Indeed. I’m a young-ish person who’s nervous about cognitive decline. My memory can be so spotty already anyway, so of course I worry it’ll get progressively worse. I didn’t want to pay for Lumosity, though, so I guess I’m still ahead...?

Oh, you.

I was a recipient of such a gift-buying process last year, and I was so pleasantly surprised at how simple yet amazing the gift we all received was. My sister-in-law bought us all Utili-Keys, and my husband and I both adore ours. Once I whipped mine out at a wedding to help with something, the bride’s mother was so…

They really destroyed Andrea. But they take enough from the comics to worry me... Because if for some fucking insane reason they choose to introduce Negan, I’m out. I can’t watch that again.

How would you compare its hate-watchability to McPhee’s other vehicle, SMASH? I gave that one way more chances than I should have because Broadway, but sweet baby Jeebus was it bad. I was so glad it got canceled because I can get sucked into staying with terrible shows because I hate myself. See: Smallville.

She’s had Botox, right? I mean, I don’t remember her upper lip being so dead back during SMASH. Or maybe she’s even more lackluster of a performer now and doesn’t even bother to move her upper lip because fuck trying to emote on such a silly show?

She’s like a demented Mary Poppins, and I love it.

We had a small panic before the impending shutdown two years ago with my husband’s pay. That emergency measure was passed to ensure military personnel were still paid. So we at least got to breathe easier... Until I realized, “Motherfuckers. You bothered to pass an emergency measure just so you could contue your hissy…

They act like the end of the fiscal year is such a sudden surprise with all this last-minute bullshit. IT LITERALLY HAPPENS ON THE SAME DAY EVERY YEAR, GUYS. Your job is to set the budget. You have all year to plan.

Props for “trauma conga-line.”

It’s funny that you bring up the last line. In the Japanese original, it actually seemed hopeful to me — that they’d figured out a way to beat Sadako by just always making sure you show it to someone. The American version seemed much more like they were delving into the darkness of what had to be done. There was no…

Buddhism isn’t all fluffy bunnies, either. I mean, take a good look at reincarnation. The shitty life you live is predestined because of terrible behavior in a previous life. Imagine a water buffalo being whipped for being an obstinate animal. Some Buddhist thought would proclaim that if that buffalo is in such a…

I’m reminded of how Daniel Quinn handled the idea of the story of Adam and Eve and the tales of the Semites in his first book, Ishmael. Basically, this origin story comes from another culture that was perfectly find with leaving their dates in the hands of the gods. Only gods were to know who shall live and die and…

Ugh, that sex scene. I was agog with awkward, palpable discomfort. I also thought it was hilarious that the weapons were so obviously blunt — you just knew the prop master didn’t trust a single one of the actors.

Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death. Starring Shannon Tweed of Playboy fame, Adrienne Barbeau and her D-Cups of Justice, and Bill Maher.

Unbreakable is my favorite by him and just a solidly done movie. The visuals! The concept! Love it.

You want another video game girl who’ll give you shit-your-bed nightmares? Kirie from the original Fatal Frame. Pair her unsettling and rare pop-up appearances through the game and the general gameplay... Well, let’s just say that we wanted to watch Care Bears before going to bed.

I’m not much of a horror watcher. But I saw The Ring in the cinema with my friends. I was generally pretty unsettled throughout the whole thing. But when that fiend climbed out of the television? I shrieked like the woman I am.

I just lost my shit. Thank you. Although, my husband has now kicked me out of bed because I couldn’t stop giggling and it was shaking the bed.

I feel you. My first and only time GMing, I’d come up with what I thought was a great world based loosely on ancient China in the Warring States period. I’d tried to think up myriad ways to counter when my players would be assholes (a common threat in our group, since we’ve been friends since secondary school). I had…
