To catch up:
Allegedly it was just drizzling in New Jersey on Sunday night so my flight was grounded and then cancelled at 10pm and because my parents are WAY less efficient than Betsy and Steve Haber, my dad did NOT get me a hotel room before they were all swiped from under me so I was FORCED to sleep at THE AIRPORT. I am not cut out for this. I slept on a wooden slatted bench, clutching my things so tightly that it still hurts to unfurl my arm completely. I woke up at 7am to go to my hotel and then I slept in a king bed (deserved) for two hours and ordered chicken tenders (deserved) and then watched cable TV for the first time in years (deserved). I blazed through Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home (Freeform marathon, it seems) whilst eating a burger and fries via room service (deserved) and a cookie with ice cream for dessert (deserved). I then fell asleep to The Town, famously starring Blake Lively and Ben Affleck (which you all know about now) and then woke up and flew home to Michigan. It’s been a whirlwind but now I am tragically back in East Lansing.
But that’s enough about me.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez
I am a REAL JOURNALIST. I said it two months ago.
Sorry Ben that I talked about how you maybe cheated on Jennifer Garner with Blake Lively and now your second wife has filed for divorce. The date of separation is listed as April 26. I think these two will reunite again in 20 years. They have about two cycles left in them.
JLo has been seen around with Ben’s kids Violet and Samuel so I think they all have a great relationship, which is nice. Also Violet is going to Yale, apparently. Unsure why I know that but here we are.
Chappell Roan
She’s very cute but I just don’t think she’s really cut out to be a celebrity. But she also raises a great discussion about what it really means to be one. As someone who will never be a public figure, it’s definitely easier for me to say this, but I just think if your career depends on fame and fans, you kinda need to give a little. I just think equating fans asking for a photo to abuse, harassment, and stalking is a little insane. But also setting boundaries is nice. So idk! There are good arguments for both sides. I hope she has good friends and a good therapist because she’s had an insane summer.
Doja Cat & Joseph Quinn, Gracie Abrams & Paul Mescal
Happy for them, I guess. In case you don’t remember, Doja dmed Noah Schnapp about Joe Quinn when Stranger Things season 4 came out like two million years ago and Noah posted the screenshot online and then Doja got mad at him. They both suck so I don’t really care but it’s funny that Doja and Joe are seemingly dating now.
As for Paul and Gracie, girl whatever. They’re both cute celebrities in their 20s. Find me something more cliche.
I will say Gladiator 2 comes out in November.
Beyonce
She just launched a whisky brand. Girl, whatever.
Joker 2
That is literally what a musical is, Todd.
Jack Schlossberg
It’s very odd seeing him be normal. I should’ve asked him to be my date to the wedding last weekend. Also the DNC is crazy this year.
Florida!!!
Nobody understands her like I do. Bookmarking this for posterity.
Bridgerton
An East Asian lead!!! With Benedict!!! But I saw this tweet and it got me thinking.
CKolin is Kourtney bc she’s the only one with a white man (Travis Barker), which makes Penelope aka Lady Whistledown Scott Disick. That actually makes sense.
Daphne would have to be Kylie because she was the younger sibling that had children first, so Simon would be Travis Scott? Kind of accurate bc since Rege left the show and didn’t appear in season 2, he kinda seems like a deadbeat dad, much like Travis Scott. Stay with me here. Anthony is Kim bc he runs the household and doesn’t put up with anyone’s shit. (The partner comparisons end here, because Kate is an angel.) And Benedict is Kendall bc he’s an ~artiste~ and Kendall is an ~athlete~.
Anyways.
Aaaand back to me.
Now that school is starting I need something bingeable that I’ve watched before so I think it’s time for my annual Desperate Housewives rewatch. Will keep you posted when I begin.
My plan was to finish all of Throne of Glass this summer but I was shockingly busy but I haven’t given up on it. But I do have a lot of books on my TBR.
Please send me music recs, whomever is reading this.
That’s about it. Classes start on Thursday, technically. Here’s my schedule for your own personal records:

Wednesday: work till 4 and class till 6:25
Thursday: same as Tuesday
Friday: work every other week
Alright then. Bye.
