Posted on June 12, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Saturday. I am at the brunch spot again. I don’t know why I’m here. There’s construction across the way and it’s really, really loud. I guess I am here because they do a good Bloody Mary. It’s not quite right but it is what it is. Last night I decided...Read More

BLOG: My Very Own Hype Beast

Friday. Here we are at the Brunch Spot. I promise I will fix all of these dumb placeholder names in the final version. I don’t have my vintage book of baby names with me, which I use to help me come up with new ones. Yes, I know, I could...Read More

BLOG: Train to Somewhere

Posted on June 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Sitting in the coffee shop. The vibe in my world today is very “Now What?” Now what, indeed. Okay, I’ve been gone for exactly one year now. I gone on a crazy adventure and spent most of my money. I do have the makings for a decent book manuscript,...Read More

BLOG: Failure, but with Style & Confidence!

Posted on June 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. Here we are. How did my job thing go today? Oh, it didn’t. Why? The usual, well-documented reason. I freaked out, had an anxiety attack, started crying, went into full meltdown mode, and then locked myself in my room and shut off my phone. Sadly, this is normal for...Read More

BLOG: The Longest Movie Ever

Posted on June 9, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. I have a job interview today and I don’t want to stress about it, so I am going to talk about something else instead. That something else is the film “Lawrence of Arabia,” which is a journey I went on yesterday in an attempt not to freak out. Let’s...Read More

Monday. Here I am at ye olde Irish pub. And may I just say… HELLLOOOOO sexy beefcake! Who is this hottie with a body who just walked in and sat right across the bar from me? I can hear a faint accent. Is it an Irish accent? Gurl ‘cause if...Read More

Monday. 2:30am. We are having thunderstorms here in HK. The thunder is very loud and the Lightning is very bright. It keeps me awake at night. Luckily, I napped a lot today during the rain, so it’s okay. So much to recount from this weekend. It was a lot. Friday...Read More

BLOG: The Darjeeling Limited

Posted on June 5, 2026June 5, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Fri-yay! I am currently hungover AF, which is a shame because I had big plans for today. In addition to the two interviews and dozens of rejections, I had three follow-ups that I definitely planned to follow up on today. Naturally, I self-sabotaged by getting way too drunk while I...Read More

BLOG: The Great Mystery

Posted on June 3, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Today is The Day That Doesn’t Exist, aka May 35th. I can’t actually write about it, so you will just have to look it up. This is an example of what people actually mean when they talk about censorship in China. That rule is for Big Important Stuff, not...Read More

BLOG: Man vs Cockroach

Posted on June 2, 2026June 3, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Oh my god. I can’t even right now. Ew. It’s so gross. I can’t. Okay, so, like, I know the realities of city life… but… so far, I have not had any direct encounters with cockroaches in my own house. My safe space. My cave. My little retreat where I...Read More
