For a film critic I have a shamefully high tolerance for crap TV. Will Meghan get me in the end? Stay tuned!!
There is a man in my co-working space who taps his foot ALL the time and it is slowly driving me utterly, utterly round the bend
In a reading funk - I want to read something clever but also fun and light, domestic fiction probably, am thinking Such a Fun Age, Pineapple Street, that sorta thing.
