They truly ended it at the right time, and in the right way. The zaniness of Ilana (the character) and the ineptness of Abbi (the character) no longer seemed fun. They (the characters, and the creators) began to see it too, and now they have left the stage open for all those other best-friend duos out there. Brilliant!

I thought he was very hot in the equally out-there “Dig”, and THEN found out that he had been Lucius Malfoy.

Language, young man, language!

And the gospels are pretty thin history, when you get down to it.

No no no - the unnamed “sinner of the town” who anointed Jesus’s head has been taken to be a prostitute; Mary of Bethany was the sister of Martha and Lazarus and also anointed Jesus; Mary Magdalene was a disciple, had “7 demons” cast out of her, and was the first to see Jesus after his resurrection. Confused? Quiz on…

If people weren’t so timid about offending everyone, there are so many ways she can be portrayed that haven’t already been done to death:

The one time I did get sick from leftover rice is when I made a rice stuffing for chicken and left it in the chicken overnight. Note to self: don’t leave stuffing in the bird.

A lot of people seem to be dying in their nineties, which I guess we can’t complain about too much. If people are under 75 it seems too young.

Prodded by a sense of duty, the AV Club man’s recent enthusiastic response to “Wonder Woman”, and an infuriating National Geographic article on child brides i.e. forced marriages of girls, I went to see “Captain Marvel”. I don’t know the Avengers from the Justice League, I don’t know Nick Fury from Billy Fury, but I…

During the months you are still at home, make a note of your sweaters or hoodies that are warm but of thin material, so you don’t have to lug a bulky piece. Leggings can go on under pants. A thick cotton pashmina-type scarf doesn’t take up a lot of room but can add some warmth of you need it.

Looking forward to this one. I’m not so much into comics, but I am devoted to Celtic lore, so May 2020 feels like a long time to wait!

Yes - “up the river” and you’re going to Sing Sing; “down the river” and you’ll be picking cotton.

I have to say that I never thought of Lee Israel being Jewish, despite the admittedly Jewish last name. Nor did I notice Melissa McCarthy’s nose. Nor do I think it is important to have had Israel played by a heavy actress. Lots of people have been played by actors who did not resemble them a great deal. Much was made…

Ah, Dairy Queen... the one and only chain business, outside of gas stations, in my hometown once upon a time. Now I live nowhere near a Dairy Queen so no cone for me, even without the regulation chocolate dip. But I can dream, can’t I?

I like watching Norah interview priests, because she doesn’t take the Vatican BS.

An employment counselor once suggested: “I was not successful in my last position and I understand why.”

Reminds me of “Brick”.

Just to be clear, Pirro wasn’t talking about Omar’s race, but her religion, and thus those remarks were an example of bigotry, not racism.

I remember when the answers (i.e. questions) were printed on cards on the board, and the questions (i.e. answers) were on other cards that would drop down in front. No video!

The efforts of a “first” can sometimes seem crude, in retrospect. I attended one her talks at a local museum. I didn’t care to see photos of her dead cat, but she was a dynamic speaker. R.I.P.
