I am gray, so no one will ever see this, but I love telling this story any chance I get.

...and that very same reminder got my husband out to see "Coriolanus" and he has never expressed a minute's worth of regret in the year since.

Because Gillian is the Supreme Goddess and Dakota Johnson is a void. A flesh-toned, boring void. What is the saying? "There is no there there."

Only now do I realize how extremely lucky I was that THIS was the movie that my son played non-stop for almost 2 years. I dodged a major Frozen/SpongeBob bullet.

I was patiently waiting for that. Bless you.

The cyclist husband shaves his legs more religiously than I do. He is even doing it in the winter now for no damn good reason and it is pissing me off because I am feeling the pressure to shave, too.

What crap. Lone, tiny, shimmering bright spot is that Mark Ruffalo and Steve Carell got nominated for Foxcatcher.

My husband is a full-time cyclist and freely admits that he has to be a total jerk in traffic, but it is mostly due to trying to avoid getting killed. He has been hit by cars 5 times (minor- thank god ) and EVERY SINGLE TIME the driver was on the phone. His personal safety motto is "Live as though the cars don't see…

It snowed for 3 hours in Minnesota yesterday and the State Patrol responded to almost 700 accidents. Granted, it was cold and icy and that makes it worse, but FFS people, you cannot go 70 on I-494 during this shit. Minnesota drivers aren't any better, they are just more smug.

I just got around to seeing Only Lovers and I was way more excited about those guitars than anything else, but I have to admit that nothing that has Tilda Swinton in it can be bad. She just brought out the best in that entire cast.

Darlene can throw all the shade at Mariah. ALL THE SHADE.

This seems pretty normal to me. When I was in a sorority (many years ago), there were pretty strict guidelines about when and where we could wear our letters. I know for sure we could not wear them to any bar or place where alcohol was being served (ha!), and could not wear them at any political canvassing or…

I agree. I recommend him to everyone and get frustrated when they blow me off. They are purposely depriving themselves of good things.

Um, that is about the most un-Minnesotan thing ever. You don't talk about your job in more than one sentence and you certainly don't just announce you are a Vanderbilt. Jesus, if you asked Prince what he did, he would simply say he was "in the arts" and then politely change the subject back to you.

Hiddleston's thunder officially stolen.

These people need their own little acre of Hell. Can you imagine as a dispatcher or call-taker just getting off the phone with a caller who is reporting their baby not breathing or a domestic and then getting a shit call like this before you can even catch a breath?

I have a very sudden and violent love for baby goats that I cannot explain. Hormones? Getting older? "You can't have babies, but get goats...lots and lots of goats...!"

Rahm?

Bravo Burrito in St Cloud, MN. The only reason I ever go back to that godforsaken place.
