Darcy, had his father suddenly taken from him while traveling for work. Over the last eight months, Nate and I had started to strike up a friendship. Beyond my personal sense of loss, I feel so profoundly sad for his wife and 2-year-old son.
In times of insane inflation, helping a family you don't know is a steep request, I know. But if you happen to be comfortable enough to donate, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Me: Gardening is a hobby I really like to unwind through.
Scientists: We just confirmed plants scream when they're cut, injured, or dehydrated.
Me: ...and now I'm incredibly stressed about the emotional well-being of plants. So nice to -- unwind 😫

Thanks. What a great crowd last night! Glad you had as good a time as I did.
Growing up, @smoochy49 and I were the odd kids watching Mad About You thinking that's the marriage we want when we grow up.
We grew up, found each other, now have that marriage, and got to laugh our asses off at @PaulReiser's stand-up show tonight! What a master of comedy.
