BLOG: Hot Pot Comfort

Posted on December 18, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. It’s Emily in Paris day. My plan for the day is to be ultra boring and binge watch Season 5 while doing laundry. I know, I need to start getting out of the house more, but it’s just… hard to do on my own. I did go out with...Read More

BLOG: Channel the Rage

Posted on December 16, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday morning, 6:30am. I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night so I got up to mull around a bit. Eat a snack, smoke a cigarette, write. Put on music to try to take my mind off of everything. I definitely had an angry meltdown over being locked out...Read More

BLOG: Midnight Rodeo

Posted on December 13, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Sunday morning. Out on the rooftop garden. Interesting weekend, sort of. I am not sure what to make of it. On Friday night, I took myself out for NYC-style pizza and one of the better Happy Hour deals. Then I got bored, so I went on Tinder to find some...Read More

Betsey is sitting at her computer, typing away, when suddenly a carrier pigeon knocks on her window. Attached to its leg is a little piece of paper rolled up into a scroll. She opens the window, takes the message from the pigeon and opens it up. MESSAGE: You. Me. The...Read More

On Today’s Episode of Betsey Discovers Her Irish Heritage… We’re in Northern Ireland trying to understand the situation my friend Hermès ran away from. So far… it looks like a shitshow. Not exactly a sexy charity calendar, is it? No. No it is not. That being said, I still think...Read More

BLOG: Do You Believe in Magic?

Posted on December 10, 2025December 10, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. How do I feel today? Well, I had a strange dream featuring an eel, which according to Google is some kind of dick metaphor. Makes sense. And then I woke up with the song “Do You Believe in Magic?” stuck in my head. Yes I do, actually. Yes I...Read More

BLOG: The Creeping Creeper

Posted on December 8, 2025December 9, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. The days run so long here. It’s strange how time passes differently in different places. In Thailand, the days seemed to just drag by, then suddenly three weeks would be gone. Just like that. Spent the day yesterday scrolling through LinkedIn tying to figure out a strategy for my...Read More

BLOG: Thanksgiving Day

Posted on November 27, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Thursday night. Thanksgiving. This is the first Thanksgiving I’ve ever spent alone and without a meal to share with others. No turkey, no pie, no parade, no movie marathon, no family to gather, nothing. It’s really hard for me, actually. I’ve never spent this holiday alone like this before. I...Read More

BLOG: Airport Jail

Posted on November 26, 2025November 26, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday evening. Currently sitting in airport jail in Thailand. Yes, for real. I got nailed in the visa run immigration crackdown. They told me I can come back in a few days with the right paperwork. For now they are holding me here in airport jail until the next flight...Read More

Thursday. Hungover. Very hungover. Mistakes were made, fam. Mistakes were made. Last night was the deciding factor for me to leave Bangkok for awhile. I went to the bar and it was dead. Everyone I was writing about has left or disappeared. I was standing outside smoking a cigarette when...Read More
