Good morning, everyone. It is currently 6.18 am. I really need to head off. Hey guys, welcome back to another college week in my life vlog. This is the last like college week in my life vlog for the rest of the year because the rest of them will be vlogmas and daily vlogs. How exciting! So if you guys are new here, be sure to subscribe. It's 6.20. I'm about to head out to Humpalates. I have Palates at 7. And then today, as you guys know, my school, for my 15-second spiel, it's for the new people. I don't say this every time who listen or watch these vlogs all the time. I say it for the new people because it's really confusing. So I go to Zoey Leadership College. Half internship, half college. It's accredited through Southeastern University. When I graduate, I will have a bachelor's in business administration. Anyways, as you guys know, we have not had an office this semester. We've just been bopping around because for like a lot of reasons we normally have an office, but we finally got a new one, which is really exciting. It's like legitimately an hour away from me in traffic though. So that's really unfortunate to figure that out. I think I'm just going to start. I already go work out before class two days a week. And the one day that I don't, I think I'm just going to leave at like 6 a.m. and go to the Starbucks right there and just get work done because if I leave super early, it's only 30 minutes instead of like waiting an hour in traffic.  So, oh yeah, also guys, look, this is a new piece of merch for I Love You So Much. I got it yesterday. It's just a big crew neck. It's so cute. It is available December 1st, so set your alarm for December 1st, 8 a.m. So anyways, ugh. So good morning people. Like I was saying, this week is so busy and I found out that a new office is an hour for me, which is like two hours in the car. That's like two hours of the day that I just like do not have. Like, I don't have. I'm so grateful for us and I'm so happy for us, but I just have to like figure out my life because I'm like, I am already like spreading myself so thin and like it's not stuff. I mean, yeah, I guess I could upload less in the spring or something, but like that's just like, that doesn't make sense to me to like not work. And like I just am not like, no, no, it's not happening. That's like my job. But then like that's a main job. So like that's not really gonna work either. And then, um, yeah, like before, I mean, it may not sound like an extra hour total in the car day, but like the office before was so close to the studio, so I could just go after class and like, I don't think I'll really be able to go after class much anymore because it'll be closed. So like it's just things that I'm like, oh gosh, like I'm just kind of overwhelmed. I'm like really grateful for this office and I think it's the best thing ever, but I am very overwhelmed and like, I just don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do. So that is that. But I'm on my way to Pilates today. We're actually moving into the new space. So after Pilates, I'm meeting with my director at Ikea. She texted me that we're going on a secret mission to Ikea. So I don't really know what that means, but we're gonna go to Ikea and then we're gonna, from like 12 to 230, load in in the new office and I'm here. I'm out of Pilates and I'm doing my makeup. I actually had a great revelation that could potentially help me with school being so far away. Got this new mascara yesterday, old school YouTube. It's the It Cosmetics collab with Drybar, which is why it looks like this. It's the lash blowout mascara. I've been wanting to try this, so I picked it up. It's a Fora.  I like it. It kind of reminds me of why am I forgetting? It's not helping you at all, but okay. Yeah, I like it. It's fine.  So anyways, I was thinking and I think that what I'm gonna have to do is just continue to do my 7a workouts even on Wednesdays because then it cuts my drive in half. Like I'll do 30 minutes to class, 30 minutes to school, because I texted my friend who is on staff who lives like 10 minutes from me and he's like, no, it's legit in our five minute drive. And I was like, oh, if not, like, I'm like, I just don't, I just have everything like it's a lot. Being a college student and doing all that stuff is a lot and I have everything so planned out perfectly to where I'm able to do everything, but like this really threw a wrench in my little plan. So we'll see. I'm gonna try my best to just make everything work.  Who freaking knows? Anyways, I'm gonna head off to Ikea. I literally have to drive back to where I was earlier. I don't even have the settings right. I'm wearing my outdoor voices said I use this little bag. Oh my gosh. From Jennifer Fisher and I just keep it in my purse. And this is where I keep all my hoops and my jewelry because I'm always taking them off, putting them back on after Pilates. But I just listened to the Skinny Confidential episode on her pregnancy. Not that that has anything to do with me, but I just love them. So it turns out Ikea doesn't open until 10. So I'm here at Starbucks and it's nine and they told us I could hear nine 30, which is like totally fine because now I can just get some editing done, which I will use especially. I'm so sorry if I was like stressed out this morning. And it was being projected. I'm probably gonna edit out some of it, just trying to figure out my life. But really grateful. So excited that we have this new office. And I'm just really excited for today. Oh my gosh. And I just got an email about a really cool deal that I'm doing for my niece that I'm like literally so excited for. And we're doing it while we're in Texas. You guys will see in the vlog. But yeah, I'm going to go in and I'm actually getting a new channel banner made.   Honestly, like 40 minutes here and there really adds up. So if I have like a free 30, even 20 minutes, like I pull up my laptop and I get stuff done and that really, really helps me. I do this so that I have days like Saturdays where I can be really chill and lay back like I'm talking about how I hate hustle culture. I'm very like where I'm at is what I'm doing. So if it's like Monday, I'm working. I'm like I'm in work mode. But if it's a Saturday, I'm like I'm in chill mode. And we've really been taking Saturdays lately to just like relax and chill, which I'm not really able to do that this week for the first time forever just because I'm going out of town for the week to chill anyways. But it's like, honestly, it's made the quality of my life so much better, the quality of my work so much better. I feel so much better. It's amazing. I did an entire episode on hustle culture on my podcast to subscribe because if it's not out yet, it's coming out very soon. So we're going to Starbucks now. Okay, bye. Okay, so here we go. We're going to Starbucks. All right, guys, just went to Starbucks for an hour. Got so much time. My friends met me there. Now we're just driving next door to IKEA. So we got a new office, like I said. So we're moving, which is very exciting. And we have to get like pick out basically a ton of stuff for an office. This is basically like they're calling like a ministry center. We've never had something like this big or this cool before. So does this work? I don't know. It's really exciting. Finishing my guess what comment down below if you can guess this order. This I literally am showing it to you pretty much. But yeah, it's very exciting. So we're based we're moving tonight. That's the focus of today. And we're shopping at IKEA, which will be very fun. Here we are people cocoa. I'm plant lady right now. So much. Oh my gosh. We're at IKEA. Here we go with our Starbucks drinks. Marianne is really on to the peppermint cold brew as well. Well, that's not do you get the chestnut pretty latte though? Yeah. That's what I always get in the holidays, except for this new drink. So we're about to go in. Really on my summer walker kick right now guys. Anyways, we just left IKEA. We had to basically like furnish the office. So we got like desk and stuff for staff members and plants and it was honestly really fun. Like I was we were laughing for like two hours. I'm currently on the way to the office. I'm only going to be there for like an hour really to help them because normally we get out of class at 2.30 or three. I'm living out 2.30 today. But yeah, I'm really excited. I feel like I'm going to get over the drive and it'll be fine and everything's gonna work out. But I'm really excited because apparently it's awesome and we've been needing this office literally since like way before I even got there. I mean Zoe was only around for two years before I got there. But um yeah, we just have never had a space like this and it's like kind of five years in and this is our first one. So I'm really excited about that. But yeah, I'm really hungry. Haven't had lunch yet. We're going to go. I'm going to see the space. I'm going to help as much as I possibly can and then I'm going to leave and then obviously the rest of the week I'm there. So we'll just whatever. I'm so sorry for my windshield. My windshield wipers are broken. So or messed up.  It's a very beautiful drive. Never seen her. MTV Chris. Oh my gosh guys. So tonight we are decorating the Christmas tree officially and Quinton just hung up my light thing here, which we know the black cords there. It's fine. I need to get these frames. So I need to order two frames for these just to have in general. But I should get little mini ornaments. It's so cute. Oh, oh thank you. But this needs to stay here. We have this from last year. I'm only here for like the rest of this week in two weeks in December. So like I am going to do my tree and my normal stuff, but not as psycho as I normally get. I mean it's actually pretty a lot. Coco was helping. Okay, Coco helped you. Oh look at what he's wearing. We're actually matching right now, which that is so not me. It's so embarrassing to me. No offense, Q, but like No, it's so embarrassing. He like made me match guys. So thank you, Q. So we're going to decorate the tree tonight. He put the wreath up here. You can walk there. The race up here. Look at the, did you see this that he did this? The pine cones. Wow. This house thing is back. Actually, I say that I'm not going crazy, but like for a college student, it's just like a lot. Okay, I know that I have more ornaments than this. So I'm going to put these all up and just see. I think it should be fine. But we found this polaroid photo from back when Quinton was friendzoned. That's Quinton two years ago. That's so funny. That was the first night we made honey butter chicken biscuits. What? That's so funny. That's like actually so funny. This was my first commencement at DLC. So like a year and a half ago now, but yeah, these are from Target last year. And then these are probably either from Target or Amazon. Dang it. I'm like really worried that I just some ornaments are lost somewhere in my house. Hopefully this fills the tree. I normally have way more stuff than this. My mom would not be proud of me, but you got to do what you got to do. Just made some tacos. So three amigos. We really do spend so much time together. Like we actually are together all the time. So you're the only other person I really hang out with. You're the only person I consistently see except for my roommate. Yeah, I consistently see Morgan and Quinton and that's pretty much it. So that's the only priority. Yep. All right, everyone. Morgan's here. We're going to decorate the Christmas tree. I thought I had way more ornaments that I do. So we're going to do what I can for tonight. Make it look cute. I don't have a tree skirt, but I got to figure that one out. Quinton made us hot chocolate. Oh yeah, you should get the Alfred one, Morgan. It's very fitting for you. Well, wait, the Texas one is coming for you. Thank you. Oh, thank you. Hello. Wow, this is hot. Aw. I know. I picked out cups accordingly. Quinton, I'm sorry that I, thank you so much. I really appreciate this. I just want to say PSA. I'm sorry that I, okay. I'm sorry that I said that it's embarrassing. I still am not the person that wants to match. I just like didn't peg you as that either. So I thought that we were just in the clear. But we're not going out in public.  