It’s pretty much the only thing on my mind, even though I have so much to do LOL. Like a writing deadline, and a full work day tomorrow, but all I can think about is we’re only just a few hours away from what ARMY has been waiting for for years…

The BTS Comeback. In just a few hours, ARIRANG will set sail, a new era, new music, a new performance; ARMY, we survived! And now that we’ve survived, here comes the gorging, as usual. We are feasting! Even before the album drop, the teases are coming one after another.

Meanwhile Forbes is projecting massive numbers. Pre-saves have already been huge on Spotify, and fans have already pre-ordered so many physical copies, it’ll be so interesting to see what the figures are next week and how it’s being reported.

What else happened today (is there something else happening today other than BTS?)….

Zach Galifianakis is doing a gardening show. I am interested, not because I garden but because I don’t. I specialise in killing things. Not even living things. My husband will tell you, if I so much as touch a thing, whether it’s a plant or an electronic device, it immediately stops working. Is my body frequency a virus that inhibits function? Back to gardening, I would like to have herbs on the back deck, like basil and mint and dill, that I can just pop out for when I’m cooking. Not sure if Zach’s show is going to teach me how to do that, but maybe it’ll give me the confidence I need to start. (Pajiba)

Kathryn Newton is in a purple dress and technically she’s promoting Ready or Not 2 but I’m choosing to see this as a BTS fan wearing BTS’s colour. Borahae! (Go Fug Yourself)

Are you watching Paradise? Because my theory is that not enough people are watching Paradise and I say this because I am dying to talk about Paradise with someone and I can’t find an outlet! Even Kathleen, who watches the show, hasn’t started season two yet. I LOVE this show, and this season is SO good. So if you haven’t already, here’s a primer. (Mama Mia)

Barack Obama is talking about aliens. Steven Spielberg is talking about aliens. Ryan Gosling’s best friend is an alien. Aliens are the new Labubu. Does everybody want an alien? (Celebitchy)

Here are the hairstyle trends for 2026 and, as usual, it’s always the names of them that are sending me. That said, I like the name of the way I’ve been wearing my hair lately with the layers around my face: The Cloud Cut. (Refinery 29)
