My mom bought the book of an author I know, and she cried like she’d lost a friend when she read it. I was over at her house and we were reading together on the porch swing. The whole thing shook with the force of her sobs.

... the FUCK?

I seriously would rather go without than eat “diet” or “lite” anything. “1/2 the fat... 1/8th of the flavor!”

I’m no pedia-fucking-trician, but if the kid is too stiff to stuff in their car seat, I’m taking that as a sign it ain’t a goddam cold.

Ah, Jon Snow, once again, you know nothing. This time, it’s about leading an army. “Get pissed and rush in,” is never a great tactic, especially when it’s well-established the enemy has greater numbers and an entrenched position.

Well, this would be a massive expense. Not only installing the systems in sometimes-crumbling buildings which weren’t made for it (including asbestos abatement, etc.) but also the cost of running and maintaining the systems. If air conditioning is deemed a human right, the state is facing a huge expense in every…

I’m a John Adams fangirl, so I wish he’d been in the show more.

There are a couple of tiny details the cast recording leaves out, such as the fate of Laurens. Seeing Eliza beatbox for Philip’s birthday poem, and her gasp at the end of the play are really things that the recording can’t capture, but the listener isn’t lost without them.

I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek with that. I know he didn’t actually force me into piracy. I’m just saying I was left with no legal way to see the show before the original cast departed, and so I chose to do a bad thing. If there was a legal way (i.e. buying a DVD) I’d be all over that shit.

I’m a writer, so it’s almost a requirement to have a Facebook page. I wouldn’t have one otherwise.

I watched a bootleg video of the show last week. I feel bad, but I knew I’d never get to see the show with the original cast otherwise. Like most people, I can’t afford to go to New York and pay the ticket prices on top of that. I will buy tickets to see it when the show comes to a theater near me, but it won’t be the…

I’m proud to say that every one of my dogs has been a rescue. I currently have a mutt-of-indeterminate-origin and a Jack Russel who thinks he’s an old, fat cat.

I would bet the fucking farm that he’s not referring to his son’s drinking/promiscuity, but rather the victim.

I sincerely hope every single one of his presentations are interrupted by someone pointing out the victim was not sexually promiscuous. He raped her. The problem wasn’t drinking or that anyone was promiscuous (whatever the hell that even means these days.) THE PROBLEM WAS THAT HE RAPED HER.

I, for one, am fiercely glad he’ll never be his happy-go-lucky self. His father didn’t intend for me to feel this way when I finished his letter, but I smiled with grim pleasure. I am glad that his days are filled with anxiety and depression. I’m delighted that his every moment is consumed with worry and that he has…

Not all museums have everything insured. It depends on the facility’s budget, mainly, and how much they can afford to dish out in premiums. I’ve seen some places which were “rich” in the wonderful artifacts they contained, but their budget was so strained that it was often strapped to buy basic cleaning supplies, let…

Dany so far has shown herself to be a terrible queen. She swoops in and conquers. Okay, that’s great. But ruling is something else entirely. Girl wants to rule seven kingdoms when she can’t even keep three small cities from erupting in civil war.

I was pretty sure Margery wasn’t going to be doing the Walk of Shame as soon as we saw her. Her hair hadn’t been cut.

I’m slightly skeptical we’ll see hr, especially since the actress has been cast in another television show (playing Margaret Beaufort in “The White Princess.” If it wasn’t a Philipa Gregory story, I’d say she’d been born to play Margaret.)

I pictured the crowd spontaneously turning their backs so they wouldn’t have to embarrass Margery further.
