@NewYorkCity, cute! 😘 Aw!!! Did you think that I had a bottomless bank account and a doppelgänger?! Adorable! Did you think that I make my own work schedule?! Lololol. Did you know I selflessly spent hours and hours making this list in a self-interested attempt to ameliorate FOMO? Only to have to make impossible choices? I’m pretty sure I care more about these “events” than most people.  I’m pretty sure I buy more tickets than most people would if they had a choice, but nobody asked me about my schedule. 💪🏼😘NYC, you’re adorably out of touch. 😍 Thanks for the impossibly packed fall schedule and already-sold-out events. The fall looks cute. The art, the music, the dances, and the films look cute. I know you don’t care and I should calm down. Complaining isn’t going to un-sell tickets to the oldsters who will fall asleep during the sold-out events I would kowtow to Louise Linton’s personal assistant to obtain. Anyway, have a pleasant September everyone! Let me know if you want to join me! I’m going to relax and re-watch Twin Peaks in preparation for the season finale this Sunday, it’s fab!
