Toys R Us closing is really not going to help with my recurring dream that I stumble into a really old and amazing toy store that I thought had closed.

I mean yeah, if I'm honest, I have far, far more toys than a 35-year-old woman needs, but by now I think we're all on about the same page about how the real issue with Toys R Us is it's a microcosm of how society is being devoured by capitalist cannibal ogres?

So I left work early because of this enormous storm and it was the most fraught drive I've ever done. And I mean I made it back home okay, but now I'm day drinking with popcorn.

I am an old lady who is desperate to go to bed at 9:30, but I still like to consider myself "cool" and "with it"
