Listen. I know travel is hard. And eccentricity is fun. But if you’re on a red eye flight. And you have a wild-ass sneeze. I’m asking you to “normal” it up even 30%.

Cuz I can’t do this “WACKweeweewee” thing every few minutes over the next 6.5 hours.

What a normal, not silly name for a town.

Not proud to admit that when I got stung by a bee as an adult, I shouted “OW, YOU NERD!”

Just saw a grocery store employee deep in thought, reading an official looking binder. When I walked behind him, I discovered he was on the “Pumpkin pricing chart” page and for the first time in my life I said “Right on, brother.”

Every Spooky Sunday this Pride Month, I’ll be focusing on queer horror films! We’re kicking off with the terrifying and sexy “Stranger by the Lake” (along with a very tempting strawberry cake recipe).

Hey instead of upending wheelchairs to see if people are scamming you why don’t you try to get the film industry back in this country or better yet fall in a big smooth-walled hole

When I was a very little kid, at church I would spend most of my time drawing monsters. Finally my mom made a rule that during Mass, I could only draw religious figures. So I drew The Wolf Man genuflecting at the crucifixion.

Inspired by Mission Impossible, from now on whenever someone’s mad at me, my go-to defense is gonna be “This is exactly what The Entity wants! To divide us!”

Spooky Sundays > Sunday Scaries The best way to start your week is with a scary movie and a baked good

My husband & I have a weekly tradition called “Spooky Sunday” where we invite friends over for a scary movie & a homemade treat. Our living room isn’t big enough for all of you, so I’m sharing a movie rec and a dessert recipe every Sunday on Substack!

I don’t do drugs because nothing could beat the high of breaking this baby out on my first day of school in 1993.

Trying this positivity ritual where the first thing I do when I wake up is open my gratitude journal and write down how thankful I am that bugs aren’t as big as us.

Thanks so much!

American Monsters: Chapter 3 She's alive. She's ALIVE.

I’m writing a little series about the Universal Monsters embroiled in the Red Scare of the 1950’s. This chapter features The Bride of Frankenstein playing The Palace, a la Judy Garland. If any part of that sounds cool to you then give it a read!

A wonderful read, highly recommend it!
