In honor of National Doughnut Day, I bought a baker’s dozen! ...But came home and dropped them all over the steps as I tried to unlock my door while balancing the box in my hand. Not only did I learn that I can’t do the simplest of multitasking, but that the loss of my sweet treats can easily ruin my entire day. I snapped at my boyfriend because he asked what we should have for dinner. I told him I never wanted anything again, ever. That’s valid, right? I need to mourn. @hollywoodland-hqs​

If anyone has any tips on how to handle attention better then honestly please let me know so I never have to experience the surprise party meltdown ever again. ( Some years ago, my ex-wife threw a birthday party for me, and I was so nervous I thought eating a little weed cookie would help chill me out. Spoiler alert: that shit did the exact opposite. Have you ever had a panic attack in the bathroom while people outside are dressed in whacky costumes, all waiting for you to come out? Still haunts me to this day. ) So yeah, any advice welcome. Until then, I’m Dave, and I’m just going to be hiding under 32 pounds of cat. 

Turns out there are a seemingly infinite number of ways to arrange my living room furniture, none of which match the incredibly specific (read: unrealistic) vision I’ve created in my head. Clearly this means it’s as good a time as any to call it quits and settle for a large glass of wine and several hours of Netflix binging, right? [@hollywoodland-hqs​]

Has anyone ever had a really embarrassing moment live on a chat show? Whether it made the cut or not? Years later I still have PTSD from the time my trousers ripped on the Jonathan Ross show, while I was wearing bright white boxers underneath, no less. Now before I go out on them I have to whack out a few hard squats backstage just to make sure there won’t be a repeat. I’m Nicholas, by the way. You can call me Nick, or ‘that bowl-cut wanker from About a Boy’. 

Hey, anybody remember me? I’m that dude who used to be in movies and take his shirt off. Zac Efron, that’s right. You’re probably wondering “whatever happened to him?” Don’t ask. It’s a long story. Hopefully you’ll hear or see me on your screens again soon enough. Til then, at least my baby face is on Disney+ now. Hope you’re all enjoying that. @hollywoodland-hqs​

The last few weeks have been... extremely crazy, with all these awards ceremonies, and 1917 doing so well. Do I care that I wasn’t nominated for my acting? Only a tiny bit. But that’s fine, being invited to all the fancy events and meeting some of my absolute idols has been a total dream, and more than make up for it, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I honestly cannot even begin to fathom how crazy my life is now. To All The Boys 2 came out nearly a month ago and yet it still feels like it hasn’t come out yet. All the hype around it is still real. The insane, lovely build up that comes post movie is finally winding down, though, and I cannot wait to finally get some time to rest. I did get to go to the Mulan premiere last night, though, and that was honestly the highlight of the whole thing. @hwlstart​

It’s gotten to the point where I’m doing an in house concert for my dogs every single night. Different artist each night, just to make sure they don’t get bored. We did Beyonce, Whitney Houston, Prince, Taylor Swift, and Britney Spears so far. I haven’t decided what tonight is going to be just yet, but if you have any suggestions, let me know. Maybe I’ll even facetime you and let you join. My dogs are tough critics though, so be prepared. @hollywoodland-hqs​
