FINALLY watching The Monkees with my parents. I haven't watched it since I was so little that I can only remember pictures.

I love thinking I'm a hater and then meeting a real hater and going wow that does not look fun actually. Going back to my lukewarm hater ways. Performative haterdom. I couldn't name five hater bands.

This morning I went to Dunkin for the first time since they took away my favorite little treat. Do any of the refreshers not taste like overly sweetened fruity plastic?
