Note to myself I found in my pocket: “I’m on this Earth to do two things: Help people and drink coffee. And currently I’m all outta people.”

I still can’t believe that they called it “Basic Instinct 2” when they could’ve called it “Intermediate Instinct”. The pun was right there. THE PUN WAS RIGHT THERE!

A sequel to “It’s A Wonderful Life” where the Potter descendants and the Bailey descendants have to team up to try and stop a big box store from invading Bedford Falls, a local parasite like Potter preferable to being owned by industrialists half a country away.

Kevin in “Home Alone” felt safer taking his chances defeating burglars with paint cans and Micro Machines than trusting the cops and, I mean, can you blame him?

They feel bitter in the moment but they carry with them the reminder of what yet might-again. Don’t dismiss them out of hand. They aren’t just what you didn’t do, they are reminders of what you still might.

Had a long weird dream that was first about myself trying to flirt, then shifted to a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thing, like if THE MATRIX trilogy had actually been well written, then into a parable about the starcrossed love triangle of Adam, Lilith and Eve, all just missing happiness because of the roles they had to play.