Both my roommate Bailey and Morgan think it's really cool. Comment down below. I feel like I'm like being evil. Comment in the secret Facebook group. Quinton, I'm really grateful for you. You're really an angel. But matching hoodies or no. Would you do it? Have you done it? For someone who's never been in the same Facebook group, you really love it there. I know. I pitch it a lot because I just want to be in it, but it's okay. I understand. It's a community of strong women. It's okay. Okay. So Kenzie gave me the honor of hanging the first ornament. Oh man, where should I put it? Where should we hang it? I have to watch. There's a big gap here. I feel like. I feel like a little bit of, a little bit of, yeah. Oh no, a little higher. Right there? Yeah. That's the first ornament. The first ornament. Great. Wow. Oh wait, we forgot the ornament with Morgan. Kenzie's hanging Morgan's ornament. No. And it's down. It's down. We got the bad luck Christmas right there. Ornament down. That one's not going up. This thing, you picked the one brand stuff. Was it all the way down? Like it was like this. There was a big gap. Okay, okay, okay. So So technically this isn't the first one now because that one's the one that, it's like the Hunger Games, but for ornaments. This one made it. You know what I mean? Huh? Huh? If you knew about Make It Merry. Hunger Games, but make it Christmas. All right, so the tree is done. I've definitely done better as far as Christmas decor, but this is our tree for the year. So Merry Christmas everyone. Quinton really killed it today. Christmas in July. Love the hoodie available December 1st everyone. And then our little cute corner over here. So cute. We have our hot chocolate, Christmas movies, all of that. You know, it's great. Morgan brought this very thoughtful mug, this coffee mug in honor of the peppermint cold brew. Yeah, the good work we've been doing. Okay, the good work that Morgan did that I just am riding off of essentially. So, oh there we go. Do you want to put the last one on? It would be an honor. Morgan will be, I wish we could put it up. Let's see here. Well, look at how it's full. Oh, maybe there's some space if we put it on. But also. Oh, tip top. Sure. Yep. Wow. You know what I actually like it up there. Take back when you see that eye roll, Quinton. I didn't mean it. He doesn't watch the logs anyways. Oh, wow. Cute. That's so cute. Good morning today. I haven't done my makeup yet, but I'm not going to wear makeup today. We have class, but it's this like event thing that we're like interning, like serving for, which will be cool. So our attire's business casual. Couldn't go to Pilates this morning because I had to come dressed nice. So really upset about that because I literally never, ever, ever, ever miss. So it's fine. It really bothers me. But anyways, this is from for version 1. Dang, I think it's from Vasigal. These boots are Amazon. But yeah, this is my outfit. I have a jacket in my car and I'm going to head out. It's like 6am. I'm trying my whole getting there really early to Starbucks to dodge as much traffic as possible. So we will see how that works. It's currently 7.30. I'm at Starbucks. I'm eating breakfast sandwich. My cold brew. God bless. Hey, everyone. Happy Wednesday. I'm at Starbucks between 20 now. I've been here for quite some time. Oh, great. OMG, they see an extra pair. It's class tonight. And then after that, I have to go home and the make-up's coming for Nevada. And then I have the Princess Polly thing today. Oh, I'm at Starbucks. Clinton's here taking my car during the day, which is very convenient for me, actually. Like, yes, I'm giving you my car today, but like, I don't have to park. It's really awful. Have my coffee. I got Erica's coffee for class. Clinton has his coffee. But it looks sweet green cold brew. The classic. So got a lot of stuff done actually in the hour and a half that I was here. So I'm feeling pretty good. All right, everyone. I'm just then refilming the clip because didn't like how it looked. But I'm wearing the same jacket that I have been wearing. I've just been getting so much use out of it and I have so much outerwear. So I try to not like re-wear all the time so I can, you know, get used to other things. But I bought this and like, I didn't even realize how much I was going to wear it. I didn't even buy it. I got, I picked it out for Princess Polly, but I'm obsessed with it. And I have a discount code Kinsey loves. You can get it for 20% off on Princess Polly. If you guys go to my Princess Polly haul, it's linked there. Anyways, um, yeah, we're on our way. Well, I'm on my way to class and then Quinn's is going to take my car for me. Such a great life. It's a great, great, great life. I love your hoodie. It's the best. It's just really great. He's literally the softest thing. He's literally going to live in that like every single day. So you're not going to take it off. So it's great. All right, everyone. Just kidding. I'm wearing this oversized leather jacket. I haven't worn this in a second. It's just great. Just got out of class and got home, guys. Look at how that corner is just funny. And the tree is done. I don't even know if I, I don't remember what I vlogged last night. This is what it looks like. Oh, so beautiful. I just ordered caviar. So I have like a late lunch tonight. I actually have friends giving with Princess Polly. Sorry. It's so dark in here guys. It's currently like four. I think we're going to, I'm going to watch Quinton is here because he had to pick me up. I have like an hour and 10 minutes until I need to start getting ready. So I think we're going to watch this week's episode of This Is Us. As always, I will say, dang it. I don't know what episode we're on. I don't remember, but the season has really picked up. That is my favorite show in the entire world. Oh my gosh. Imagine if I had someone from This Is Us on my podcast. That's what I should do. But yeah, I just like freaking love that show. So we're going to watch that and have some hot chocolate.  Today in class, we just did some like staff divos and then there was an event. So we're just kind of helping with that. And I just did homework in a room pretty much for like four or five hours. School is really killing me this session kind of this one assignment in particular. It's like a simulation assignment. If any of you guys have had to do those, it's really awful. This is just so funny. Aw, did you make hot chocolate again? Thank you. Wow, it's really cold out guys and gloomy. So it's my really ideal weather. I'm actually getting excited for friends giving tonight. I have not been the most social person this year. So honestly, I don't really live my house, but I think it'll be good for me. You know? I agree. Quinton has plans with the boys. Movie night with the bros. He makes plans when I have plans, you know? So cute. It's true. Aw, cocoa. Did you make yourself hot chocolate? No, I'm not feeling hot chocolate right now. Oh, I think so. Oh, cocoa. All right, guys. Oh, nope. This is, I'm finally ready. It's like 6.15. I'm about to head off to a princess poly friends giving. Okay, so the dress. Oh, this is not great lighting. This dress is the spaghetti shop dress that I showed in my princess poly haul. I have this turtleneck that I've had for forever. It's from Paxon. It's actually the Canone Kylie line. I've literally had it for like four or five years over the new boots. And then I'm gonna wear, you guys guessed it, my favorite princess poly coat. I had another coat that I was gonna wear, but it doesn't really look as good with this outfit. And I just know that I'm gonna love my other outfit. But I know I feel like my Thanksgiving, like I'm not like a very big, like Thanksgiving color person. And I feel like this is not that festive. Even though like when I wear the coat, it's super cute because you bind it up and it just looks like I'm wearing over the new boots with like, you know, it's a cute look, but it's just not very Christmas or Thanksgiving. I mean, so that's fine. I cut my hair into my makeup in like 15 minutes. And I'm about to head out to friends giving, which I'm really excited for. I don't know anyone who's going. I know that summer is going. I texted her today. That's pretty much all I know. So we'll see how it goes. All right, guys, I am like actually dumb. So I thought this entire week that this event was downtown. It's not. It's at the Westfield Century City Mall, which is like my favorite place as we know. I looked even further into this as I'm almost there. And it's literally at the Eataly rooftop bar. Should have known. So, oh my gosh, that means it's going to be outside. I'm going to need hot chocolate or something. It's very cold in Los Angeles. It's a whopping 54 degrees. That's very cold for me. I love it, but it's cold. So anyways, I'm heading off. It's just at Eataly. So I actually know where I'm going. And yeah, here we are, people. Okay. I know I copied you. Summer's here. She was vlogging. So I was like, oh, I'll do that too. But this is cute. Still listening to Summer Walker. The event was great. The event was great. There are people who are driving. I feel like all my clips are in my car. I actually did know a lot of people there. So it ended up working out, but I also met some new people. And yeah, I feel like I just like am such a homebody. It's like not even funny. But they gave me this goodie bag and staff from Princess Polly is like my girl. And they were all like stuff says hi. And I was like, so cute. So I'll show you guys. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I need a new mascara. Roller Lash. I was editing this vlog guys. The mascara that I said reminded me of the one I was using earlier in this vlog. The Drybar Cosmetics one is the Roller Lash. And I realized that when I was editing it, I love this one. 24 hour brow setter. I need new brow stuff. Oh my gosh. Hey, Kendi. Thank you for joining us on a friend's giveaway. Sorry, Steph couldn't be here tonight, but she's watching your hobby thread and skipping. That's so cute. There's some jewelry in here that I will also go through at my house. Oh, there's more stuff. What the heck? Oh my gosh. Good morning, everyone. This is so loud. Okay. So I just went to my 7am Pilates class. It was so great. It is colder in LA finally.  So yeah, I'm really in a great mood last night. It was super fun. I got home, went to bed, came to Pilates. Now I'm off to class. Today we have chapel and then we have tracks. We work on like creative tracks and like teams and stuff. This lighting is a little weird. I'm wearing, I love you so much merch. Again, I'm wearing just like a full black sweatsuit. It's just like so comfy. I had to drive another 25 minutes to class right now, which is super fun. I need to be there 9.45. Right now my ETA is 8.51. So I'm going to stop at your breakfast somewhere and then I'm just going to go early and get some work done in the office, the office. The new one is so awesome. I barely like showed you guys a clip but you guys will see it in vlogs, I'm sure. Just like a little bit. I really don't vlog much at class or at school just because it's like not, I don't know, you know, whatever. But yeah, I need to make a video live for Princess Polly actually. My haul, I'm going to do that right now while I'm thinking about it. And then yeah, I need breakfast.  