as a Brooklynite I am very excited for the prospect of more boogie-ing

I just marathoned season 2 of this show thanks to Hulu autoplay and I'm so glad I did. I'd never seen an episode before but now I feel confident in saying that Dina is a national treasure

Even though I discovered him well after his heyday, my sophomore year of high school I had a deep, deep obsession with "When Doves Cry" and I would write all the lyrics in the margins of my notes when I was bored in class. I feel like all I know of Prince just barely scratches the surface, though - all these

If I'm randomly scrolling through fb and any how to video that can be watch without sound with jaunty editing pops up, I will probably watch it. It's just so soothing and I like that it makes getting a finished product seem so easy - and since I'll never make it, I'll never feel the frustration that comes from

Rice to Riches is a delicious treasure with hilarious signage!

Thorgy Thor looks just like Cosima from Orphan Black in boy-mode.

I really felt for Mickey in this episode because you can clearly see her "say hi at work" plan fall from "kind of weird but ok" to "no please quit while you still can". Gus went from putting her on this cool girl pedestal to not really giving a fuck about her, but in Mickey's mind nothing should be different because

The official term for the film is a "still film" and there's a single moving image! the female character blinks in the long closeup of her face.

That vaccine is 3 shots spaced out over a few months and it HURTS. I got it when I was in middle school (when it first came out) and I still remember how it felt - the 2nd or 3rd was probably the most painful shot I have ever received

I went to my pediatrician for WAY too long (to the point where I would check in or call for something minor and the nurse would say "you really should have found another doctor by now"

Ugh Harris is still the first thing that pops into my head whenever I hear a Phish reference

"Golden Years" is my go to grooving song, and for that I am forever grateful to Bowie. Since the news broke I've been digging into his catalogue mostly through live albums and I'm discovering so many songs I knew but never realized were by him.

I was in high school when Gossip Girl premiered and for the first season it was EVERYTHING. Years later when I moved to New York I rewatched the show (stalling out in the middle of season 5) and this time followed along with NY Mag's believability index and it was truly the only reason I got as far as I did.

Truthfully, I forgot some of these shows even aired in 2015 (not that they weren't excellent). My TV memory is becoming increasingly goldfish-ian in my quest to consume as much #PeakTV as I can and also why I don't think I can make year end lists anymore. For example, I watched iZombie over the past week or two and

I've never listened to Ragtime but Audra McDonald is so stunning in that song that I might just have to check out the rest of the OBCR

I've watched the Tony performance SO many times. And now I'm wondering what Hunter Foster has been up to lately.

I can see Lin losing best actor because winning lyrics/score/book is more "his" award so they honoring his acting would be secondary to everything else he's already accomplished with the show.

I think it was in a Grantland (RIP) article where Lin-Manuel Miranda said those are the best 2 songs he's ever written…and he gave them both to Leslie Odom Jr.

My junior year of college my friends and I had a weird obsession with that song after hearing it in a sandwich shop and I was FLOORED when I found it was from a musical because it seemed so incongruous

"Being Alive" just guts me every time I hear it, without fail.
