SPOOKED

if you like being scared awake (or asleep..idk do you) a groovy-bass-toned Glynn Washington hosts an eerie podcast that features true-life supernatural stories told firsthand by 'people who can barely believe it happened themselves' i believe them. call me gullible (i am). the production of this pod makes me think the demon under my bed is suddenly behind my shoulder...patiently waiting for me to turn around 8/10 would recommend

Otherworld

I am recommending my own damn show Otherworld. I describe it as a Paranormal This American Life. I have been interviewing people about their paranormal experiences for the last 5 years and just released this show October 3rd. I have been working very hard to create a podcast about the paranormal that I would actually listen to, and something that could be enjoyed by anyone from the hardcore skeptics to people that put crystals over their wifi routers.I worked way too hard on this and have lost sanity points that I may never get back, but it’s a great show and I love it so go listen.

I stopped taking mounjaro so that i can get pregnant via ivf

I looked so good but doctor required it and now I’m miserable, gaining weight and feeling like I’ve lost control. The food noise is deafening. But I’m proud of myself for doing what is necessary to bring a child into the world… is this what sacrifice feels like?

I wish i felt as strongly about anything as Janelle Evans felt about ke$ha.

I'm rewatching Teen Mom 2 from the beginning because I miss the days of reality TV when the reality TV stars didn't understand what a social image was or how to act/not act, in front of the camera. There are few scenes as great in reality TV as Janelle Evans's lawyer telling her that she needed to go to jail on August 8th for 14 days. Janelle had concert tickets for a Ke$ha concert on August 9th and explained to her lawyer that she couldn't miss it because Ke$ha was her idol, and she had gotten feathers in her hair for it. She expected the judge to make an exception for her which is wild to me. What's more, Janelle does end up going to jail on August 8th and bails herself out with enough time to make it to her concert. So there was no lesson learned here anyway. I have never found Ke$ha's music particularly moving, and at the time of filming, we didn't know about all of the Dr. Luke stuff that had been going on. I've never felt this strongly about anything except for, perhaps, my disdain for Angel Soft toilet paper. I suppose, if Angel Soft were the only toilet paper offered in jail, I too, would ask the judge to make an exception. I imagine that jail toilet paper is probably 1-ply and the judge would think I should be grateful for Angel Soft vs 1-ply toilet paper but I have a vendetta against Angel Soft so I would prefer to stick with the 1-ply. I digress. Janelle Evans felt more passionately about going to a Ke$ha concert than taking care of her 1-year-old child and getting her life straight and it is TV gold.

the best salad ive ever had is at laguardia airport

I dream about the Sunday Supper Chopped. Located in the Delta terminal at LGA, Sunday Supper is an Italian restaurant with great food for an airport but their chopped salad is my Roman Empire. It’s nothing special to look at, but I’m telling you it is mouth watering. Every time I’m there I get it and the last time I wrote down the ingredients so I can attempt to make it myself. Romaine  Raddichio Red cabbage Red onion Roasted red pepper Chopped pepperoni Chickpeas Celery  shredded provolone Artichoke hearts chopped Pepperocini All chopped, tossed in a light Italian dressing. Add add’l protein if you want but not necessary.