Today is a fun day. It's just you and me guys. I'm going to go to class. Then I need to get my nails done and then I need to go home and crank out a lot of work, like a lot of editing, a lot of schoolwork, just like getting everything done.  Wow, free parking, God bless. I'm literally in Beverly Hills now. This is my drive to school. It's a hard life everyone. I got my cold brew with peppermint cold brew that I need to stop getting soon because I just don't drink unhealthy drinks and then I just got some oatmeal. I'm pretty much on rodeo drive currently. I was going to drive further for a drive through, but I humbled myself and I said no. So instead I went to Starbucks and rodeo. Really humbling, you know? Anyways, I'm listening to how I built this podcast with Jen from Away. It's pretty good. I just don't like when podcasts are like overly structured and stuff. Like I like them to, I want to learn when I listen to podcasts, but I like them to be more conversational and not like whatever. But I still like how I built this. It's NPR, but I personally just like more conversational podcasts. Anyways, listening to that and now I'm heading to class. Alright guys, so sorry that so much of this vlog has been in the car. I just left class. It was a really great and productive day. I actually got so much of like my to-dos done and I realized that a lot of the work that I thought I could do tonight for homework, I actually can't do because it's a simulation, so I have to like wait. It's so annoying, but I still have some editing to do. I'm actually getting my nails done right now, which is such an annoying thing to be like, well I have to do. It is annoying. My nails look awful and I have a murder shoot tomorrow, so I need to do that. I'm going to listen to stuff. I'm going to take some phone calls, I think. I just need to somehow fill this up.  It's so annoying, so I listen to podcasts or whatever. But I actually have a last minute event tonight that popped up. That's just like my pastor speaking somewhere, so like I'm going to go. So it's currently 3.30, just got home. My drive home was only 40 minutes. I got to Luquas a little bit early. I'm going to get my nails done right now and then head home, get ready for tonight, edit, do all that stuff. We're having a really big issue with my house right now because our sink is messed up. And yeah, it's very, very, my landlords are just like really overwhelming and I'm like, okay, just send a plumber, you know. Okay guys, I'm home. It's later now. I got my nails done finally and then I was just answering emails and just doing random stuff. But I thought I should get to my little unboxing because I had some packages piled up. So this is from last night. I didn't really show you guys. Oh my gosh, what is this? Cookie.  Oh wait, is this a highlighter? Yes, golden pearl highlighter. Oh my gosh, it's so pretty. I love that. And then Hula bronzer. We were actually talking about that last night. There's nothing better than a good Hula bronzer. Roller Lash. I love that supernatural looking mascara. I have not tried the 24 hour brow center, but I'm really excited. And then just jewelry, like that lock necklace is so pretty. These hoops are amazing. This is so pretty, so excited. And then I also actually ordered Lauren's little, it's not like a collaboration. I mean, it kind of is with Sonia Dakar. Dakar, I gave it to you say it. These are her favorite products. And I've been meaning to try it out since she's been like recommending it to me. I talked to her about it and she's like so obsessed. So I made you try it out. And then I was like, oh my gosh, got to support your girl Lauren. So yeah, I'm really excited. This is gonna be my new skincare routine. I'm just going like right at it. I'm like actually so pumped for it. So very excited. And then Millie Bobby Brown with her makeup line came out with a new mascara, which I'm very excited for because I have been trying out new mascaras all week long. So apparently that's what this vlog is about. Let's do this packaging. Actually looks right. Oh my gosh, okay. Oh my gosh. See, I really like the Florence packaging. I think they like killed it. It's really clean, simple. Love that. Also, I work with Revolve. So I got my picks from Revolve this month, a red long sleeve shirt, blue slats. These are super dumb. My first pair of girlfriend denim, which I am going to try on tonight and possibly wear, which I'm excited for. And then I just got like two nicer holiday crazy tops for the holiday season. This is the tank top. So it's like perfect for LA holiday because it's not like, you know, actually cold out or anything like that. Like it's maybe 50 degrees, which like to a lot of you guys watching is probably embarrassing because that's like warm to you guys. But I'm going to go clean this up. I have some more stuff that came in that I guess that I will not be showing you guys. So very excited. Need to go charge my phone and get ready for tonight. All right, so I just got ready in like five minutes. I'm trying to show you guys my outfit this way because the lighting the other way is too bad. It's too dark. This is the shirt that I just got from Revolve. It's super cute. I think these are the most flattering. My Levi's, I honestly need a new pair. They're too big. This big black leather jacket is from Princess Polly. My normal Jennifer Fisher hoops. This necklace I just showed you guys in the hall as well. My nails, everything's new. And yeah, this is basically what I'm wearing tonight update on this highlight. So I just put it on and obviously like I don't have any like face makeup on or anything. I just have my skin, you know, anyways.  So this highlight I have on right now and it's basically just like a little bit more natural looking. My skin looks worse on camera right here than it does even in person. Weird. But I like this. It's just more natural. And yeah, I need to get new rings. Comment down below where you guys get your rings. But yeah, I don't know what I can't help it. I need dinner. So I don't know I'm gonna head out already and just pick up food on the way or what. But I'm very hungry. Good morning everyone. It is currently 7am. No, it's not. It's like 6. I have Pilates at 7. So I'm about to head off to the studio. I'm actually going to the front this morning. I'm really excited. This week I've been waking up at like 5.40 every week. And yeah, it's really been something. And tomorrow I have to do the same. And I literally don't stop actually. No, I yeah. Great. But I actually really love waking up early. And I'm like kind of used to like if you would have told me that 5.40 would be like my normal I would not have like ever believed you because like I am a morning person, but I'm not that morning person. So anyways, again, my biggest tip, like I said, I'm gonna do this vlog. I'll give you a try to wake up early is to have things booked. The only morning I didn't was Wednesday, but I had to get over to get work done to avoid traffic. So yeah, that is really, I don't know. But it's just really great. And I get my work out of the way and I'm like on the go and ready. And I just feel like I get a lot more done, which gives me more time to rest and relax. So yeah, I'll show you guys what I'm wearing. This side is from Lulu. It's the line. I don't know if this is the energy bra or what. I will have it linked though. Really comfortable. But I'm really cold. So I'm going to throw my jacket on and that out. I'm out of Pilates and I'm getting ready in my car as I do every day. But update on this brow gel that I got from Benefit that I showed you guys yesterday. This is the best brow gel I have ever used. It's clear, which I really prefer. The one before was a little bit too dark for me. I like clear and it's just like, actually, I mean, yeah, I just got my brows done, but like I promise you, this is the best job brow gel I've ever used. It's clear, really just amazing. I guess I'll update you on how they stay throughout the day. But like application, everything, this is the best one. And I never throw things into this everyday bag immediately. But for some reason I just did last night and here we go. I'm a huge, huge fan. Okay, so it's like 8.30. I'm gonna walk over right now to Blue Bottle. This is my favorite Blue Bottle on Robertson. Get some breakfast and get like an hour of editing done before my studio session, which is just on the street. Just so I can be, or I need to get a video up and done. So that's what I'm doing. Just recorded. Okay, we're going to lunchtime. All right, guys, we just finished our recording. I'm paying for a meter parking right now.  I have no shame. I'm meeting Peyton at Zink. It took me 10 years to find parking. I'm currently on my way and we're getting lunch. All right, guys, I'm home. I am so excited. I had no idea. I don't even know how I really got on their PR list, but Blissy just sent me a package. And this is Coco.  It's like a silk pillowcase, which I've been wanting Coco seriously. I've been wanting a silk pillowcase for forever. It's better for your skin, better for your hair, which are two things that I am just like very passionate about now. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. I look I've been wanting one of these. I don't even know how they definitely didn't know. But I'll let you guys know how this works. I want more because I need more. I need to replace my pillows and stuff. But oh my gosh, I'm so excited for this. Anyways, I'm going to shower. I have to shoot my merch in two hours. So I need to shower and fully get ready, which means drying my hair, which is like awful. So that's what we're going to do. It is a few hours later. I'm currently shooting merch. I already shot the crew neck and the hoodie. I'm about to shoot this hoodie with a bright pink instead of a neon green.  And guys, I'm not kidding. I'm not just saying this because it's my wretched action. The most comfortable thing ever. These are dropping November 1st. You guys are getting a little sneak peek. But we're taking some photos, which is great. But I have to cut out and shoot the rest. I had like two things left. And then we're done. Guys, look who I'm back with. We were actually a hot plotty together this morning. How was it? Amazing. I'm still in my workout. We just shot my merch. Jasmine has, oh my gosh, there's something wrong with this lens. It's really dirty. I'm just realizing this as I'm looking at it. This is what I get for throwing it in my bag today. But we just shot the merch, which is very exciting. And oh, it's $441. We did that in 30 minutes. I don't even think it was that long. We got lots of great photos. Check Jasmine out on Instagram. Great photos. So done for today. All right, guys. I'm leaving the shoe right now. I hope you guys enjoyed this week's vlog. I'm off to hang with some friends tonight. I have got today, guys, so many last minute deals. I literally emailed a company that I really, really wanted to work with. And literally within an hour, I had a closed deal for Sunday. Got stuff that you guys know and even this doesn't happen. So anyways, got a lot of work done. Got a lot of editing done. Have one more video to edit. And then that's only vlogmas videos from here. But I hope you guys enjoyed. Check out the merch. This is one of them. It's going to be out December 1st, the new drop, which I'm really excited for. So love you guys so much. And I'll talk to you guys soon. Bye. Oh my gosh, the next vlog is the start of vlogmas. I'm so excited.


