No need to apologize. My son spent a lot of time in the Horn, doing god knows what because he’s still not allowed to talk about it, and I spent a lot of time worrying about him coming home in a flag draped casket and I am enraged on Ms. Johnson’s behalf.

In case you are interested in all The Good Place Gifs,

Damn near shot water out my nose with the “it’s Chinese for ‘Japan’” line. That, and also during the trolley disasters in the last episode.

This is one of those few shows where there is not one actor/character that is somehow annoying/bad/horribly written. Every bit of this show is masterful. Even the side demons who venture in at times are perfectly written and directed.

Duh. I make my best faces when I have an audience.

I think it’s a defense mechanism.

Her mom was blind in one eye and had serious vision loss in the other (she has since gone completely blind).

“Designers, your final challenge will be to take Megyn Kelly’s color chart and create a wearable avant-garde look, suitable for meeting to discuss her show’s cancellation with NBC executives. This is a one day challenge, as she’ll be needing the outfit by next week.”

Rudy Galindo was a gem to watch on the ice. Love him.

Not that I want it to happen, but I don’t get too stressed when books go missing in my library. They probably ended up in a place where they were needed, and the worst thing that happens to me is I need to buy a replacement copy somewhere down the road.

I don’t need another reason to love libraries, but this is definitely added to the list. Now for anyone who needs some library porn... (as in beautiful libraries, not porn filmed in those libraries!)

I totally did. I just couldn’t believe it. My mind just couldn’t work out how she could add to an Olympic skating career by going to Stanford and becoming an orthopedic surgeon only to have it come crashing down and her end up living in a trailer park. I still don’t quite know how to make sense of that, only to say…

Listen, my greatest achievement on skates (and I learned to skate on the pond in our woods when I was probably 5-6) is skating backwards without falling down.

...they should plan reshoots so they can include this.

I used to go to a skating camp hosted by Elvis every year. He signed my sweatshirt and the only double flip double loop combo i’ve ever landed was in front of him.

Did you read the article that WaPo did last year about Debi Thomas? It was really sad and so unexpected - she always seemed like she was almost preternaturally gifted.

Would it help if I told you the story about my aunt getting in trouble with the secret service for throwing a whole cooked ham at Dick Cheney?

Yessss! Please let this be the beginning of a flourishing subgenre of 80s/90s figure skating biopics. Suggested other topics:

Amy Adams being snubbed for Arrival in favor of yet another Meryl Streep nomination was a true travesty.
