Douglas, since you are a lifetime teetolar (good decision BTW) you wouldn’t understand. I have quit drinking twice (just starting my second time recently), and all of the confusing stuff this article talks about at length is quite familiar. Lotsa words, but there’s a lot going on to talk about. Good writing, Danielle,…

Obviously, the character with the best hentai on the Internet. (The Italian Senate will make a decision on it as soon as it votes on FF VII characters.)

That Skyrim shot is gorgeous; I wonder what graphic settings and mods were used to create it. Oh, wait, no, NO! Cannot unsee! Must ... not ... reinstall ... Do not go to Nexus ... AUGH! (sound of another two hundred hours of life lost in Tamriel ... )

I did something like this almost a year ago, and my life is so much better for having done so. Good luck.

I really was looking forward to the second season of Sense8, but now that it’s cancelled I’m reluctant to even start. I was wondering how they were going to manage to keep it going for five years with all the costs they had to be incurring filming all around the world. Too bad they couldn’t do one more season and…

If you haven’t tried AA, at least go to a couple of meetings. As long as the meeting is an open one (most are), all visitors are welcome. It’s not for everyone, and the types of meetings can vary (I started out in an atheist/agnostic one, which really helped me get over the God crap that creeps into others), but it…

“Can suck it”? Most likely they will suck it. It will all blow up in the Trumpistas’ faces, and they will still worship the shit he spews and follow him in blaming Obama and Hilary.

We were very fortunate because my mom’s apartment complex went condo just as she was sliding out of control. She went very begrudgingly into assisted living, with a lot of pushing her into it. The best advice is to be honest with her: it’s not that she’s a “pain,” it’s that you just can’t take care of her any more.…

You nailed it! I’m glad I scrolled all the way down before I started typing. Let’s just hope they stay as far away from us as much as possible.

I was finally going to get up the internal fortitude to spend part of a day with my mom tomorrow when I came down with a cold. Her assisted-living facility has a strict policy about colds and flus: if you have one, don’t even come in the front door. I am *so* relieved. Ever since my cancer I have been unable to…

It’s the Wachowskis, who used to be the Wachowski brothers until they both transgendered. They did the Matrix movies. I can understand Mr. Flection not getting into it; it’s just not for everyone. I like to think that Sense8 is what Philip K. Dick would have come up with if he were still alive and decided to write a…

I’m a total movie streamer nowadays so no opinions on the Oscars. 5 (or so) of my most favorite movies (not the best, but the ones I have/will watch the most times over) are:

I watched “Idiocracy” tonight. After this election, it’s so painfully realistic and prophetic that it’s hard to watch. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes laughing through tears.

“No noise.” Damn straight. Crinklers. Crunchers. Talkers. Texters. Serial coughers/sneezers. I’ve given up on theaters except for Let’s Blow S**t Up spectaculars, and occasionally going to art houses with food and drink with friends which is more of a social event (no we don’t talk during the movie).

Lame troll gets 1/10.

Wha? Katy looks great! Well, except below the waist: WTF? Mutant alpaca maybe?

Unless you get your kids into multi-player gaming too. The family that slays together, stays together ...

Chuckling behind their backs may make you feel better but it isn’t going to do anything. Try coming up with some way to get through to them. Hmmm, maybe a song about the struggles of people with differing gender orientations? Which might give them something to think about? I wonder where we could find that ...

If you try To hit Trump supporters on the head about how stupid they are, you are not likely to accomplish anything. The lyrics of “This Land” are quietly subversive, and “Born This Way” is pretty obvious to anyone listening. I think she did a pretty good job of pushing a message in the guise of entertainment.

Whoaaaa, straight out of “Brazil” ...