Hello. My name is Justin Finiani, and I work on the Polymer team here at Chrome. And I'm going to talk about HTML templating and give you an early look at a new library and approach to client-side templating that we're very, very excited about on the Polymer team. First, I want to talk a little bit about why templates are so important. Templates are absolutely critical for today's web. Just about every single site that you visit or build uses some form of a template system. Whether you're building a pure content site that might use server-side templates or rich dynamic applications that are rendered completely client-side, one of the primary jobs of your code is building the user interface. And on the web, our user interfaces are built with HTML, a declarative document format. And because so much of what we're doing is taking data and transforming it and displaying it, this HTML is usually generated from data. It's not completely static. Some of it is, like I covered here in green. And some parts are dynamic, like I have in pink. And merging and managing this static and dynamic content, it can lead to some really nasty code that's hard to maintain. Like our old friend, manual DOM manipulation, where we had to create elements individually, build them together into a tree, maybe hold on to some nodes that were going to be dynamically updated later on. And this is really difficult to maintain. And so templates can help save us from this fate. Templates let us express our intent in a declarative format that's much closer to the output. And they let us mix static and dynamic content via expressions. So this is easier to write, easier to read, and easier to get correct. So this is great, right? Templates solve all of our problems. Well, not quite, especially because writing a good template system is incredibly hard. Template systems have some very challenging requirements to meet. And they sometimes have to make very difficult trade-offs. So first, template systems have to deliver a great developer experience, because that's maybe their main reason for existing. So this includes things like how templates look. Developers really like templates to look like their output. Even JSX has shown the popularity of using markup for templates, because it brings markup directly into JavaScript. It also includes how templates are structured. Most developers seem to like their templates to be pretty declarative. But they can't be completely declarative sometimes, because often you do need to do some interesting logic to build up your user interface. It also includes how expressions and control flow work. Do your developers need to learn a new expression language? And it includes tools. Do you need a compiler? If the template has its own file type or syntax, is that widely supported across editors? So even just getting developer experience right is very, very difficult. But as important as developer experience is, it's not nearly enough. Templates have to be fast. They have to boot fast, because they're on the critical rendering path for your application. The expectation for great websites is really, really high these days. Study after study shows that sites lose real users and real money for every extra millisecond it takes to render. And if that's not enough, template systems also have to update fast. Single-page apps, especially really rich content creation apps, they need to respond to user input and data changes as quickly as possible. And this goal is often intentioned with booting fast, because one way to update fast is to do computation ahead of time to try to track what data is associated with what notes. In complex template systems that do that, they're often larger too, which can increase the page load time. And then finally, template systems end up being this bridge between the worlds of JavaScript and HTML, which can be challenging as well. So JavaScript is where your application logic, more importantly, your data lives. And HTML is what we need to build. It's the stuff that the template system manages. And it's the natural way in which a lot of developers think about their UI. So typically, if you write your templates in JavaScript on the JavaScript side, they either don't look a lot like your output, or maybe the code might be too imperative and hard to follow. And if you write them on the HTML side, you might not have direct access to your data. The template system has to pipe that in for you. Or you may lose or have to recreate many of the features of JavaScript, like expressions. So altogether, these are some really, really challenging requirements with a lot of tough choices in unexplored territory. So it's no wonder that there are a lot of many different opinions and approaches out there as framework and library authors explore all the possibilities and the limits here. And this is actually really great, because we get to try out a lot of different things and see what works best. And if you are building a new template system, this is a really, really great set of targets to aim for, which brings me to this new library that we're working on on the Polymer team called Lit HTML, which aims to do as well as possible on all these criteria. So for a little background, like Taylor mentioned, a few months ago, Polymer announced that we're moving away from HTML imports, where Polymer users typically write their templates. Two JavaScript modules, and this necessarily means that we're crossing this JavaScript HTML bridge over to the JavaScript side. But for backwards compatibility, we're doing the simplest thing possible with the templates. We're taking the templates that were written in HTML, and we're just moving them into a JavaScript string inside of your component definition. So this is really easy to migrate to, but it's a little bit less satisfying than we'd like. So we started to think about how to make something a little more satisfying, especially now that we're writing our templates inside of JavaScript. We want to be native inside of JavaScript. And that's how the experiment that became Lit HTML was born. So what is Lit HTML? Well, primarily, it's a library that lets you write HTML templates in JavaScript that both boot and update fast. And it's a very, very small library. And it has a simple, easy to use, but extensible API. So let's look at how we write HTML templates in JavaScript. So this here is a Lit HTML template. And we're using a feature of ES6 called Tag Template Literals, which, in my opinion, is one of the most unsung features of ES6. So this looks like a string, except for that we use backticks instead of quotes. And it can span multiple lines. And it can have JavaScript expressions embedded directly into it. Now, this is really useful for building strings from data. But in addition, another really powerful feature is that template strings, template literals, can be tagged. And a tag is a special function that processes the template literal and the values from expressions. And it can customize what's done with those values. And the tag goes right in front of the template literal, like a prefix. And it's interesting. It doesn't have to return a string. It can return any type of value that it wants. And Lit HTML takes advantage of this to enable really fast updates. OK, so here's our lit template. And the expression creates a JavaScript value. So to use it, we're going to have to do something with this value. Like maybe put it into a variable here. But first, I want to talk about exactly what type of value this is. So this looks like it might be a string. But I mentioned that strings would be not that useful, maybe. They're not that great for using with inner HTML. Because if you produce inner HTML, you're going to have to blow away all your DOM when you produce some new inner HTML for a component. So maybe they could return some DOM. But we have kind of the same problem there. We don't want to rebuild an entire DOM tree every time we render or blow away the DOM for our component. So instead, what we do is we return something called a template result. And a template result is an object that contains a reference to the template that we want to render and the data that we want to render it with. So it's the instructions for how to render some DOM, not the DOM itself. To actually render the template result, we pass it to HTML's render function, and then give it a DOM container to render to. And the first time, this is going to render the complete template. And then after that, it's just going to update what's already there. And I keep talking about updating, but this snippet doesn't really show how to do that. A more realistic and useful way to use the HTML is to write a function that takes some data and then returns a template result like this. So here, we've moved the tag template literal into a function that takes some data, passes that data to the template, and returns the result. And once we have that function, we can call it over and over with new data. And then we can render it efficiently to the same container. So for those of you familiar with React, you might notice some similarities here. And there are some as well as some major differences. So first, this definitely looks a little bit like JSX, but it's standard JavaScript syntax. And templates being JavaScript expressions and JavaScript values are going to lead to some of the same patterns that you commonly see in building up JSX templates. But under the hood, the systems are quite different. In particular, HTML doesn't have any VDOM or doesn't do any diffing. But besides the similarities and syntax, there's another similarity in philosophy I want to talk about. And that's the idea of building UIs a pure function of state. For any given state that your application or component is in, it should always render the same output, the same UI. And to build your UI, you write a collection of functions that transform state into a description of the UI, VDOM for React and template results for lid HTML. And then the library takes care of making the UI reflect that description. So this is one way in which they are very similar. OK, so now let's take a look at some examples of the things you can do with the HTML, starting with the types of values that you can pass into templates. So first is simple text content. Anything that you can turn into a string will just be rendered in place. And this works for attributes as well. And since we're using the full power of JavaScript in our templates, you can put JavaScript expressions in line with the template. So let's say you have a page index. And because we're computer scientists, that index is going to be zero base. But our users are probably not computer scientists. And they expect their pages to start at page 1, not page 0. So you can simply add a 1 in line with your expression here. And this is a great place to do that kind of template and display logic. You can also pass a template result to an expression in order to compose templates with nested templates. So here we have a header template that we can include into another template. And we can actually include this in many other templates as well. And then when HTML renders the containing template, it'll render both of them together in place. And because template results are values, we can compute them using the full power of JavaScript, like using a regular if statement here to display a different message based on whether a user is logged in or not. The HTML supports arrays and iterables. So if you pass an array of data, it'll render each item in that array in place. And this is really powerful when combined with nested templates. So we can use JavaScript's arrays map function here to transform a list of data into a list of templates. And then when it renders the containing template there, it'll render your UI with a list in it right in place. It also supports nodes as a data type that you can pass to a template. So sometimes the easiest or fastest way to create some DOM is actually by hand.  