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

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: Scars from the Past

Posted on May 17, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. My neighborhood and the coffee shop are both dead as a doornail. I asked the barista if there is a holiday I don’t know about today. He said the holiday is next week. He also says Mondays are usually pretty dead for some reason. No one really knows why....Read More

BLOG: Erotic Thriller Inspiration

Posted on May 8, 2026May 10, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday afternoon. Post-yoga vibes. Waiting on my lunch at the healthy place. I am trying to be kinder to myself and embrace the whole “healthy yogi” thing. I like cheeseburgers far too much to ever go full crunchy, but a side of granola every now and then isn’t a bad...Read More

BLOG: Recovery Takes Time

Posted on April 22, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Here we are! Wednesday in Hong Kong! Sitting outside the coffee shop people-watching, as per usual. I love people-watching in Hong Kong. The outfits! Le gasp! Hong Kongers have such great style. It’s very comfy, very casual, but somehow also very professional and classy. I could sit here and watch...Read More

BLOG: Irish at SEA

Posted on April 21, 2026April 21, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday, later in the day. Still in a daze. Somehow made it over to the Kowloon side to hit up the Irish pub. Nothing a bit o’ stew and a pint can’t fix, am I right? No, you don’t understand. This is not alcohol. This is Guinness. It’s not the...Read More

BLOG: I Think We Lost The Plot

Posted on April 9, 2026April 9, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Where did the week go? Oh yes, I know. I spent all day yesterday sucked into Netflix while actively avoiding reality. Nothing like a good true crime docu trio to wake you up to all of the different ways life could go wrong. I’m not really partial to the...Read More

BLOG: What Are You, An Irish Dock Worker?

Posted on March 22, 2026March 22, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday afternoon. Currently sitting at a very lovely outdoor cafe in the Mid-Levels. Everyone in here right now is French. It’s a whole vibe. I got dressed up in my “work attire” (long skirt and a sweater) to come here and write today. Apparently I missed the memo that Sundays...Read More

BLOG: Lady, Interrupted

Posted on March 19, 2026March 19, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. At the coffee shop. One of my barista friends was so happy to see me when I came in. She was like, “OMG you are literally the first normal person to come in here today. All morning it’s been tourists! They just keep getting weirder and weirder. And then...Read More

BLOG: Unmasked!

Posted on March 15, 2026March 18, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. Spent most of the day yesterday recovering from my ridiculous Saturday night out. I only left my apartment to go to the coffee shop and the market around the corner to pick up ingredients for my “Hangover Drink,” which I invented after discovering the lack of decent Bloody Marys...Read More
