Grease 2 is such a good movie. Anyone who has ever said otherwise clearly doesn't know good fun when they see it.

The Union Square and Company Signature Classics cover of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Beautiful and Damned." A handsome, dark-haired man in a black tuxedo is staring at his beautiful blonde partner, a woman in a backless red dress who's looking over a balcony at a well-dressed crowd walking alongside a beach circa the 1910s.

Fitzgerald sure knows how to ramp up my melancholy.

Reading is keeping me from being chronically online.

I don't mind the new Samsung Galaxy update.

Just deleted my Duolingo account and un-installed the app from my phone. A.I. is the bane of my existence.

Fishtopher, a brown and black striped tabby cat. He lays in the shelter next to a chrome bowl. His large head is hung low to the floor of the kennel, as he looks up with sad green eyes and very large, round cheeks. His ears are slightly down and his mouth looks small and almost like a frown. He protects his body with his round tail in a very sad, closed off manner.

Fishtopher, a brown and black striped tabby cat, now in his forever home. He stands up and leans against the couch but the lower half of his body is blocked by the camera person's leg. He looks slightly upward with large, sparkling green eyes. His ears are pointed up and forward and his mouth is almost in a wide smile. His pink nose is a much brighter pink now, and his large cheeks are still large, but smaller in comparison.

to be loved is to be changed

I'm reading my book, and protecting my peace. Because from the clips I've seen of today's events, my anger issues would thrive. Anyway, this book feels like a hug, so far. Also, happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The only man worth celebrating today.

Change always makes me anxious. The TikTok ban is making anxious. That app has become a big part of my days, and knowing it will go dark soon is making anxious.
