I'M PISSED THE HELL OFF: REID #180
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Lily Gladstone has and will continue to change Hollywood with a presence and spirit and genius and kindness that’s unmatched, and I’m so fucking pissed she didn’t 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, “yeah, I’m just Big Daddy Chuckles”. So… 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. She’s still SO involved in the Osage community and returns regularly to Oklahoma. She’s perfect and a class act and one of the best actors I’ve ever seen. She has and will continue to change Hollywood with a presence and spirit and genius and kindness that’s unmatched, and I’m so fucking pissed off she didn’t win but this is just the BEGINNING.
Additional Oscar Thoughts:
-Mark Ronson scares the shit out of me for no reason
-I can’t believe everyone was crying to the Billie Eilish song that has the lyric “don’t tell my boyfriend” 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!
Other News:
Kate Middleton is supposedly “experimenting with editing”
Does she want to take a crack at editing my comedy reels4?
54 Below Show is coming up. Get tickets!
Thanks to the show, the song “My Favorite Things” from The Sound Of Music has been stuck in my head all week. I would love if “simply remembering my favorite things” actually worked to fix my atrocious moods…
[my version of the song just goes “cinnabon cinnabon cinnabon cinnabon” btw]
Also “when the DOG BITES… u simply remember ur favorite things and then don’t feel so bad?” girl, go 2 hospital!!!
^ *I launch into a tight five on lyrics from The Sound Of Music*
Wish I had more to say… I probably do but it’s 1am and it took me 3 trains and 2 hours to get home…

Shoutout to my friend Agnes who made me laugh before going onstage by whispering, “want me to record in case anything funny happens?”
I’m either gonna get married to or killed by him. Maybe both.
