I have secretly, non-ironically loved rollerblading since 1995. I let shame shut this passion down. But now that I have to cover my face to go out, I can finally rollerblade through the streets of LA! Like an extra in Encino Man! I no longer have to hide! Except behind a mask!!!!

I’m watching the first season of #MadeForLove on HBO Max. An unhinged dark comedy about the horrors of being “married” to a “genius” tech billionaire. It’s based on Alissa Nutting’s novel and she wrote the show too. So good. You’re welcome for this recommendation.

In quarantine I eat even the previously inedible outer rings of the cinnamon roll. I’m a superfan of their middle core, which I refer to as “God’s outie” for its resemblance to a perfect & gigantic protruding belly button. Don’t worry, I can’t leave my house.
