I don't anticipate being able to return to Youtube the way I was before until at least June. Much of why is discussed in this post. If you enjoy hanging with me and want to be a part of the next phase of content for me you really must come find me on Substack (the best app on the internet BTW) and Instagram. Things are going to look different on the channel soon and I dont want to lose track of you guys so please PLEASE come find me :)

The Thrill Is Gone: The long-suffering diatribes of a Gillian Flynn alpha widow

I'm lying on a leather couch in Las Vegas. It's late. Too late to be channel surfing.

Remember that? It's like doomscrolling for people from the 1900s.

It's mostly infomercials at this hour. The Slap Chop. Snuggies. Girls Gone Wild compilations. The usual suspects.

I stop on an interview taking place on a red carpet. A beautiful actress has an E! Entertainment branded microphone shoved in her face and the reporter asks a question I genuinely want to hear the answer to (a rarity, as celebrity culture has always bored me to tears).

"What was the last book you read?"

I remember in 2001, Mariah Carey made an impromptu stop on MTV’s TRL to promote her ill-fated semi-autobiographical movie/album Glitter. Live on camera (to the shock of the audience and Carson Daly) she did a mini striptease, passed out popsicles to the audience members, shimmied around the studio in golden spike stilettos, and cooed to her adoring fans.

She was soon after hospitalized for a mysterious celebrity affliction called “exhaustion.”

A glamorous and mysterious condition.

To my 14-year-old brain, and to the tabloid elite as well, it seemed mostly made up.

Who wasn’t exhausted?
This perspective aged like tuna salad in the sun but what did we know?

Because prior to the winter of 2025/2026, on some level I believed that Cabin Fever, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and the Winter Blues were similarly invented.

Who didn’t hate winter?
The idea was simple enough: a lack of sunshine and activity could, to various degrees of severity, make a person a little nutty. The concept made sense on paper. We are living beings that need sunlight and fresh air and connection with the world around us. But the extent to which those things could have a real, impactful effect on one's day-to-day life?

Seemed overblown....

Thanks to all of you who left kind comments on my new video yesterday. It was definitely new territory but I have really enjoyed hearing from you guys. It does have me thinking about how I can continue to make content sharing thoughts on pop culture / current events and I open to suggestions and your thoughts. I hope you are all having a blessed day!
