Nicki Minaj has Blair Waldorf Syndrome

January Brain Dump

Have you ever had a client suddenly email you and tell you they want the project you had six days to do in six hours? Well, that's what happened to me yesterday, and that's why this is coming out a day late. Happy February and wow, what a year the last month has been. We're already a month into 2024 and I'm shook, frankly. Though I personally have tried to ignore  the “new year, new me” of it all, I can't deny it: there is something different in the air -- or is it just me?  It might just be the fumes radiating  off of Mrs Petty's Nicki Minaj's diss track responding to Megan thee Stallion, which is positively radioactive. but I digress.

January was a busy month for me as we've entered award season and a number of projects I've been working on have moved beyond the fun and sexy beginning and into the churning middle. I always want to read more when I'm getting deep into projects: it reminds me that people actually do finish things even if it feels like I'm in an ever- stretching middle. So I have thoughts to share on what I've been reading, in addition to what I’ve been watching and listening to. But first I have to get something off my chest: Nicki Minaj has Blair Waldorf Syndrome, and I hate to see it.
