So... a girl who used to be a boy? A boy who used to be a girl? A teenager? An adult? Any of the above?

It’s good. You see “Jennifer Coolidge” and expect her to be quirky and wacky, but the mother isn’t wacky at all. It’s a very subtle performance.

Wherever you are, if I come into your library I will head straight for the irresistible book sale... My community holds one twice a year, a quarter million items each time. (A much happier topic than our Schadenfreude over Nugent!)

I believe it was one of the Apollo 13 astronauts who later said that if they had been unable to return to earth or be rescued the plan was to for them to end their lives by letting the air out of the space capsule.

I had just stated watching “The Crown” so of course I had to continue with it in honor of Prince Philip. His development will be as intersting as the Queen’s.

There’s this new thing called hair spray... Guess Boris hasn’t heard of it.

Hey, I’m two years younger than Charles and I am not “pretty elderly” (just pretty)!

How I feel about every rapper or member of a ball team.

Conversely, there are some communities that can’t afford to reject a source of food.

I just want to groom my lemur with a toothbrush.

So, did the phrase originate with Joanne Greenberg? When the song came out I did used to think it was odd that they used the book title.

I feel like I have to check this out just to see a woman playing a 14-year-old boy, and because it finally gives Nasim Pedrad a showcase.

I once drove behind a pickup truck with a cap that had a plastic rear window. The sun glare off the window was so intense that I wondered whether a highway cop ought to give out a ticket. Sounds silly, perhaps, but it really was a hazard.

I started to watch the old Clone Wars cartoon, which I had never seen before, and while the flat animation was a bit jarring at first the pacing and action and visual angles were perfectly fine. However, after about 5 minutes my Macbook warned that the website was using a lot of computer memory and perhaps I should…

Forget that one - see the 1950 version with Deborah Kerr, Stewart Granger, and a man who must have really been an African prince. Or the 1930s version starring Paul Robeson!

I have been loyally, and stoutly, watching all my previously unwatched Popcorn Champs, even as they have devolved into superheroes/explosions, but I am going to have to draw the line at The Dark Knight. I don’t dispute its artistry or Heath Ledger’s powerful performance - it’s hard to remember that the ”Dark Knight”…

What I want to know is, why do I only get it on one foot and not the other?

My introduction to Beverly Cleary came in 6th grade with “Fifteen”. In 1963 the world of a 15-year-old girl in 1956 was already a bit quaint, but Cleary had a way of making real life nonetheless wonderfully real. Qualms about not being pretty enough, or smart enough, or the seduction of being superficial because…

Somebody published a Hogwarts Haggadah. Four cups of wine, four Houses.

Ve gam lekhah!
