Summer 2025

It’s been a long and eventful summer. Or should I say “year”? I haven’t updated this site in so long! My kiddo came home from college and is just finishing up some administrative loose ends, wrapping up a biochemistry degree; Nick launched a book, had a few editions of his zine, Suburban Grindhouse Magazine, come out, and has other books in the works(!!!); we’ve been to a few concerts, a couple of book events, hung out with a few friends, and have just been doing every-day stuff. I’ve been at my job for five years as of this month and have just received favorable admissions decisions from one PhD and two MBA programs – deciding whether I want to do anything with that or whether I want to put the time and money into making a film instead. (I finally showed Nick my old graduate project film, Popping Stitches, and he asked me why I never became a film director. It kind of inspired me.) I have a new idea for a novel (because when don’t I?), got a new tattoo last month, and am overall feeling ambitious as we roll into fall. Let’s do it!

Last night, my husband Nick and I saw the new Yorgos Lanthimos film, Kinds of Kindness. I knew nothing about it, going in – hadn’t seen a trailer, hadn’t read any reviews. It was fantastic! His last film, Poor Things (his most commercial and an Oscar-winner), wasn’t one of my favorites, but I am a big fan of The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Kinds of Kindness is bizarre triptych of dark absurdist tales that left us laughing and saying: “Oh, my god, what???” We’re going to watch Dogtooth today. And I hear Lanthimos is working on a project with Ari Aster – can’t wait for that one!
