Now everytime I order from Arran Aromatics I’ll be reminded of this. Thanks????

It took me a very long time to realize that things I learned in AP and other advanced classes during my youth were not taught as standard for everyone else. Whenever I would mention something to my brothers that I assumed they learned in school, they were like “I learned no such thing and never heard of it”. It…

This is what baffles me. I mean, there’s a LOT that baffles me about his whole campaign, but this in particular. DT’s from NYC, much as I hate to share a hometown and borough with him. Over here, when you say illegal immigrant, this is what pops into my mind in order: Chinese, Polish, Russian, pick a South American…

A little over 20 years ago Jim Carrey was in the movie The Dead Pool. Does that count?

And that includes a Mexican, non-Mexican Latino and someone MARRIED to a Mexican. You keep playing to that base, guys! It’s done wonders for you so far.

I’m not entirely sure what needs to be addressed. Does it count as torture porn when torture is exactly what it is and what it’s meant to be? From a strictly viewer perspective, this entire season has built the character of Black Jack as a psychotic sadist with a sick obsession with Jamie. He loves inflicting pain and…

That’s one of the things I love too, regardless of my issue with there being so much rape, attempted or otherwise, throughout the books notwithstanding. I love that it stays with him, because in real life that would never go away, even if you’ve dealt with it on an intellectual level.

I was at an industry party and Russell Crowe was there, fresh off of his “everybody loves me cuz I’m Maximus” stint and he was just about to start shooting A Beautiful Mind. I was taking a picture with Ron Howard, the NICEST person ever and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise! Russell was making faces that made us…

Primeval! THAT’S why he looked so familiar! I kept going, “isn’t that the dude from Shetland, the Scottish detective show nobody watches except me?” And he is, but it kept on gnawing at me that that’s not what I knew him from.

You are completely right! It's the different POVs they give, plus some stuff they cut out, that the show really shines with, where those same parts in the book sometimes had me going "really?" (and then kept turning the page because I couldn't stop). And I love Claire's faults, especially when she does stuff where I'm…

I'm conflicted, because Claire is my homegirl (if that phrase is still in usage!) and she was just trying to get home to her man, I would've done the same. But she needed to understand what her situation really is. I've often daydreamed about what it would be like if I went back in time and what period I would want to…

Props for the ear nailing callback. I was thinking about that too, and that was the LIGHTER sentence. When Claire started in with a "where I come from" speech when they were out on the road collecting rents, Jamie flat out says "but you're not there, you're here".

Absolutely. As someone who goes into blackout rage everytime I hear phrases like, "...for a girl" or "girls can't...", this is exactly what I came away with reading the book. It took a while for me to get there until I realized that I needed to stop looking at it from my 21st century "that's not what you're supposed…