Well, your template library shouldn't get in the way here and HTML doesn't. So you can pass a DOM node into any expression and Lit will just render it there for you. And we support SVG as well. Since SVG elements have a different namespace than HTML elements, you can use a special SVG template tag to create partial SVG templates to build up dynamic graphics very easily. And this is very similar to D3 maybe, but in a declarative kind of way. And we support promises too. So for instance, you can fetch some data off the network and put the promise of that data into your template. And when the promise resolves, the template will update and render the results right into your template. So putting all this together, you can build some really interesting and complex templates by using the full power of JavaScript. And the HTML doesn't try to dictate a style to you either. If you prefer functional programming, where you want to use map and reduce to build up your templates, you can do that. If you're doing imperative programming and you want to build up templates by bit using statements, you can do that. Or if you want to follow a more declarative style, where you have a single template expression and compose it out of other templates, you can do that too. So you can choose whatever style you want. OK, next let's look at how HTML boots and updates fast. So the first thing that we use is we try to use the platform as much as possible. And we use the HTML template element under the hood. And for those of you who haven't used HTML templates yet, they're a really, really useful part of the web component specs. And a template is basically a container of inert DOM. And here inert means that inside of a template, scripts don't run, styles don't apply, images don't load, and so on. And templates can be really efficiently cloned to create new DOM. So typically, that would look something like this. You write your template in HTML.  But we don't usually want to repeatedly clone a static chunk of DOM. Usually, we want to replace some of it with our data. And this is exactly what HTML lets you do. In fact, you could describe the HTML as a JavaScript syntax for writing efficiently updatable HTML templates. And it works like this. So here's a little HTML template. And lit takes your template, and it replaces all of the expressions in the template with these generic placeholders. And so we get a string of HTML. And then it uses that string to create an actual HTML template element with the placeholders inside of it. And then once we get that element back, we can walk the element and find the dynamic parts, find these replaceholders, and remember where they are. And we create these things we call parts. And these parts have an API that lets us set the value after we've created some content. So we remove the placeholders. And now we have a template without our expressions that we can clone over and over again to create DOM that's just waiting to accept data. And because we've remembered the locations of these dynamic parts, we can go back after the fact. And we can insert data into the parts, into the placeholders. And because we remember the locations of the dynamic parts, we can then really efficiently go back and do updates by adding new data directly to those parts. So another thing that helps make HTML fast is template literals. So they have a couple of nice properties. One of them is that the literals that are passed to a template tag are the same for every call to that tag with the same template. So this lets us do one-time setup work like that HTML template preparation I just showed you. So this is a little bit subtle, but really important. So let's go into a little more detail here. So I mentioned before how a template tag is just a function. Well, the first argument to that function is an array of all the literal parts of your template literal. And if you evaluate a specific template tagged literal multiple times, the tag is called multiple times. But that first argument is the same every single time. So this means we can use it as a cache key to look up our prepared template. So all that work of transforming a JavaScript template to an HTML template and remembering the dynamic parts, that's only ever done once per template, no matter how many times you call it or no matter how many places in your application you use that template. So this is really, really important to how HTML works. And to visualize this, let's consider a really simple template here that we call say hi. We're going to call it once to say hi to Amy, and then we're going to call it again to say hi to Alex. And both times we return a template result that contains a reference to the template and the values. And these templates, they're the same. And they're not just equal the same, they're actually identically the same object. So they share this template in here and they only have to compute it once for your entire application. OK, another property of template literals that we use is that they naturally separate static and dynamic content. So let's look at why that's important. Every HTML template system is responsible for creating and maintaining a tree of DOM nodes. But only some of those nodes are ever updated after they're created. Templates have the structure that I talk about, the separation between static nodes, the blue ones here, and dynamic nodes, the green ones. And then we have the updates. Not every dynamic part changes all at once. Sometimes you just update one value. And so when thinking about the rendering costs of a template engine, I find it useful to think about these two numbers here. One is how many nodes are updated when you make some changes. And two is what is the cost per node? And if we look at something like Polymer that has a very advanced template system, it's able to analyze the relationship between your data and the DOM. And it knows exactly what DOM changes when certain data changes. And so Polymer can scale not with a number of nodes in the template or even the number of expressions, but the number of changes that you have. And if we look at something like VDOM, it takes a very, very different approach. And with Virtual DOM, you re-render your entire virtual tree for your whole template every single time. So VDOM scales with the number of nodes in your template. But it tries to make up for this by driving the cost per node down as low as possible. And so with LitHTML, we're trying to sit somewhere in the middle here and get the best of both worlds. So LitHTML never has to look at or compare the static parts of a template after the initial render. It just leaves them alone. So it just looks at the expressions. So it scales with the number of expressions in your template. But then it tries to drive that cost down as low as possible because expressions are just JavaScript values. And it's mostly just forwarding that value. And if the value doesn't change, it doesn't update the DOM at all. And all of this falls out quite naturally from using template literals. Because we can tell exactly what parts are dynamic and might change and what parts are static and never change. And we don't even have to do any work to figure this out. The syntax of JavaScript just does it for us. Next, we're fast because we take advantage of the fast built-in parsing of the browser. For parsing strings, which make up the biggest part of template literals, a parsing strings in JavaScript is roughly three times faster than parsing generic JavaScript expressions. The VM just has to churn through characters until it gets to the end of the string or the beginning of an expression. And then we take that HTML content of a template and we pass it to the highly optimized C++ written HTML parser. And so this gives us fast parsing speed, and it also means we don't have to ship any parsing logic with our template system, which means that HTML is very small. It's really small. The entire core library fits on a single slide here. At 18 point font, with a little bit of room to spare at the bottom. The HTML is roughly two kilobytes in size. And we're working really, really hard to keep it that way. OK, so here's a lot of things that should theoretically make the HTML fast. JavaScript template literals, HTML template elements, not doing any diffing, being really small. Does it really add up to speed? Well, it is still pretty early in the project. So we haven't released 1.0 and we haven't done all the optimizations we want to. But we have started to port some benchmarks. And one of the first ones that we've done is called the Marko search results benchmark. So eBay released their internal UI framework a little while ago. And they included some nice benchmarks implemented across many frameworks, like Preact, React, View, and Inferno. And so I implemented this benchmark using the full vision for HTML, which is combining HTML with web components, using custom elements, and Shadow DOM. And these are very, very preliminary results I'm about to show you. But they still need to be double and triple checked. But so far, it's looking pretty good. So here we go. We've run it against these other frameworks here. And HTML is amongst the fastest in this benchmark. Here, higher is better. These are operations per second. And this benchmark also tracks the bundle size for each benchmark, for each framework that implemented. And here, lower is better. And HTML is also the smallest of the frameworks in there, coming in at just over 6K for the whole benchmark. So that's not the library. That's the library plus the benchmark components, including all of their templates, a size that's smaller than most complete libraries on their own. So it's really early, but I think we're off to a pretty good start. We've also started to port the DBMON benchmark, where HTML is also competitive with the fastest frameworks there. And it also shows really good stability across a wide range of update workloads. So at least our assumptions about how to make something simple and fast appear to be on the right track. And we still have a lot more optimizations to do. So next, let's look at the API and what makes it easy to use and extensible. So in earlier examples, you already saw most of the HTML API. It's really just the HTML template tag in the render function. Those alone get you a lot of functionality with the types of values that it supports. But HTML is also trying to be as small and as unopinionated as possible.  So let us extensible in two different ways. The first is what we call directives. So I showed you how a value can go into an expression there. And I showed you how every expression creates a part where there's an API for the part that you can call. Well, this is what a directive looks like. A directive is basically a function that gets invoked instead of the value being passed through. And you mark something as a directive by using this directive kind of decorator function here. And that tells the HTML to call the value instead of passing it along. And what it calls is a function that takes an argument, which is the part. And now that you have the part, you can do whatever you want with it. But the part really only has one API, which is set value. So this is the simplest directive you can write. It's kind of a pass-through directive that just takes a value and puts it into the part like you would have with a simple expression. So that's how easy directives can be to write. Let's look at a real example. One of the built-in directives is called until. So I talked about how promises, if you pass them to a value, it waits for the promise to resolve and then writes the resolve value to the template. Well, sometimes you're going to want to have some placeholder text that shows up before the promise resolves. And so until that you do that, you give it both the promise and some placeholder, some fallback content. And it displays the placeholder first and then displays the promise when it resolves. And it's implemented in only two lines of code. So first, here's the example of using it. We get the response from the network as a promise. And instead of passing it directly to the template, we call this until directive with the promise here and then some placeholder, this loading text over here. And then here's the implementation of until. So it's a function that takes some arguments there and returns a directive. And that directive only has two real lines of code in it. The first one immediately sets the content to the placeholder, so that shows up right away. And then the next one goes ahead and right afterwards sets the value to the promise. And this is going to let it overwrite the placeholder when the promise resolves. So that's a really simple example, but a