Her on-screen persona bores me to tears, but I fucking love her blog. She’s hilarious. There was definitely some personality watering-down that went into the creation of that show.

This does not sound weird. Those flavors sound amazing together. I would be super disappointed too.
I so desperately want to hike the Appalachian Trail. I also desperately do not want to pull a Cheryl Strayed (seriously, there are at least 5 ways she should have died on that trip), but kudos to you for going for it!
I heard that part. It’s just that the lyrics happened to fit perfectly to the tune of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy? It seemed like the creators were trying to have it be both authentically 40s and authentically 18th century at the same time.
Here’s what I want to know. Claire’s singing Scottish lyrics to the tune of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from the ‘40s, and yet it’s also a song that Jamie would recognize. Why? How? Apparently the lyrics are familiar to Jamie? Is it just that Jamie would know to find a singing Sassenach?
Just to be Scrooge, aren’t those babies going to be given away in a few weeks? I mean, maybe the owner wants 4 cats, but that’s a bit much for most. I also get surprisingly sad about kittens being separated from their families for forever. I got my current cat at about 6 weeks old (we later found out - though the…
Turns out all three of my younger siblings have now slept with someone, and I haven’t (seems like possibly won’t) ever get around to it. And we’re close enough that they’ve all encouraged me to go out and get a partner and it’s just weird. Also a healthy (?) amount of jealousy going on.
I thought for a moment that this was her future baby, and got real confused about who she was taking the pictures with.
As an Emma, can I please request that people stop naming their kids this? I feel like every time I go to a public place with children it’s just echoing around me.
I want, but on the other hand, my eyes hurt from crying. So I think I would rather stop crying. Can I have a cashmere-soft tissue?
I have to say it. I love Outlander, but the book really comes to a screeching halt during the sex-fest after Claire and Jamie marry. The Lallybroch scenes are nice and all, but there’s no real tension until the deus ex Jack Randall. So while these episodes aren’t perfect, I think they’re an improvement.
A bit unrelated, but I didn’t know series 3 was up. Thank you!
Everyone I tell winces when they hear my mom had 4 kids in 5 years. Luckily, that included one set of twins, so all 3 pregnancies were actually spaced 2.5 years apart. But then there’s my grandmother, who had 6 kids in 9 years (no multiples)...
Confessional moment: I've been checking for the midseason premier date since this fall.
Droughtlander has come to an end! Hallelu!
So I’m generally a healthy person, which means that I’m very bad at being sick. So when I checked into my school’s infirmary with the seasonal stomach bug, I was not going to lie in the bed looking pathetic. I walked around the damn infirmary, stopping periodically to puke, until they sent me out for some “fresh air.”…
I figured something like that was probably going to happen, but still. The school is the students' community, and they're starting over.
So the students are going to have to apply elsewhere? That majorly sucks.
I'm sorry that happened to you, and I'm glad you're safe now.
Luckily for those of us on college campuses, none of this applies. All the classes and none of the amenities, and my walk to campus is going to look like an Arctic trek. Going to college in Maine sure is looking like a good idea.
