mutuals on instagram/the Ghislaine maxwell trial

She was in a band with someone who was in film class with me in high school. A couple years later, I saw her on Instagram. She posted about the Trueanon coverage of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial and I dmed her to tell her members of the public could just go (I had attended prior). We exchanged dms back and forth and met for pizza a couple months later. I hinted at romantic interest via genuine enthusiasm about seeing her every following weekend. She hinted at it by suggesting we watch “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls” together. Moral of the story: your opening message must not just stand out, it must be truly bizarre.

Falling in love w/ me bc of this app

What’s That? Oh, we both love steely dan and hate cyclists that wear the little outfits ? (Not bc we hate the fit- we do, we just hate that they give you a dirty look when they roll through a stop sign and it‘s your turn to drive more) it starts with you liking one of my recs (obviously), then, feeling generous, I like one of yours that’s either a micro-complaint or link to a specific, hard-to-find performance of an ethereal 70s jazz singer. We follow each other back and… the rest is history as they say… And by history I mean we dm on Instagram nightly until eventually we meet people that live on our own coasts and our flirtation becomes merely a memory But a beautiful one at that

Meeting a real life wizard.

My friends and I were bored last night so we looked for things to do in our town because there's usually nothing. On Google maps we find a place that was a "boarding school for witches, ghouls, and monsters" so of course we get in the car and pull up. Once there it is obviously a witches house. An old 1800s building with glowing pumpkins out front. Red lanterns illuminating the windows and so many random things in the backyard including a circus tent. This had to be a witches house. So we approach and knock on the door. We are pretty certain it's just someone's house but it's a Tuesday night at 7pm what's the worst that could happen. We wait for a moment until we see a light turn on and a disheveled man in his pajamas, a big orange beard and a trucker hat opens the door and says "hello?" Looking at us quizzically. I say "hello is this ****** - boarding school for witches, ghouls and monsters? We found it on Google maps and are curious." He chuckles a little and says "let me explain. Come inside." We enter a dimly lit living room decorated with antiques and ominous knick knacks. Dozens of candles hung from the ceiling and he takes a seat on a large throne in the corner. We sit on plush antique couches as he begins to tell us about his passion project. It turns out his whole entire home was basically an art installation and a manifesting of his life into a fantasy world story. He has lived in his artwork for atleast the last 14 years since he moved into the home and you can tell he cares about it deeply. He tells us how it's morphed and changed for years as he's lived and grown. He wants to make a TV show or a movie and that's what all of this has been for. He's done many things like haunted houses, mercantiles, fantasy experiences, but as of recently he got married 6 months ago and has 7 step children now. His art project has morphed and become more functional. Where he used to live in his characters bedroom he now lives in his own with his wife who is a costume designer. They work together to bring his story to life. He gave us a tour of every room in his home. Each eclectically decorated with antiques and knickknacks his dedication has attracted him. One was an original glass domed framed photograph of a women's father from the early 1900s gifted to him. And strewn about the home was hundreds of dolls and doll parts. He has acquired these from a random phone call from a man he has never talked to, but he offered him $30,000 worth of antique turn of the century dolls and doll parts. This man just attracts the most amazing things. His laundry room was half decorated as a wizards mercantile expertly hand crafted shelves and signage marked hand crafted wands, brooms, wood jewelry and so much more. He told us the story of how down in southern Utah he discovered a tri split winding tree alone in the middle of the desert. He harvested this ancient tree and turned it into 3 sister brooms all gorgeously crafted. We talked with him for an hour and a half and we learned about his TV show he wants to start shooting this year. And about his dreams for what he wants to do with it. We gave him tips on social media and short form content to share his passion and we learned much about each other. We met a very interesting man yesterday.

Framing Mementos

I went to my friend Matthew’s place years ago and he’d covered his walls in frames filled with small moments like a receipt from a first date, a number on a bar napkin, a hole in his wall – Years later, cities later, it’s my favorite way to fill my walls. I just picked up a crazy shadow box frame for a deck of cards I randomly got at David Blaine’s house one bizarre night last year.

Basic Instinct

I rewatched it for the first time in ages and even still was on the edge of my seat.  It’s a perfect movie. A PERFECT. MOVIE. And even though it didn’t come out in the summer, I think it’s the summer movie.  Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas, murder and MYSTERY. It gets remembered for the leg cross and that’s the least memorable thing about it. Watch it TONIGHT.

Social Repose

Social Repose is an emo singer who posts TikTok videos singing while standing on a park picnic table in the most uncanny valley outfit I’ve ever seen. I can’t tell if he’s the man from my nightmares or if I’m actually just obsessed with him, but either way I can’t stop watching. For what it’s worth, he seems like a really nice guy.
