I try like hell to stay away from politics on FB. I don't need to get into a public fight with the few politically wacko friends I have. It's not like I'm going to change their minds.

I have little patience for really long movies, because they're usually unnecessary. It's often self-indulgent. I've seen too many films that run over 2 1/2 hours and are 15-20 minutes too long. I do want to see Interstellar, but the running time is an issue for me.

Here's a piece the NY Times ran on Nolan last week:

You know what, though? I truly believe that no one should ever minimize the negative bullshit they're going through. I mean, it's good to keep things in perspective; at the same time, sometimes the little things (for want of a better term. God knows I had more than a couple jobs that were bitching-worthy) really can…

Ah ha! The thread I've been looking for.

I agree. It's much worse than the accusations. I do not get why no one ever challenges Boehner et al when they say that shit. I have some issues with Obama, but goddamnit, he sincerely tried to create some discussion and compromise with them, and they continuously shut him down. They hate him with a hot, flaming…

Little Lord Fauntleroy

Oh, man. I was back in PA for a week. My sister was reading a puff piece on Corbett about him losing his mother when he was 17, like that was a reason to vote for him. She went on a very entertaining rant about him. Apparently he spent his entire second term as AG campaigning for Governor. He wasn't even subtle about…

As a woman, I feel there's a big fucking difference. For a few reasons, reproducing is not an issue for me, and hasn't been for a long time. But oof! The growing reactionary attitude towards birth control scares the hell out of me. It's completely bizarre to me that, in this day and age,anyone would want to do away…

Apparently Asheville has, per capita, the largest number of local breweries in the the U.S. That's something to be genuinely proud of.

In PA, you can only buy two six-packs of beer at a time (unless that's changed. I haven't live there in 14 years. Also, now I can't remember if that law is enforced only on Sundays, or if it's in effect all the time). The loophole is you can buy two six-packs, leave the bar, and come right back in and buy two more.…

Martinis should always have a minimum of two olives. I've had more than one generous bartender put in four olives. Hey, we gotta eat.

OK, I've never heard of pimp cups, and now two people have mentioned them. Is this a really new thing, or am I just too goddamn old to know what they are?

Those damn lattes take time, you know.

OH, come on. We all know Obama is Zodiac Motherfucker.

Ha! me too. I also love Nipsey Hussle. And now I can't remember if that's a real name or one of the fake ones.

Those Darn Democrats: This Spring, on ABC.

You must watch it. This show made a huge impression on me. I mean, I was 12. Of course it did. But it's stuck with me my whole life. And even after all these years, any time I see Bonnie Bedelia, or just see her name, the first thing that comes to mind is her on the beach, in her wedding gown.

You damn well should show yourself out (she said as she laughed)

I'm going to demand juice and cookies after I vote today.
