It's been a rough few months. This right here made me so happy! I've been listening to the @HamiltonMusical album, on heavy repeat, for 4 years. Never having seen the musical, I've only dreamt of being in the room where it happens, urning for a chance to experience it. Had tickets to finally go on July 10th at the @HollywoodPantagesTheatre. Then the world turned upside down. Covid went and threw away my shot and I was stuck made to wait for it, wondering, what comes next. It blew me away to hear they were releasing this early on @DisneyPlus. So this weekend I sat, took a break, popped some popcorn, tossed in some M&M's, grabbed an ice cold Samuel Adams and pressed play. I can honestly say... I am very very Satisfied. #HamiltonTheMusical #Hamilton #YES! #YouSeeWhatIDidThere #ForThoseWhoMissedItIUsedTitleFromTheMusicalInMyCaption #ImCleverIsWhatImSaying 😜 #IfYouDontKnowNowYouKnow https://www.instagram.com/p/CCT8dOvp1UC/?igshid=lgw1b2gh2j4

Sometimes a movie makes you feel "right at home." Still missing that #SetLlife. But I'm also enjoying my current "new normal" life. I mean I don't know when, if ever, I would have seen this movie, if not for this #QuarentineLife. If you need a good laugh, especially if you work in the industry, check it out. It made me miss it and also... Not miss (some of) it at all. #TheBigPicture #ChristopherGuest #WeWillGetThroughThis #SoManyMovieAndSoMuchTime #ITextedLennyAQuoteAndScreenGrabThinkingIHadTurnedHimOnToSomethingButHeHadAlreadySeenIt #DamnYouLennyStopHavingSeenAllTheThings (at Studio City, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_q7_pypCmy/?igshid=ifpe3965tir3

With all this civil unrest happening, you might ask... Are you ready?!? 2 swords and a broomstick. I'm ready for sure if it goes down! 🤗 #QuarantineLife #WeWillGetThroughThis #ComeAtMeBro #Swords & #Broomstick #IsThisRealLife (at Studio City, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_TXKHfpx1k/?igshid=lewg422pa2jg

My @Chipotle delivery order came with a burrito, chips and queso, "Toilet Paper" substitute (I'm serious, so many napkins), 4 forks and 6 knives. So, I'm good on TP and I will take the hint and start learning how to throw knives starting tomorrow. I'm not mad or flexing, just confused. 🙃😐 Real talk: Shout-out to the delivery/service/restaurant/grocery store workers out there. You're appreciated, don't be stingy with the tips people. #QuarantineLife #WeWillGetThroughThis #TheNewQuesoRecipeIsBetterButStillNotThereYetKeepTryingIBelieveInYou (at Studio City, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_OKOuupE4K/?igshid=1dw3d615j7gv1

Look, I'm Political AF. I don't care that this badge has somehow become a badge of "dishonor" and/or is scary for some to wear. I don't know when that happened. We should be Political. We shouldn't lean left, right or sit in the middle. We should speak our mind and our truth. We should express how we feel and have an educated discussion. We should debate and disagree and, so often, come to a compromise. Because that is what we have always been about as a community. Not just as a city, state or nation. But as a community. Small, independent and focused on the greater good. That being said, I am so tired of whatever this is... This is some BS! Where is the good in this? The Greater Good. #FactsOverFeelings #FactsFromFauci #LetsDiscuss #LetsTalkItThrough #TheFactIs... #WeWillGetThroughThis #Together #AndOnlyTogether (at Studio City, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Jg2mYpCEJ/?igshid=54cz9r6jvdg6

My new normal 😳😔 #QuarentineLife #WeWillGetThroughThis #StayAtHome #TPStories I first put this on my stories but didn't realize when it saves to your phone it doesn't include the music. Is it just me, or did it use to I include the music? Whatever, I figured it out. (at Studio City, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Iea2qHx9x/?igshid=19le5ht4wi78f

First touchdown and "W" of the season for the @packers. I sure do love me some #Football.