real world example. And your directives can be as complex as you need to handle custom logic inside of there. And so the other thing that you can do to extend the HTML is to use what we call custom parts. These are ways that you can customize how values are handled across an entire template, including the templates that are nested inside of them. So we've packaged together a couple of custom parts into an optional library that we call lit extended, which gives you a little bit of sugar for your templates. First, it sets properties by default instead of attributes. And then it lets you fall back with an explicit syntax to set attributes if you want. And it also adds declarative event handlers. And the entire lit extended library weighs in at only 540 bytes gzipped. So here's a lit extended template. It looks just like a lit HTML template. First, we have a property binding. And I want you to notice something here is that I used mixed case property name there. Even though lit templates are HTML, because we write them in JavaScript, we can actually go back into the JavaScript value and pull out the original case sensitive property name so that we don't have to do any lowercase to uppercase mapping here. We can set any property name we want. And then if you want to set an attribute, you can add a dollar sign after the name. And here we're going to set the class attribute, not the class property. And finally, if you want to add an event handler, you can just prefix the name with on dash and it will take the rest of the name there and add an event handler for you. Okay, so one thing that helps make lit simple is that we have a very focused API. Lit HTML is doing templating only. It's not a framework. It doesn't have any component model. And we actually designed this to complement web components very well. So to show you what that's like, I wrote a little web component mix in here that adds some lit rendering behavior to HTML element. And the way this works is that your class that you write is going to implement a render function that returns a template result, a lit template. Kind of like React, actually. And then when you want to trigger a re-render, when you notice that something changed that you want to render, your element can call the invalidate method. And the invalidate method simply batches calls to lit's render function and then renders the result to the shadow root. And then here is a custom element using this mix in. So the first thing we do is we apply the mix in to our base class. And then we want to implement a property. So here I implement a property as a getter setter pair. This is something like Polymer will do automatically for you. But I wanted to show you something that wasn't magic. And so what we implement here is a setter that calls invalidate when the value changes. And that's going to enqueue a render of the element. And then finally, you implement a render function which returns on the HTML template. So this is how simple a custom element can be. And in the future, this is actually going to get even simpler. When JavaScript gets decorators or if you're already using decorators with Babel or TypeScript, we can use a decorator to automatically generate that getter setter pair for us. So this can be really, really simple and lightweight with a focused templating library like the HTML. I think a full featured base class that does some other things too might weigh in at less than 3K for the whole thing. That's including the HTML. So together, directives and custom parts, they let you craft kind of your own template system with the capabilities and opinions that you want. You're not stuck with our choices. So we hope that the HTML can do really well across a lot of different measures. Ease of use, using standard JavaScript syntax, speed size, expressiveness, extensibility. We really hope to do well on all of these different requirements that template systems have. So where are we today? We have browser support across the latest version of all major browsers and we're working on IE11 support, which should come very soon. We're also starting to get some great community contributions. People have made fixes and commits to lit itself and some people in Microsoft have made IDE plugins for VS Code and their language service that let you have syntax highlighting and code completion, hover over documentation and all the full intelligence features right inside of your HTML templates. So next up, like I said, we're gonna be working on benchmarks and optimization, IE11 support, we wanna get feedback from users, we'll show integration with web components, get some documentation finally written and then we're gonna work towards a 1.0 release. And we would really, really love for you to try it out and give us your feedback. The API is very simple, so we're not worried that the API is gonna change a lot but we wanna see what people do with it and how they like working with the system here. So you can install it off of MPM, just MPM install lit HTML. And if you wanna have, leave some feedback or find some issues, you can do it at our GitHub repository, it's the lit HTML repo in the Polymer Labs organization. All right, that doesn't, for me, so thank you very much. You can find me on Twitter here and ask questions or I'll be in the lounge and you can ask questions there too. All right, thanks a lot.


And now, Roma Wines, R-O-M-A, made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. Roma Wines presents... Suspense! Might Roma Wines bring you Mr. John Lund, a star of a plain case of murder? A suspense play produced, edited, and directed for Roma Wines by William Spear. Suspense! Radio's Outstanding Theatre of Thrills is presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines. That's R-O-M-A. Roma Wines. Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live. To your happiness in entertaining guests. To your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes, right now a glass full would be very pleasant, as Roma Wines bring you the young actor who has just made such an auspicious screen debut in the Paramount Picture to each his own. John Lund appears as Randy, with Kathy Lewis as Marion, in tonight's tale of... Suspense! How are you feeling now, Judson? Lousy. You the doctor? I tried. Who are those other two guys? They're from the District Attorney's office. I suppose I might have known. First thing I open my eyes, I'd see those vultures hovering around. You're supposed right, all right. Gonna tell us about it? Why should I? You have to keep the record straight and save us a lot of trouble. And you've got nothing to lose. How do you figure that?  Is that right, Doc? I'm afraid that's right. Okay. Take this down, Scotty. Gotcha. You can call it a plain case of murder. Spelled P-L-A-N-E. I make joke, get it? Very, very funny. I've been home three weeks when I finally broke down and called her. And she said to come on out. Her husband wouldn't be home. It's funny. I'd already met Dorothy, but I called Marion anyway.  Maybe it was what I'd been through. Stuck in one of those civilian concentration camps out in the Philippines for three long years. And all the time dreaming about Marion. Making up endless little scenes about how happy I was gonna be when it was all over. With Marion. Till it seemed that all I was living and fighting for was Marion. The whole war was just for Marion. And then to come back and find she's married to this other guy. Something like that'll do things to you no matter how good you are. And so, when she told me to come out, I went. Why?  As I already knew from everything I'd heard that she'd married the guy for his money.  I went up to the big front door and rang the bell. She must have seen me coming up to drive. Because there she was right away to let me in herself. My dream girl, Marion. Randy. Hello, Marion. Hello, Randy. You mind if I come in? Of course not. Come on in here. It's a little more private. What do we need to be private about? Well, I thought we'd like to have a little talk. Sure. Let's have a little talk. Oh, Randy, please don't be bitter. Don't you see I couldn't help it? Ed's such a wonderful person. I know you'll like him. I can see why you like him. No, no, Randy. It's nothing like that. I thought you were dead and then Ed came along and, well, we fell in love that so all a person can't help falling in love, can they? You never tried to find out how dead I was, though, did you? Oh, Randy, I did. I tried every way there was. I checked on that. There's no record that you ever tried. But I did. I swear I did. OK, skip it. It's really a lovely place you've got here. Yes, isn't it? You can see the property better from over here. Ed owns all this part of the valley. Clear over to those trees. You can see him up against the mountain. You see him? Uh-huh. What's he do with it all? Oh, nothing much. You see, Ed's real business is cattle. Of course, this isn't cattle country. He's visiting one of his cattle ranches now. Oh. He away quite a lot? Yes. Randy, tell me about you. I saw in the papers a big welcome they gave in. All you'd done out there, it must have been awful. Wasn't fun. Well, what are you doing now? Well, in a way, you know. A thing like that almost pays off. Pays off? Uh-huh. All that hero business. You know, I was out there for a commercial aircraft company. Selling private planes to sugar growers and gold miners and so on. Yes. Well, the first thing that happens is that the company makes me vice president in charge of sales, 75,000 a year. 75,000? Uh-huh. And then the movies want to do my life story. And they discover that I've got such great executive ability, they make me a part-time producer, another 50,000. Then, of course, a percentage of the picture and the story price itself will come to, oh, about another 250,000. Well, Randy. And then, through contacts in the aircraft business, I run into some guys in the oil game and that pays off. I don't know. I figure I'll be able to retire in three or four years with a cool million. Oh, make more, of course, if I wanted to stick to it. But why be a hog? Well, Randy, that's wonderful. I never dreamed. Right then and there I knew I had her. I don't know what it made me tell her all those lies to begin with, just for the satisfaction of watching her show her hand and jump at it, I guess. But now I knew I had her. And as she talked, as I saw that greedy gleam coming into her eyes, I began to know what I was going to do about it. Well, well, Randy Judson, a big, rich, famous man. I'm so happy for you, Randy. They're even talking about running me for governor. Yeah. Funny things fate does. Well, Marion, I've got to run along. Oh, Randy, must you? Yeah. There's a new field we think is coming in today. Not a million a year, if it does. Oh, all right. I'll walk you to the door. All right. Thanks. Well, goodbye, Marion. Randy. What?  You know I do, Marion. Randy's seeing you again. I'm afraid I made a terrible mistake. Yes, Marion. I'm afraid you have. I'm pretty sure after that that all I had to do was wait. There was some truth, and when I told her, about 2%. I had been a salesman for a commercial aircraft company, and I still was. And I had a little money, enough to look the part of the big executive when I was around Marion, anyway. And, of course, it had to be secret. Not only because of Dorothy and of Marion's husband, but because of what I had figured out for later. But as the weeks went by, I saw her all right. I saw a lot of her, and waited. And I didn't have to wait too long. Oh, Randy, Randy, I love you so much. I know you do, baby. Randy, what are we going to do? I don't know, Marion. Well, there must be something we can do. Divorce? Oh, he'd never give me a divorce. He'd know that, never. Yeah, it's just one of those things, I guess. Oh, Randy, I can't go on like this. Something's got to happen. Nothing's going into happen, Marion. It could. What could? Something, anything. Just so I could be free, and be with you. There's only one thing that would do us any good. Things like that do happen. If somebody makes them happen.  Oh, Randy, I know it's terrible. I know it's wicked to even think of such a thing. But you do. Yes. Oh, it's stopping you. Oh, I'm afraid, alone.  Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm afraid to help her, all right. Sure, I did. I planned it for her. First, there was the plane. That was going to do several things for us. Of course, my being an aircraft salesman made it easy. Marion suddenly became interested in aviation. She began reading about it, hanging around the airports. Then she started taking lessons. She learned fast, too, I'll say that for her. She soloed in six hours and had her license in ten. All this time, I stayed out of the picture and just waited. I went out with Dorothy once in a while. This was the build-up. It lasted about six weeks until I got her call and went out there. My name is Judson, Mr. Dunham. Oh, how do you do? I've certainly been hearing a lot about your product lately. Oh, by the way, this is my wife. Mrs. Dunham. How do you do, Mr. Judson? Oh, my, she really is a beauty. It's a two-place job, you see. Funny room in the fuse lodge for baggage. Uh-huh. 150 horsepower engine, variable prop. She'll cruise at nearly 150, and yet her landing speed isn't much more than 45. And, of course, she has flaps for low speed landing. Uh-huh. I'm really sincere when I say that you can't match her anywhere near in the price field. Well, uh, I don't know much about it, but if that's what Marion wants...  Well, that's the way we like to make a sale. How about a little spin? Oh, uh, I don't know... Oh, go on, Ed, you gotta begin sometime. Just around the field. Oh, by the way, you've got practically a perfect natural landing field here. Yeah, I have to pull up a hanger, I suppose. Ah, that won't run you much. Climb in. I'll wait right here for you, dear. There you are. You keep on the way, no, Marion. I will. Oh, by the way, before I take you up, here's a release you have to sign. Just for malady. There's three copies. One for me is the pilot, one for the company, and one for the Bureau of Civilian Aeronautics. Where do I sign? Oh, anywhere at the bottom there. Okay. That's fine. Thank you, Mr. Dunham. Despite of everything they tell you about reading anything you sign, sign the others without looking, particularly if he's nervous. The first two copies were just something I dreamed up, because there's no such release anyway. But the last was when he signed that. He signed his own death warrant. On Lund with Kathy Lewis in the Plain Case of Murder, a radio play by Robert L. Richards, Roma Wine's presentation tonight in Radio's Outstanding Theatre of Thrills, Suspense. For Roma Wines.

And now Roma wines bring back to our Hollywood soundstage John Lund as Randy Judson, Kathy Lewis as Marion Dunham in a plain case of murder, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. I can give no reason for what I am about to do, and I pray to heaven the reason will never come to light. But it is the only way. To my loving wife particularly, I know this will come as a great shock, but at least I can leave her amply provided for. Goodbye, and Edward Dunham. Uh-huh. You sure he is leaving your amply provided for? It would look bad if... I took care of that some time ago. What about the typewriter? There's no question about what it will be identified as his.  He's had it for years. You want me to keep this, or will you? I'll keep it. All right, it doesn't matter. You're positive the gun is registered in his name? Yes. And he'll be alone tonight? Yes, we've been through all this. I know. Well, I don't want any mistakes. This is no penny ante. Now, you got your reservation? Yeah, I checked again this morning. Okay. Now, you better leave in plenty of time. You want to be sure and make Phoenix before that little airport closes down. I know. I'll come down back of the house tonight a little beforehand, say, 12.45. Be sure you don't use any throttle coming in, along glide. Cut your motor as far out as you can. Yeah, yeah, I will. I'll be on time. You've got to get back to Phoenix before daylight. And when you put through that call to me, lay it on thick. I will. And don't worry. I'm not worried. No, I don't think you are. The hills were moving. Complicated, but good. We'd been over it enough, rehearsed it, line by line, so I knew exactly what she'd be doing and saying almost every minute. First, she'd be circling that little airport about a mile from the hotel and sounding as though she was in trouble. A little trick was fitting out the mixture that I showed her. And then she'd be coming in for a landing, taxiing over to the hang. That would be a little before five. Looking up on you, huh? Yeah, she is. I didn't think I was going to make it. Oh, cooperation, maybe. Exhaust valve sticking, I think. Yeah, yeah, that could be it all right. Thanks. Hey, you staying at Phoenix? Half a few days. Can I leave it here? Oh, sure. Tomorrow, first thing, I'll get a man. No, no, I'm going to get the man down here who sold it to me. I've only flown it about eight hours. Oh, gee, it shouldn't be doing that. I'll say it shouldn't. Is there anybody here at night? No, I'm sorry, ma'am. I come out again at eight in the morning. Well, he may be down here before that because I'm going to get him out of bed if it's the last thing I do. It's a brand new $6,500 airplane. Oh, I don't blame you. Well, in case you're out here before I am, I'll give you the key to the shops if there's anything you need. Thanks. Don't bother now. Just send it around the hotel. Okay. What are you staying? Desert Inn. Mrs. Marion Dunham. Hello. This is the hotel operator, Mrs. Dunham. I have your call to Los Angeles now. Oh, yes, thank you. Go ahead, Los Angeles. Mr. Judson? This is Marion Dunham. Mrs. Dunham. I don't do so well, Mr. Judson. In fact, if you ask me, I'm lucky to be alive. What? I'm mad, Mr. Judson. I think I've got a right to be. I started out for Phoenix today and that airplane you sold me, I just barely made it. I don't see why a brand new $6,500 airplane could possibly... I can't understand it, Mrs. Dunham. What seemed to be the trouble? Well, an exhaust valve or two just burned up, apparently. The plane's absolutely useless to me in the condition it's in now. I doubt if I'd even get off the ground. I quite understand, Mrs. Dunham. I'll send a man down first thing. I don't work just a man. I think you ought to come down here and look at it yourself, Mr. Judson. I should come. Why, there's nothing in particular that I could do. Well, are you responsible for these planes you sell to people, Mr. Judson, or aren't you? Well, I... I'll be down first thing in the morning. Where are you staying? The Desert Inn. The Desert Inn. Well, thank you, Mr. Judson. Good night. Good night, Mrs. Dunham. Get your call to Los Angeles, Mrs. Dunham. Yes, thank you. But is the doctor on his way up here? Oh, never mind. That must be him. Thank you. Yes, come in, Doctor. I'm awfully sorry to bother you, Doctor, but I've got a frightful headache. I flew in from Los Angeles today and something went wrong with my plane. I suppose it's just nerves, but I was wondering if you could give me something to help me sleep. Well, certainly, Mrs. Dunham. Thank you. You've got just the thing for you right here. Take one of these or two, if you think you need them. Well, I'd better take two. Well, they're pretty strong. How long will they make me sleep? You'll be dead to the world for good eight or nine hours, particularly if you take two. Well, thank you, Doctor. I'll go in and take them right now. Would you mind hanging that do not disturb sign on the door when you go out? Not at all, Mrs. Dunham. Good night. Good night, Doctor.  Oh, the plan was all right. Like I say, it was perfect. But it was just a little bit too perfect for Marion, because when they found her lying there beside the corpse, every one of those little steps she'd taken to give herself an alibi would prove that she'd planned it. Premeditated. Murder in the first degree. They'd say it went wrong, only because her husband managed to knock her cold before he died. The suicide note? There wouldn't be any. I'd say to that. I'd even be a witness against her, because instead of flying down to Phoenix with a couple of burned valves in my pocket to support her alibi, I'd fly down there and find there wasn't any plane or any Marion. And when she started that last walk to the gas chamber, maybe she'd begin to realize what I'd been through. My dream girl. I knew she'd sneaked out of the hotel a good two hours ago, and sure enough, I heard the motor, and I heard her cut it, and she was gliding in, and then we were walking together over towards the darkened house. What's the matter with you? You haven't spoken a civil word to me yet. You got your keys? Walk him. Who is it? It seemed like an hour that I was in there, straining to here and not being able to. She'd done it. I heard her running down the hall. She'd done it. I was in the door knob and was just about to step out when there was a click, and the knob wouldn't turn. Just what I'd planned to do to her. She'd fly back to Phoenix and then put in a call to her husband on some pretext, and she wouldn't get any answer, and pretend to be worried and call the cops, and they'd find me. They'd say I killed them and then got in a panic and locked myself in the closet by mistake. It was a spring lock and it could happen, but frantically through my pockets for something to work in the lock with. But I did find my pocket knife. There was just one chance. I had about three hours to whittle a hole through that door big enough for me to get my hand through. I went to work. She'd call the cops next. They'd be out to investigate. I started running across the field where it stood. If I could get off in that plane, I had to fly back. She'd land right on this very field from homicide, I suppose. They prowled all over the place, but they didn't find me. They were hidden in that little clump of trees. Fair enough on the wing before she even rolled to a stop. I suppose you thought I didn't know about her, that you got engaged to her the very day that you... You were going to frame me, weren't you? Well, I beat you to it and you're... Murim. Spelled PLA. Very, very funny. California for enjoyment throughout the world. And now this is Ken Niles bringing back to our suspense microphone our star of the evening, John Lund. John, may we all congratulate you on a swell job of acting. I'd like to offer you the thanks of the Roma Wine Company with this gift basket of Roma wine. Oh, thanks a lot, Ken. And my thanks to Roma for the basket. You know, at this point I should be able to ad-lib an immortal line about wine. But all I can think of is a jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and now. And I don't recall whether Omar Kayam specified Roma wine or not. Well, John, if Omar were living today, I'm sure he would specify Roma. Because for both host and guest, there's real pleasure in the tempting nut-like taste of Roma California sherry. Golden Amber Roma sherry assures tasteful, gracious hospitality for the party giver, satisfying enjoyment for guests. No wonder famous hosts from Hollywood to Manhattan praise Roma sherry as the perfect first call for dinner. The all-occasion wine for entertaining anytime. Well, John, Roma sherry is good. Because starting with choicest grapes from California's finest vineyards, Roma sherry is patiently, unhurriedly guided to tempting taste perfection by the unmatched skill of Roma vintners, by the unequaled resources of Roma's famed wineries. Then, along with Roma wines of years before, Roma sherry awaits selection from the world's greatest wine reserves for your pleasure. So for better taste, always insist on Roma wines. Remember, more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wine. Ken, speaking of things that most Americans enjoy, who's for suspense next Thursday? Well, it's going to be a particularly unusual and original show next Thursday. The play is called The Man Who Wanted to be Edward G. Robinson. And our star, of course, will be... None other than Edward G. None other indeed. He'll play two roles. He'll be sort of a switch family Robinson. I'll be listening. Oh, by the way, I hope nobody was too surprised that Mark Stevens and I switched dates tonight. However, to each his own, to each his own. Well, good night, John. We'll be looking forward to seeing you in Paramount's Technic Hotter production, Perils of Pauline. Next Thursday, same time, you will hear Mr. Edward G. Robinson as star of... Suspense. Produced and directed by William Spear for the Roma wine company of Fresno, California.

