15 hopes I have for Survivor's 50th season

It premieres tonight (though I'll watch it later)!  Cirie wins If not Cirie, a winner who is a woman (sorry, I'm usually gonna root for women) New challenges (not just a recombination of old ones) Unique idol rule twists Bringing families to Fiji for a challenge (they used to bring at least one family member of the remaining contestants to the filming location) Challenges that feature Survivor trivia (again, they used to do this) Rewards that get winners out of the typical filming location and into cool spots in Fiji (once again, they used to do similar things) Happy reunions between both old allies and old foes At least one entirely new mechanic (whether it be a new advantage, a new way to return to the game, a way for fans to have a jury vote for the sole survivor, or something I haven't thought of!) An all women's alliance that isn't talked about as uniquely dangerous because it's all women Challenge records are broken The number 34 pops up somehow as this wi...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 8, episode 11

Not sure what's gonna happen this episode as the last episode ended with a season preview rather than an episode preview.  Oop it's a bad sign that this other lady has blocked Lisa (in terms of how tolerable Lisa is) Oh boy, Lisa is not going to do well, is she? I mean, Emma, you could've told Ziad SO much sooner Oop, Stig, even if that's a fan, maybe don't kiss her in a pic This is more evidence than I thought Spring had, not gonna lie Ho boy, Stig, you should present your story BEFORE Spring does (and like, I do think you cheated, but still, you should tell her first either way) I like Sheena's dress I am glad that Molly is still getting out and seeing the sites I do find it amusing that Forrest and Sheena are seeing Venice in the Philippines I do NOT like these clowns King Forrest the Graceful Sheena is so cute Elise, I do want the best of you Wow, she's got great nipples Five proposals is admittedly a lot of proposals by age 32 Okay, yes, work on yoursel...

15 things I'd try to do if I ran a spa

No, I don't think I will ever run a spa, but here are things that I think could be cool for one (that likely are offered by some spas). Allow folks to pick their soundtrack if they're in a private room (we would have playlists for them to choose from as well as allow them to submit a playlist/audiobook/podcast of their own ahead of time to be sure whoever is providing them services is okay with that playlist's/audiobook's/podcast's content and tone) Provide an option for folks to meet with the employees who will be providing them service beforehand so folks can be comfortable and learn more about the process Give folks a survey to fill out before their services to find out if folks have any known "hot spots" (meaning areas they do not want touched) or other things they dislike/want to steer clear of if possible/need to avoid (these could be allergies, or they could be things like "Oh, I want to be sure my hair doesn't get wet because of x, y, and ...

Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race season 18, episode 8

The Snatch Game of Love: Island! Aw, poor Juicy Oop more of the remaining queens have wins than I realized Uh, Discord, I don't think you've always gotten 4.95 star critiques Oop a Darlene is starting a curse Omg Mrs. Claus is a funny pick for Darlene Truman Capote is an interesting one on Jane's part Discord doing the pope is hilarious, but definitely could offend some folks Myki does sound like Drew Barrymore To be fair, Kenya, yes Willow did have to lip sync for her life after impersonating Barrymore, but she also went on to win the season Oh, Juicy, I'm worried for you Mia, Big Ang was done before Kori King as well Nini, I'd go with David Attenborough Juicy, you don't know Brooke Shields? It doesn't feel good to tell Athena to "go Greek" Okay, Athena, "Greta Feta" is a pretty funny name (and so far at least, she's funny herself) Jane, no surprise, is hilarious Mia leaning into her physicality is a great choice (but oof, banter is ...

15 thoughts I had while getting a massage recently

I knew I was going to have a tough day over the past weekend, so I indulged and booked myself a massage for the following day. However, as you'll see from reading, it was not the best experience. I am fully aware that complaining about a massage is a whiny thing to do, but I wanted to get the thoughts that were swirling through my head onto a (digital) page. I am too in my head My inner legs are more sensitive than I thought I might be a tad touch-starved (touch-hungry?) My body kind of recoils from touch though I did not know that muscle could flinch like that (or even that that was a muscle) While I do mostly want quiet during a massage, I was a little perturbed that she worked on my chest (over the blanket) without giving me a heads up (I have never had a masseuse touch there before) I thought the masseuse said this oil was "lemon grass," but I did have my headphones in when she was listing the possible scents and I think it was just "lemon" Does the masseuse...

Working on my cryptid novel idea, part 1

Okay, I've finally started writing the novel that I did some stream of consciousness posts about ( "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 1" ,  "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 2" , and "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 3" ). Now, I want to keep it unpublished, but I also want credit for working on it (lol). So, with that in mind, I'll do a post like this when I've worked on it for a bit, and you can shoot me a message if you'd like access to the Google doc. NB: While there will be multiple posts in this vein, I will not link them to each other because the text will remain the same, so linking to part 1 from part 2 won't yield any new information.  (Prompt by me) Photo by Bernd 📷 Dittrich on Unsplash
