Arguing with the gremlins in my head:
G- Let's go see Project Hail Mary again!
Me- No, we're gonna be living in movie theaters all week. We need to write.
G- But it's sunny! Let's go outside!
Me- Which do you want? Movies or sunshine?
Gremlins- Everything!

Movie theater, waiting to get my ticket scanned. The lady working sees me every week. I'm wearing a Beetlejuice shirt. She says, "Come on around Beetlejuice... Sorry darlin, I don't know your real name." She scans me in. I say, "It's Alyson, just don't say it 3 times." ๐
Finished the book. His reaction is perfectly acceptable. youtu.be/Vyq3eN0DUU0?...
The kids went to bed just before the big transformation scene. I'm kinda disappointed. #Svengoolie #AmAmericanWerewolfInLondon
*monsters break in and start shooting everything*
7- Oh! Oh no! Oh my!
Me- Not the vegetables!

Husband- Have I seen Silver Linings Playbook?
Me- It's got Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.
H- Where she adopted the football kid?
Me- She wasn't in The Blind Side!
H- ...Isn't it a football movie?
Letting my kids watch An American Werewolf in London on #Svengoolie tonight. Bring on the nightmares! #bestmomever
So I'm reading Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms and I have 1 chapter left and I suddenly remember that rant about it from Silver Linings Playbook and I've warned my husband I'm about to be a whole problem at Easter when this emotionally devastates me.
7- What's that movie with the rabbit and the other guy?
Me- You're gonna have to be more specific.
7- On Disney.
Me- Zootopia? Bambi? Robin Hood?
7- Where the car talks!
Me- ....Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
7- Yeah!
Me- I love that one! Wanna watch it?
7- No.
My parents worry that I walk around by myself downtown for fun and they got themselves stuck in a goddamn ditch last night.
I'm an adult. With grown up money. I'll buy myself a KPop Demon Hunters Happy Meal if I want to. (Huntrix sauce is way better than purple Demon sauce.)
My kid is now 12 and only an inch and a half shorter than me. Time needs to slow down.
11- Why is she just standing there letting the rope wrap around her feet?
Me- This was written by men in the 50s. They didn't let women do much besides scream and look pretty. #Svengoolie #HouseonHauntedHill
I've got a vintage Star Wars poster, Frogger arcade machine and a scary old lady on a skateboard. ๐ #svengoolie
Oooh, what a treasure on #Svengoolie tonight! House on Haunted Hill with Vincent Price! ๐คฉ
Got back home and sat on my couch for 10 minutes and suddenly I felt all the walking I did in my legs and all the sazeracs still swirling in my veins.
There's nowhere in the world I love to walk around more than The French Quarter in New Orleans. Charming, beautiful and dirty. Full of music, hustlers, strange history, booze and art. I've never felt more at home.
Took my kids to New Orleans, one of the best food cities in the world. They ate nothing but chicken tenders. But they did love the beignets!
Nawlins, I'm back baby! Nah, sorry I can't get f*cked up this time, I got my kids with me.... Ok maybe just a lil bit. ๐
The intense longing to sit alone in a dark theater and cry while watching Train Dreams on a huge screen...
Not a bad #Oscar night. On a happy personal note, this was the first time my oldest kid stayed up through the whole show. I was about his age the first time I stayed up for Best Picture and I haven't missed it since.
So happy for Michael B. Jordan! I knew he'd win an #Oscar back when I first saw Fruitvale Station. Such an honor to watch him make history.
Aw, my kid didn't stay up late enough to see Huntrix. He wore his KPop Demon Hunters shirt all day for this. I guess that's what Youtube is for tomorrow. #Oscars
We yell, "Grogu is at the #Oscars!" and my 7 year old comes running to see his favorite character. So cute!
CODE RED! There's a TIE?! What do we do? This is some actually cool #Oscar history in action!
OK, that was probably the coolest musical performance at the #Oscars. My kid was getting so into it! #ILiedToYou
OMG, Weapons is an #Oscar winning movie! I love this crazy universe!
I'm all for this silly, ridiculous style of #Oscar night. Hope they keep it up.
That opening was the best in a long while! #Oscars
