A Princess Carolyn line. A good one, too. I’d talk less, smile more. Eat more fresh fruit, drink less– no. No, I wouldn’t. I’d do it all the same, more or less. I’d probably have most of the same virtues and vices. Still waste lots of time. On people and things. But maybe…. just maybe… …
There’s this scene from Bojack Horseman with the titular Bojack gazing into his publicist, Anna Spanakopita’s, home. She’s making dinner. He watches from outside, from a distance, and thinks, It’s so sad that when you see someone as they really are, it ruins them. But he’s not saying it’s sad when you see someone reveal …

I’m idly scrolling through Facebook the other day. Someone made a post with an image of Diane from Bojack Horseman, after her divorce from her celebrity husband where she states, “You feel even more alone than before you left. But you survive.

Diane: Ugh. Of course, the first time BoJack dates a woman his own age, she’s basically just a stunted 20-year-old. Kelsey: Well, BoJack’s stunted, too. He got famous in his twenties, so he’ll be in his twenties forever. After you get famous, you stop growing, you don’t have to. Every celebrity has an age of stagnation. Diane: I’m …

I’m watching the new, and final, season of Bojack Horseman. Normally I skip right past the intro, but I can’t locate the Amazon Fire remote. So I’m stuck watching the intro animation. Oh,well.