But all this sound equipment, I'll have to button my back here. Well, come in, let's go over there and see what's going on. The last time you talked, I forgot to tell you. No, this is just a presentation of what you were going to say.  Well, right. When we were discussing who expressed serious reservations, legitimacy, and I just wanted to probe that a little further. Oh, the follow-up. I'm going to talk to you. I'll be right back. This guy was always on the center. I'm going to see if he's on the top. Who's that? I don't know. Yeah, I have to. Yeah. This guy's got his own. What is back? Back, I see. Back. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. I see. Oh, Yay. All right, that's it. Was completely through for now. Okay. Please rail you™ and have some help with it. I see. That's it. War is not war. You and your group, we all came together on some things. I think you got a lot going on but accomplished. Got a way to go and I mean, you've got some things you want to talk about. Mr. President, you're balancing that and shaking our hands too, that's not bad. That's pretty good for you. Alright, well come on in here. Take the red chair over there. Are you sober? I understand you have an old party up there in Canada. I'm sober, but I'll tell you, this is for real. We have a really sleepless night, not through any of that, but I guess they wanted to treat us real nice so they painted everything up. And you know when you try to sleep in a room with the fresh paint smell? Oh my God. Both of us just awake in and out all the time. The night doing your favor they just painted it too soon, they just painted it two weeks before that. And I ran in the room. For the green color, I guess they had to just leave him. Was it green or the color? No, it was kind of like this, but they haven't even been doing a lot of work. Not only just in our room, but others. I know the doctor over here, he was sniffling the next morning and upset him that way. Let me just say I don't remember the color. But I'll tell you, they were all trying to be very nice, and I just think there was a great meeting. I think we've got a relationship that we had for a long time.  Two hours from now, take care of it. Well listen, I know there's something that's really MX, but I also understand it. You've got some problems or some questions and so forth. So why don't we start with that. Say it's gotten a lot warmer than this morning. I was freezing. I appreciate you getting with us. I was listening. Sorry to have kept you all waiting, but some of your colleagues, you don't know they are. I just didn't want to go. I won't tell anybody. You hadn't told anybody. That's why you're here. Well, come in. Somebody take the chair over here and other places and I'll call on you for support with these two fellows if you need it. Well, I know that you can't help but know that there are lots of concerns. I'm sure legitimate ones in the board are just how they feel about this. I'd like to see if I can't answer whatever question they might have. I feel very strongly that it is a necessary weapon to our old deterrent. And I also believe in addition to that, that it is essential to those negotiators of ours that it would be the worst thing in the world if we let those Russians after a week of negotiations sit across the table from the smirk on their faces because we had started unilaterally cutting back. If you had some chair over there, got some concerns about it, and I'd like to be able to answer anything if I could of what it is that... Well, basically it is. I have never been forwarding things, as a matter of fact, prior to running for office. I did a great deal of research on it and strongly support other parts. How are you? Good seeing you today. Good to see you. I didn't take chair over there. Yes, I'm your first appointment of the spring, so... That's right. I always thought that it was the 21st, but I understand that it... I know you've got some concerns about it. I understand you have some concerns. I've got some answers. Good morning, Max. How are you? How are you, sir? Well, as I informed your staff yesterday when the request came in to meet with... How are you, sir? Yes, I am. I'm Harold Humbert. Thank you. See you. Mr. President, Deidh Jenkins from Georgia. How is President George? I'm glad to see you. This is one of you. Take the chair and sit over here. Close. I've got some answers there. I'm excited. I hope so. President, fine. Thank you. Mr. Ravine Sternstein. I'm glad it's anonymous, Mr. President. I'm Ravine Shapiro. It's a pleasure to see you. Ravine Platt. How do you do, President? Ravine Coronel. How do you do? Ravine Wolpe. How are you? How are you, Mr. President? And Ravine Bernstein. Hello there. What's the $3,000 of the King of the Universe grant influence? This is a traditional grant to the President that is offered when we are honored to greet the head of state, which we just recited by Ravine Bernstein. Mr. President, I wonder if we can take a minute. We are here in Washington, on behalf of the National Conference of Soviet Jewry and the synagogue council of America. First, we wanted to present to you this beautiful Haggadah, which is the traditional prayer book for Passover. That is the spirit of freedom. And the reason we came to Washington, Mr. President, Ravine, Ravine, particularly leaders from all over the country, Orthodox, conservative, and reform, who have come, of course, to express and to manifest our concern about our brothers and sisters in the Soviet Union, who are in the stress, deep stress. And, of course, we are agonized about their plight. And we are going to evoke every method we can. We want to first express our gratitude to you, Mr. President, and your administration. We know that you have been very helpful and the strength of your position, your moral positions, deeply appreciated by all of us. And, of course, the prayer and the hope that, as you and God bless you in this hope that your negotiations with the Soviet Union will be productive and fruitful, we pray that the issue of our brothers and sisters will always be out of most of the discussions in these talks. We are determined that we cannot ever forget this. And we hope that such an honored and distinguished leader as you will join with us in the hope and the prayer that we will be able to free our fellow Jews. I do join with you in that, and I hope that you will have this. Let me just say one. If at times it appears that nothing is happening here at this end, I want you to recognize that our tactics have to be a little different yours than ours. I believe that we make a mistake if the head of state or government publicly seems to be pushing the other government. Then politically you push their leaders into a position where they mustn't appear to be dominated by another government. And we have been in our active meeting comes about that I have invited this will be foremost. Now, publicly every time we've ever said anything, they say, we can't listen to anyone with regard to internal affairs. I have found already I've never made this public. I don't want you to remember when I came here, 15 Pentecostalists in the city, basically the embassy, and they've been there for four years.  I said that we needed more than words. We needed deeds and more than a number of things that could be done to give evidence that they wanted to. This one is very important. Because we know who you are. We'll be grateful for any kind of diplomacy, open or quiet. And if you bring three million Russian Jews here, we'll declare a religious holiday. Thank you, Mr. President. I don't want you to know very much. I believe in that. And it's the latest thing now about jailing people for teaching him. Yes, yes. So for reference, I just cannot go on. We assure you we will not forget this. Thank you again, sir. I'll address everything. Would you like to go to the picture? Sure. I'll show there. This is their story. I said, what did you do then for him? Well, he said curfew. But he said it isn't curfew yet. He said, I know. But he's a friend of mine. I know where he lives. He never could have made it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you all very much. Thank you for that. Thank you. This is the end of the show. I want you to know. I don't agree with any of the opinions I hold. Thank you again. I bring the next three out. President, this is very important to share with you. For our people, including our domestic affairs. God bless you. Thank you.
