How’s it going, Darling Ones? I’m doing much better, thanks for not asking and indulging in my sadness tantrum yesterday. I have not cried at all thus far today, though I think there might be some “Mad Men” related tears in my immediate future. The reason for the lack of crying? The lack of thinking. After a series of epiphanies last night, I needed to escape my brain. I’m an over-thinker during the best of times and the last six…
Hey Darling Ones, Instead of being cranky & bored, my brain decided as soon as I opened my eyes this morning that we would be inconsolably sad & lonely. There’s nothing like weeping about feeling like you’re dying on the vine* and nobody is noticing at 7:15 a.m. Wanna know a weird thing? Last night I had a dream that I attended a high school reunion (as if) and everyone I went to high school with were maskless jerks picking…
Ugh, Darling Ones, I’m so fucking bored today I might actually be dead because I don’t think it’s possible to be this bored for this long and continue living. I’m also cranky and a little tired, in case you were wondering. Last night I had one of those schmoopy sex dreams about one of my crushes. It was one of those dreams were you’re super into each other and keep talking about how you’re gonna bone your brains out as…
Hi Darling Ones, It’s been about -14° in Minnesota for roughly seventeen years. Or maybe it’s been a week. All I know is that it has been cold as fuck for the last seven or eight Thursdays* and that has not helped keep the light inside me from dying. Also, tomorrow will mark one entire month since I’ve spent time in the presence of an actual human being that wasn’t loading groceries into Ruby. Monstrous, I know.** So my ice…
Hi Darling Ones, You’ve all probably been wondering, where is Jodi’s hair at these days? It’s been months and months since we had an update on this very vital topic we all care about so deeply. I’m here to tell you, Darling Ones, it ain’t pretty. I’m rocking both a mullet and some picket-fence side spikes, and it is confusing. This is a hairstyle that was popular with both the 80s skater boys I had crushes on in junior high…
Oh Darling Ones, The very excellent singer and songwriter Phoebe Bridgers broke the Dude Rock Establishment’s collective boners last night and I am annoyed by their fucking bellyaching. Dudes, why you gotta ruin everything all the fucking time? For those of you who don’t know not only has Phoebe Bridgers released two very excellent records (Stranger in the Alp and Punisher) and one excellent EP with boygenius (Featuring Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker)*, she’s one of the women who came…
