I was okay missing out on the Eras tour since I came into the fandom so late, but I am having serious FOMO missing out on BTS. I really hope they mean it when they say "more to come" on the tour dates page of their website. But I'm so grateful for ARMY who is sharing all their photos and videos.

I'm about to do something very scary and outside my usual box, but it could be for a very good opportunity, and so I'm going to get my nerve up and do it. And if it weren't for BTS' "Swim" telling me to dive in, I might not have even considered it.

So one of the things I noticed most about Spider-Man is how inspired it was by the video games. If you've played the Spider-Man games, you'll notice scenes that look almost exactly like the games.

Has anyone checked on Jimin? The vids from last night's show have me worried! I'm guessing the heat and humdity got to him, and I want to fire their stylist for dressing them up in hot winter gear for hot and humid summer shows.

Spider-Man was SO good. Marvel is at its best when it's character-focused. But I also got to spend time with my besties, which was the BEST part of the evening. Now, I get to wake up with my cup of tea and see all the vids pouring in from BTS' show in Rutherford. It's a good morning.

I am ordering way too many Happy Meals, and I really need BTS to start offering these BT21 bag charms with healthier food, dang it. LOL I'm determined to get a Cooky, though!

I swear I'm going to finish the rewrites and editing on the next book in the Alex Grosjean Adventure series this year. I'm almost done going through it and reading it out loud and stuff before sending it off to my publisher. It's hard juggling an actual 40-hr./week writing gig with writing fiction.

Sometimes, I think I'm a sh** writer, then I read something I wrote like this: "It’s as if we were in a painting about war, and the vibrant, angry red and black colors had faded into sepia, awash in nostalgia and memory."

Wow...I'm feeling emotional today. Facebook reminded me I lost my cat, Karma, three years ago today, so thanks for that, stupid FB. And then I listened to "Normal" again...and had a good cry because "Got me and my feelings up on this wall." Happy Friday, I guess?

Marvel greenlit a second season of 'Wonder Man,,' and has now canceled it, and I'm livid. Disney doesn't want to invest in TV because MOVIES, but it's a stupid move. Why should I subscribe to Disney+ when you have ZERO original shows I want to watch?

So what are we doing the night of The Grammys, ARMY? Are we breaking Netflix watching the concert and doc again? Are we chanting curses in the dark like witches against the Recording Academy to give them all explosive diarrhea? I need a plan.
