FRRRRRRRRRRRumidydumday! I (finally) watched the Friends Reunion special last night and I LOVED IT. LOOOOOOOOVED IT. l.o.v.e.d.i.t. It was just lovely. I watched it over at my friends’ Seth and Ashlee’s house because they have HBO Max and we don’t. It’s like that friend in the late ’80s who had MTV and your parents didn’t […]

FRRRRRRRRRRRi-uh-de-uh! Who’s your favorite night show host? OR RATHER – who’s your biggest night show host crush? And if you say Jimmy Kimmel we definitely have work to do. I’ll start! CONAN. Yes, Conan O’Brien. My crushness knows no end with Conan. He’s tall, he’s self deprecating, his nasally voice is perfect, he’s stylish (but […]

FRRRRRRROH! DOH! Do you shower in a shower cap? Are shower caps even around still? Are we into shower caps? Because you know how I only wash my hair every other quarter. Well clearly this puts me in the market for a SHOWER.CAP. because my bangs get wet (more like a mix between damp and […]

FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRahduh! Have you ever stripped your laundry? STRIPPED your laundry. That is what I typed just now. Have you ever stripped your laundry? It’s very different from just doing laundry. I had no idea. My friend Sarah stripped her sheets last week in her bathtub and all this grime came out, man. And that’s after […]

FRRRRRRRRRRRRRReedoomeeloopeepooreerooneenoo. My toothbrush sounds like Lin-Manuel Miranda in Hamilton. You’re like, “okay I’m getting coffee for this one.” It does! It does, though.

FRRRRRRRRRRoodyoodyoody! I’ve come to know something about myself lately. And I can’t decide if it’s attitude or age or the general handout of life drama. You tell me.

FRRRRRRRRRRRR! ay! id! Have you ever woken from a nightmare about not wearing your mask? I’m not going to say “the struggle is real” because a) I loathe that phrase, and b) I know you feel the same. But MAN, it is a legit thing. I don’t have them often, but once in a while […]
