Judd Apatow was a simple man. He wore simple beige pants with a black polo shirt that was loosely fitted. He was cool. I couldn't believe I was in the room with him. Let me back up a little. It was my first time at the Sony lot in Culver City. It was a cloudy,…
Review: Babylon
I was so excited about Damien Chazelle's next movie Babylon. As I mentioned, Damien Chazelle captured my heart, like many other hearts, by creating La La Land in 2016. I was excited to watch a movie that was going to make me ignite a fire in me and inspire some beautiful emotions. I had no…
#265 unreachable dreams
It is the last Wednesday blog for 2022, and that's exciting. I'm looking forward to the new year. I love January, even though once upon a time, I didn't.

Bla Bla Land: Chapter 38
I made a good amount of mistakes at Barry Katz Entertainment. I messed up Barry’s salad many times. He told me that the chef knew him and would make it the way he wanted, but the chef had no idea who I was or what I wanted. This led to a screwed-up salad. He had…
Review: Violent Night
Violent Night directed by Tommy Wirkola stars David Harbour. David Harbour is one of those actors I love to support. I don't know him personally, but I have watched his interviews, and he seems like a good person. I like to support good people always. Sometimes I don't think my support means anything, and it…

#255 spooky showers
I have spent a lot of nights at the gym this past year. At least four times a week, I head to the gym after a whole of work. I push myself even if my legs feel like jello from a whole night of serving plates of food to some hungry, needy, and occasionally sweet…
#251 catch up
Patys. This is a catch-up post. Yesterday, September 20,2022 at 9:57am, my niece was born. Her name is Yasna. What a blessing she is. So many different emotions honestly, but overall, it was a special day. I met her today. She is perfect. Being an aunt has been a such blessing. It has made me…
#248 is there or is there not?
Power morphicon I had a dream about my brother, Yama, a couple of days ago. It was such a strange dream. Somedays, it makes me really sad the thought of never seeing my family again. What I mean is in the afterlife. What if we never see each other again and none of this matters?…
