Locus, June 2003. I didn’t know my mother even knew where to buy Locus, but this was in one of her filing cabinets with my old FAFSA info and whatnot.
I’d gotten reader emails, but it still felt like Rich was the first person other than friends and editors who noticed what I’d been up to.

I had email before any of these things existed. I still HAVE one of the email addresses from before any of them existed. What's my imaginary prize?

A little lackluster. #LastFourWatched
FF: Not aggressively bad like other recent Marvel movies, but bland and boring.
Spinal Tap II: ... same. Felt like a first take before you make it funnier.
Uncle Buck: A rewatch inspired by—
I Like Me: Fine! But it felt like there's not a lot to SAY.

I’ve been making lattes and ice cream with corn milk—half and half infused with fresh corn, blended, strained—so why not butterscotch pudding?
Because starch. That’s why. I will think it over before draft 2.

Ha, the original Naked Gun movies (guess what my last five watched were) followed by 28 Years Later—which I might have actually liked more than the original.

Mickey 17—love Pattinson in this. Just goofy fun.
Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum—legit frightening found footage, don't know how it took me 8 years to hear about it.
My Blue Heaven—didn't hold up, weirdly bland and limp despite the cast + Ephron.
Another Simple Favor—fine!
