Why can’t they get rid of Hiram? Aarrgghh!!!

Stony-faced, gravel-voiced, love to get in little digs?

When I read fanfiction and see the phrase “couldn’t help but wonder,” I mentally roll my eyes. (Not SATC fanfics, I never even thought about that until now.) Of course a lot of fanfic is eye-rolly for all kinds of reasons. But I read it anyway.

Oh, heck, that sounds like God in the Old Testament Book of Job.

Yes, Mr. Big was supposed to be “the next Donald Trump” or “a young Donald Trump.” Ugh.

My mom and dad liked it. They watched it on TBS or TNT or whatever it was in    reruns. My parents were in their 70s at the time. My dad kind of shocked me at one point by saying the four were “narcissistic bitches.” He rarely uses either one of those words, much less together. But...he wasn’t wrong. Everyone on that…

Thanks. Should have said that a couple days ago.

There was another show, I believe on TLC, that slightly preceded “Clean House” but had a similar approach. That was “Clean Sweep,” where a larger team would come in, completely clear two rooms, help the homeowners decide what to get rid of and what to keep, hold a yard sale and redecorate the two rooms. There was a…

I liked how they cleaned things with mouthwash, always reminding the viewers (and the homeowner) that “mouthwash disinfects.” And the gloves were fab!

It’s an alternative, Frencified spelling is all. Like spelling your dog’s name “Phideaux.”

One of the goals of “Color Me Beautiful” was to take away the trial error process, prevent people (women) from making expensive mistakes when buying clothes. It’s one thing to try on all different colors, but I would want to avoid spending money on colors that look terrible on my and I’ll never wear. If you’re…

I still have problems conceptualizing “olive” skin...even though I’ve been told (even by a dermatologist) that I have olive or “olivey” skin. I’m light, no freckles, tan then burn. I’m definitely a Winter. But “olive” is more often used to describe skin tones darker than mine. I don’t get the thing that makes them all…

Plant fibers as well as animal fibers can be spun...and not just cotton or flax. There must have been places where plants with stringy fibers grew wild.

There’s lots of steamy Austen fanfic, isn’t there? Some has even crossed over into published books. 

LOL! I’ll have to try that next time I run into one! 

Thanks!

To be clear, I do think the wallpaper is awesome!

It’s also normal for Jez to review/recap a new show or new film. Two weeks is plenty of time to come out with an intelligent review. Many other sites have done it with “Queen’s Gambit.” There was nothing at all on Jez for two weeks. “Bend It Like Beckham” was not the best example, but I’ve had a horrible couple of…

I enjoy reading that sort of thing after binge-watching a series, or reading a book, or well, after consuming whatever piece of art/entertainment may be. I literally have degrees in that shit. At least half the fun for me is in the discussion. It’s one thing to avoid discussions, etc. If you don’t want to read, don’t…

If that’s your reaction, that’s your reaction. My disappointment is with Jezebel as a whole, not you. It seems like this would be the sort of show that would prompt in-depth critique and discussion on Jez. I was looking forward to it. Yes, I can start the discussion. And likely I will. But  I read Jez for its point of…
