YES. He is a total restoration nerd. I am also a nerd, so I love his enthusiasm over antique linoleum and standing there patiently with a hot gun melting off years of paint. Plus I think he’s cute as a bug.

Oh, I didn’t know that. Sigh for everyone involved!

I know. What these kids are doing is amazing, and to a certain amount you have to jump on the zeitgeist. But they all need to make sure they’re processing everything that’s happened.

I thought it was hilarious, and Drew and Timothy Olyphant have wonderful chemistry as husband and wife. It’s ridiculous in the best way. Can’t wait to settle in with Season 2.

What a sad stupid way to die for a young man who was so talented, and whose costars have only had lovely things to say about him. And he was an only child. My heart aches for his parents.

I’m trying not to buy gag gifts to accumulate a lot of stuff anymore, but this sounds like it’s in a good cause. Any way to pay for the book and donate it to a kids’ reading room or shelter or something?

Great to hear, but my God, Millie looks almost 30 in that picture. Hope she has people in her life keeping her grounded and age-appropriate. I’d hate to see her getting churned up by the Hollywood machine.

Same problem in Pennsylvania. You’ve got Philly on one end, Pittsburgh on the other, and Alabama in the middle.

Huge fan of Ms. Weir’s. I especially like Children of England. It covers the years between Henry VIII’s dying and before Elizabeth moved to the crown. Which I hadn’t had a chance to read about it in depth. Super book!

Is that a recent picture of the gentleman in question? Dang. Aging like a fine cab sauv.

Or just, the first year, she was making $X. It’s time to reup for the second season, during which time she’s become the face of the show. A salary of $X plus Y% to compensate her for her contributions seems appropriate!

Where was her agent? Where was her manager? Why wasn’t there someone to say, Hey folks, this has become a major phenomenon, and Claire is entitled to a pay hike.

The guy doesn’t eat anything except broccoli and air. I’d be pretty fucking miffed too.

I read somewhere that if you swirl an ice cube in your wine for about 10 to 15 seconds, that will chill it down to an appropriate temperature without melting and watering down your wine. I’ve tried it with reds, and it works well for me! Whites I just stash in the fridge and take out to warm up a little before pouring.

Oh yeah. *fans self*

GODDAMN, Miss Holland Taylor is 75? And dating someone 30 years younger? Go on, ma’am!

Yeah, is this a thing? My ex and I adopted two cats together because we wanted them to have a companion when we were gone at work all day. (I got full custody in the divorce.)

In all seriousness, I just booked an appointment to meet with a new GP and get a physical done. I haven’t had one in years, and I have heart disease and diabetes in my family history.

Kevin Smith is just a year older than I am!

If you didn’t, I’d be more worried about you.
