Sorta related, but I was trying to remember a song the other day where a guy is proposing to a woman. I eventually realized it was “On My Way” (2012) by Passion Pit. So I decided to go to wikipedia to see if it was based on real events, and it was. But then the story goes wonky.
Michael Angelakos wrote the song to propose to his then girlfriend Kristy Mucci. But while engaged to Mucci, he started also dating Madeleine Dubus. He became a drunk and drug addict and was abusive towards Mucci and Dubus. He still married Mucci in 2013, but they announced they were divorcing in 2015. Later that year, Angelakos announced he was gay. In 2018, he came out as bisexual.
In 2025, he said he took too many shrooms and wrote a long email to Dubus that prompted a wellness check on him. Months later, he married Dubus and she became his manager. That same year, he wrote a series of essays, much of which were about his inability to clean up after himself at home and the problems that causes. He also described “snorting a billion grams of ketamine.”
Anyway, it kinda takes the song down a notch for me.

"Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.” ― Douglas Adams, “The Salmon of Doubt”

I was staying at hostel in Switzerland. I clogged the toilet. I went to the front desk for help. The desk person followed me to the bathroom, took a look, said “It’s too big,” chuckled, and then just went back to the desk. I ended up doodie knifing it with a wire hanger.

The thing about Stephen King is he doesn’t usually plan his stories. He just writes and goes where it take him. Hence, they sometimes go to funny places.
