Didn’t hate it. Didn’t love it. But I was extremely hungry for baked goods after. Streep plays a baker and the pastries she made gave me the ultimate tummy erection.

So it’s midnight in the lovely Bay Area and my room looks as if I am squatting in it because it’s completely bare. It’s like I am Ricky in that Christmas episode of My So-Called Life where he is living in that abandoned warehouse – except less dramatic and there isn’t a singing angel involved. [...]
