The original "Dream On" is one of my favorite songs of all time. I do have a good story about "Dude Looks Like a Lady."

I don't rank my favorites because they're all my favorites for different reasons. So they just all exist in a big pile in my mind. But yeah, Madonna's album Like a Prayer is a masterpiece. Nine-year-old me liked it. Forty-six-old me is like "that girl had taste."

I may have said this before but while I don't think I'd make having an ice maker any sort of future requirement, I love having one. Like it's just one less thing to think about.

I still aspire to host the Parker Posey costume party where we all dress like our favorite Parker Posey look (I claim the Hal Hartley Opera No. 1 look). Anyway, I love her.

Story time: I went to college in a pretty small town that, at the time, basically had a Wal-Mart and a 3-screen movie theater (it had some other things but let's just go with it). It was the spring of 1999 when this story takes place.

I am the friend, who when she stays at your place, will turn the motion smoothing off on your TV and will not be sorry about it.

I don't really have a fancy home theater setup (soundbar? What's that?) but my TV is a good size. Still, sometimes I get screeners and for whatever reason, trying to cast them is a choppy experience. So there is something very intimate in watching a movie on my chromebook in tent mode.

If anyone is going to tell you this, the Finn Brothers are the best ones to do it.

I really hope this was filmed and is released at some point. I will pay for it!

I need to go to bed soon. I want to go to sleep with the hope that things might be better when I wake up. At the very least, I don't want them to be worse.

"Changing the clocks back an hour means I can stay up an hour later." Me, really misunderstanding how all of this works.

What is the most comforting movie you've ever seen? Like what movie just feels like a great hug for you?

I do like watching all my favorite horror/horror-adjacent/spooky movies in October but it does make my brain weird. Like just a bit more on edge or something. It's hard to explain.

This is a terrible, tiny photo, but it's me age 10, in a Next Generation uniform costume. My mom made these for all of us (me, her & my brother). She was a big fan of the original Star Trek and definitely passed that legacy down to me.

My two favorite types of horror are "slow burn to 'that escalated quickly'" and "is this all in someone's head or is it supernatural? Or is it kind of both?"

I am reading Jane Schoenbrun's Public Access Afterworlds and I am loving it. If I could just take a day off, I would read this whole thing in a day. I'm already 100 pages in and I actually am forcing myself to slow down. So far, it's treading a lot of the same ground of their movies, but it's fun.

I went thrifting tonight and actually found some great things. Two things are likely actually vintage (and that just means "from the 1990s" now). One I thought was vintage but a quick search indicates it's newer (that's fine -- still cute). Another piece is just from Loft but also cute.

My new passport got here a lot faster than I expected. Not that I'm planning on leaving the country any time soon but it's good to know I can.

I added seven movies to my October vibes list this year -- six of which I'd never seen before -- so yeah, this next week I can just watch my favorites again. Young Frankenstein tonight because I deserve it. (I never not deserve Young Frankenstein.)

What's a small thing that makes you happy? For me, it's that I use the Fiestaware my grandma collected. I have some new pieces, too, but I just love that feeling of connection when I use a plate or bowl.

It always surprises me how quickly it gets dark in the fall. Like summer is an endless twilight and fall is just "nope, now it's night."

We're in that weird part of the year where it's not quite cold enough to turn on the heat but also too warm to turn off the A/C. My apartment stays pretty warm (only got down to 70 overnight) but soon I'll have to make the choice.

It's on Shudder now and it's so good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORjn...

If you are going to be solo during the holiday season for whatever reason, it's OK to make traditions that are just for you. Maybe, ideally, you'd be with people you love, but that doesn't always work out. Celebrate on your own, on your terms.

One of my favorite movies of this year, The House Was Not Hungry Then, is now streaming on Shudder. It's not really a horror movie, to be clear.

I love her. She's such a weirdo but also such a once-in-a-generation talent. She makes so many good choices for her career! She is fearless and uncaring in all the best ways. (I also saw her first in The Falling.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwzq...

Tomorrow will be my 250th movie of the year. What should I watch? I probably won't pick any of them but I still want suggestions.

This was in some weird movie purgatory for years and while still have a DVD of it kicking around somewhere, I have not seen it in a while. But I remember it being remarkable. Utterly strange but also so beautiful and emotionally affecting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC4Z...
