I went on Netflix looking for a film. Preferably something pretty, comforting, and unlikely to make me question my entire approach to life. Tuscany seemed like a safe choice.

Some people listen to a new Taylor Swift album and move on with their day. I listen, replay, overthink a line, change my mind about a song, and somehow end up with enough thoughts to fill an entire blog post. So, naturally, here we are.

Disney's Cinderella turned ten just a few days ago, which gave me the perfect excuse to revisit the blue dress, the grand staircase, the romantic music, and a prince who looks like Richard Madden. A decade later, I'm still completely willing to believe in a little fairy-tale magic. But watching it again made me wonder about one part of the story I hadn't thought much about before: what happens after the glass slipper fits?

I went into With Love, Meghan expecting a cosy little escape: a beautiful kitchen, something delicious in the oven, and perhaps a hosting trick I could steal without first purchasing an entire California estate. I came away with a more complicated feeling. The kitchen was beautiful. I just wasn't sure I wanted to stay in it for eight episodes.

I started Running Point for Kate Hudson and stayed for a woman trying to run a basketball team while her family tests the limits of her patience. Somewhere between the boardroom arguments and the locker-room drama, I also found myself reconsidering something I used to believe about women at work.
The person behind the diary
Hi, I'm Lori.
I started this diary in 2013 as a place to write about whatever had my attention. I still do.
Films, cafés, cities, love, work, and the thoughts that won't leave me alone.
