ha! Fair although I’ve mostly worked in-house so I’ve always had to dedicate a lot of brainspace to things you could argue don’t really matter that much.

I get up at 6, start work around 7:15, get home around 4, and yeah, we eat by 5:15-5:30 most nights. We don’t have kids, it just works for our schedule and life. It means my husband can get to the gym or his therapy appointment by 6 and not be starving, it means I can take a walk after dinner while it’s still light…

I was 22 and newly out as queer when the movie came out and found her very hot but ... yeah I don’t know if I realized she was 17 when it was filmed and the implications of that.

Yeah, I’m a copywriter, this is way beyond just writer - either Communications Advisor or as noted below, Director of Marketing Communications. I was telling my husband about the job and he jokingly said “so you’re applying, right?” and I said heck no, I don’t want that much stress and responsibility! For that much…

The first Qawah House in Illinois (possibly outside Michigan?) opened in my town a couple years ago. I follow them on Instagram but I have to confess I haven’t been inside yet. Why? Because usually when I’m passing them at 9 a.m. on a Saturday they’re not open yet!

Have read that carbs stimulate serotonin too, so it’s a form of self-medicating when depressed or anxious. Mmm. Carbs.

Of course Dule Hill can dance? He got his start tap dancing on Broadway??

I can see jalapeño working, but I still don’t want pineapple on my pizza :P

Learn something new every day! But Jonathan Demme was not…

Would eat the pickle half; I like a pickle pizza now and then. Not so much on the pineapple.

I mean, it’s a valid interpretation and I think it’s even mostly correct - they point out in both the book and movie that no psychologist would sign off on an actual gender transition. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t problems with it! Hell, Hannibal even says at one point that “transsexuals are very docile” or…

I don’t think you need to die, a lot of people agree with you :)

I am a huge fan of Hannibal, the series. Obviously Bryan Fuller is gay and brings that to his work but I wonder if he was (consciously or not) compelled to try to counter the transphobia of SOTL by making his series suuuuper queer.

OK just want to note that she’s 30, older than I thought, but STILL... 

I agree. I love the kids, I do want to see more of them, but I also love the new directions they’re taking some of these episodes. The whole point is that they are part of a community, that they’re all connected. I loved the “aunties” episode last year. I laughed so damn hard at Big and Bev awkwardly flirting. The…

Yeah. And even most of the dishes we eat with meat, meat isn’t the main focus - it’s more of an accent.

I love this show. I was really impressed when I saw the director, she’s so young!

I am ALWAYS happy to see Carson Teva, because Paul Sun-Hyung Lee needs to be in more things (and he’s a massive geek).

Yeah, when I have physical coupons that does slow me down a bit, but I don’t usually mind much. They also have e-coupons at Marianos/Kroger that you use by scanning your reward card.

I’ve had the jalapeno ranch chicken one a couple times and it’s tasty! nice mix of flavors and textures and a little kick. Would also try the Italian.
