I typically read 80-100 books a year (some of them are short!), and for the last several years I’ve been having a good time reading outside of my usual subject areas with the annual Reading Challenge lists from Popsugar.com. It’s like a scavenger hunt. The categories include standard genres like “a play” or “a…

I’m glad you did - I was worrying about that meat she had been eyeing.

Me too. It would have been less jarring if they had kept her hair the same color.

Which ironically is what ultra-conservatives have pushed for: a migration to New Hampshire, South Carolina, Arkansas, Idaho/Montana, to build a haven for *their* political philosophy.

Sometimes I want to watch a show featuring people who are pretty much just like me and my daily life; sometimes I really don’t want to deal with more of the same. I’m not a regular viewer of Big Bang (it’s on constantly in reruns, so as with Modern Family I mainly see it in bits and pieces), but I get a kick out of it…

Speaking of manipulation, Fosse pulled this while shooting “Lenny”: Lenny Bruce’s wife Honey (former stripper—watch the movie and you’ll know where his choreography comes from) was busted for drugs, and despite being assured by her lawyer that she would get off she was sentenced to a couple years in prison. Fosse…

No, I use my Personal Engraving Notator.

I used to go camping in Quebec, where you had to give your license plate number to the ranger at the post, so oddly enough I can best remember my number in French. 514? 541? No, “cinq quatorze”.

I actually would like to see this, it’s playing in my town but I’m busy for the next week,  so it will probably disappear and I’ll never find out the truth about Berien...

Or you could use the non-data-using Writing It Down app, which will not hang around on your phone forever.

I’m with Wreckracer. I’m not entirely convinced that Cersei and Jaime are dead and wouldn’t be surprised to see Cersei, at least, come staggering out of the rubble.

Cat Video Film Fest! A travelling show, it’s the perfect antidote to feeling bad about anything except not having a cat.

I couldn’t tell whether the imperfect American accent was the fault of Jodie Comer, or the fault of Villanelle herself. Ironically, some Russians are able to speak perfect unaccented English. I don’t know how they do it; maybe you have to be specially trained by the KGB (different initials now, I know).

I would have been confused too at the sight of a revolving pillar of meat.

A colleague of mine moved to New York from Hawaii, where her husband still works. They meet up in Cheyenne.

When I was widowed and did not have a regular job I kept a record for a couple years of everything I spent, including every quarter that went into a parking meter. For some of those categories above I spent nothing or very little. With a pre-teen child I spent a lot in other areas. The idea, though, is not that you…

What IS a subscription box?

He sure has been working out, though. Yowza!

From my time in karate, a person with 20-25 years more experience can certainly take care of an overeager teen.

And a card: “In memoriam, Luke Perry.” I hope their idea is as good as yours.
