I'M PISSED THE HELL OFF: REID #180
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Lily Gladstone has and will continue to change Hollywood with a presence and spirit and genius and kindness thatโs unmatched, and Iโm so fucking pissed she didnโt win
SHORT:
Working on new music!
(moaning and groaning as I stand up/sit down)
MEDIUM:
Just got back from a comedy show where I crushed1.
A man in the front row was laughing so hard during my set, that I had to stop and ask if he was okay, and he said, โyeah, Iโm just Big Daddy Chucklesโ. Soโฆ do with that what you will2.
After crushing, I got a cinnamon raisin bagel with butter3 (at 10pm).
LONG:
Well, the Oscars happened.
I spent the last 3 months watching every single interview Lily Gladstone has ever done and developed a parasocial relationship with her so when she lost, I lost my fucking mind. My heart dropped into my crotch, and I sat on the couch in silence for a good 30 minutes, seething.
Lily learned an entirely new language for the film. Sheโs still SO involved in the Osage community and returns regularly to Oklahoma. Sheโs perfect and a class act and one of the best actors Iโve ever seen. She has and will continue to change Hollywood with a presence and spirit and genius and kindness thatโs unmatched, and Iโm so fucking pissed off she didnโt win but this is just the BEGINNING.ย
Additional Oscar Thoughts:
-Mark Ronson scares the shit out of me for no reason
-I canโt believe everyone was crying to the Billie Eilish song that has the lyric โdonโt tell my boyfriendโ in it, congrats to her tho
-The old winners giving speeches about 2024 nominees felt veryyy Bar Mitzvah candle lighting ceremony
-The Last Repair Shop is phenomenal and you can watch it here. Watch all the way through the credits!
-And Knight Of Fortune, too!

Thanks to the show, the song โMy Favorite Thingsโ from The Sound Of Music has been stuck in my head all week. I would love if โsimply remembering my favorite thingsโ actually worked to fix my atrocious moodsโฆ
[my version of the song just goes โcinnabon cinnabon cinnabon cinnabonโ btw]
Also โwhen the DOG BITESโฆ u simply remember ur favorite things and then donโt feel so bad?โ girl, go 2 hospital!!!
^ *I launch into a tight five on lyrics from The Sound Of Music*
Wish I had more to sayโฆ I probably do but itโs 1am and it took me 3 trains and 2 hours to get homeโฆ
