Can I just go to bed until November?

It definitely teaches you to never lend money to your boyfriend or co-sign for someone else’s car.

Sometimes a big lug is just what you want.

One of the very rare times my gaydar worked. Even though we’ve seen her friend before, this time I got the vibe. Yay me.

It is basically a large jelly doughnut, but it might have a cream filling instead. I never saw them in largely Slavic Pittsburgh, but they’ve been in upstate New York for at least a couple of decades. I do think it’s too early for hot cross buns, though.

I often wonder, though, where documentation ends and sadistic fantasies begin.

The tomatoes might keep better without freezer burn if you pour them into a freezer bag and seal it up so there is little or no air inside. It doesn’t matter if it’s just half a cup. Then you can just defrost (partially is fine) the whole bag and pour the contents into whatever you need stewed tomatoes for. You can…

I am currently in the middle of “Circe”. Brilliant, chilly. I haven’t read Song of Achilles but may give it a go. Just finished “Ancient Magic: a practitioner’s guide to the supernatural in Greece and Rome” by Philip Matyszak, which is both witty and well-informed. I’m also reading Elaine Sciolino’s “The Seine: the Riv…

I began watching The Clone Wars, not having seen any of it when it was on earlier, so I thought I’d start catching up from the beginning. Of course I did exactly what they tell you not to do, i.e. stare at the laptop right before going to bed, so there were various monsters and creatures from my own imagaination…

Tom Clancy basically said the same thing after 9/11 when he was queried about a scenario in one of his novels that had terrorists flying planes into skyscrapers. “There are enough cockamamie ideas out there already, you don’t need me to think them up.”

I have seen “Any Responsible Adult 2020".

I knew about this at the time, yet I’ve never been able to see the scars.

The viewer has to accept this as unabashed silliness, Mad Magazine-style, or there’s no point in watching it.

This all makes me nervous. I saw a copy of my birth certificate about 40 years ago and as I recall it had no first name on it because I hadn’t been named yet. In any event, my first name was different than the one I use now, but I changed it as a teenager (by common law, i.e I just started using the new name), so by 18…

Just finished watching Newman’s original Narcos series, so depending on who stars in it, this could be excellent.

I’ve been going to the movies alone for decades. In small theatres I sit in the back row so no one will sit behind me. I have a cookie or bring a cocktail in a thermos (by the time the movie is over, I’m sober). I get my money’s worth and stay through the end credits.

For the record, Our President’s mother may have been an American citizen when he was born, but she was born in another country (Scotland) and grew up speaking a language other than English (Gaelic).

Fun fact: this Silver Fox may be the first person of Maori descent to win an Oscar, but legend of the silver screen Merle Oberon was part Maori and was also nominated.

I didn’t like Kristen Wiig’s side-boob.

Sadly, this more or less happened to my 80-year-old uncle while on his daily walk. At least poor Orson died quickly.
