Just saw Eddington and I think Ari Aster is a genius. This movie was amazing. I know some critics felt it fell apart, but I was completely on board with the social satire. Even with the wild tone shifts, it never lost me. It had something to say, and it said it in a way that was layered, sharp, and actually entertaining.

Joaquin Phoenix deserves another Oscar for this. The way I felt watching this movie reminded me of how I felt when I saw Strange Darling. I had no idea what to expect, and it turned out to be one of the best movie experiences I’ve had in a long time.

Friday night I went to the Grease Sing-A-Long at the Hollywood Bowl. I think this is the movie I've seen the most times. We watched it over and over and over again on VHS when I was little. This was my third time at the sing-a-long and I went to the special showing at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in 2022 when Olivia Newton John passed away.

Frenchy, the T-Birds AND John Travolta were there. It was loads of fun and pretty dorky at the same time.

Y’all. I advocated for myself to get a job title change and a salary increase. It was so much work. I did my own salary study, I wrote emails, I wrote letters, I updated my resume, I followed up, I wrote my own job description... and it’s on the agenda to be voted on by the board tonight. Looks like it’s going through. I saw the agenda and the recommended action is for board approval. If it passes, I’ll officially be the senior educational audiologist.

I just want all the ladies out there to know that it is possible to negotiate even when it feels impossible. Even when people think you’re unlikable for doing it. Even when you’ve been made to feel like asking for more makes you seem ungrateful or unseemly.

For years it bothered me that my job forces me to be seen as a bitch. I’m over it. I’m really fucking good at what I do, and if people don’t like it, I’m on Lexapro so I don’t give a shit. Hahaha. My whole life is one long lesson in turning the other cheek and learning that life is not fair.

But I still ask.
