  • monster: the ed gein story

    LINK: monster: the ed gein story As many of you know, I’m a huge fan of true crime docs. I was genuinely curious about Netflix’s new series on Ed Gein—mostly cause he’s such a prolific figure in criminal history and Netflix did a solid with Dahmer and The Menendez Brothers. But if we’re gonna keep…

  • you: I-V

    LINK: you: I-V I finally wrapped up watching You, all five seasons on Netflix. Season 1 was hands down my favorite. It was fresh, suspenseful, and strangely hypnotic. I’ll admit, I was completely mesmerized by Joe’s voice. The way he narrated everything, that calm, calculating tone… hello, you. It got me. And he was always…

  • be yourself… or not

    LINK: be yourself… or not Do you think it’s possible to be completely yourself around another person? I’d like to think so… but if I’m being honest, I’m not sure I’d ever allow myself. to be 100% around anyone. There’s always that small insecure part of me that holds back—afraid of being judged or misunderstood….

  • hey gorgeous

    LINK: hey gorgeous (best view through the link) Every so often, I change my GPS voice. When I had WAZE, I had different voices: boy band, T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, British female, Australian male, and more. But if I had this voice giving me directions… I think I’d get lost on purpose. *grin* Wow…

  • put on your listening ears

    LINK: put on your listening ears Are you a good listener? Prompt snagged from: NY Times I’d like to think that I am. I don’t talk as much as others. I’d rather listen. I enjoy being the quiet one, just observing, absorbing… but writing, that’s a different story. I could write for hours about nothing…

  • travel diversion

    LINK: travel diversion With the government shutdown looming, flying feels like a bad idea—specially with the uncertainty around having any air traffic controllers manning the towers. The whole situation sounds like a cluster fuck and aside from not trusting that the flights will take off on time, I’m also afraid of planes colliding. So I’ve…

  • friends: over the weekend

    LINK: friendships: over the weekend And I thought I had an eventful weekend… BRENDA: I met up with Brenda after work—she wanted to share what had happened over the weekend. When we finally sat down, she told me she had her IUD removed and since her primary care provider retired, her GYN decided to run…

  • about this week…

    LINK: about this week… What excites you about this week? There is a lot that happened over the week. I worked both jobs at full capacity, giving it 110%. Mentally, I was exhausted and I could no longer make any executive decisions anymore outside of the workplace, making me more amenable than most of my…

  • rosie pop-up

    LINK: rosie pop-up There was a ROSÉ (member from BLACKPINK) pop up in LA so you know I had to go. She’s my bias wrecker, Lisa is my bias. Starting from the beginning. This was obv one of my fav songs from her solo album, rosie. I still can’t believe that I got to see…

  • wakanda foreverz

    LINK: wakanda foreverz A couple of years ago, my cousin—my dad’s brother’s daughter—called me out of the blue. She knows I hate talking on the phone, so I picked up immediately, assuming it must be serious. Her voice was frantic. “Rojie, I need help.” She and others were at Coachella, and her cousin from her…
