Had my dad not already been in the ICU for another thing when he went through alcohol withdrawal, it likely would have killed him; until then, I didn’t realize how tough that process is on the body. Although I never watched True Blood, I thought Ellis did a fantastic job as Shinwell, on Elementary. Very sad loss.

Corn is the best. I buy it fresh off the back of a truck at the farmer’s market this time of year:

And have EMINENTLY GIF-ABLE facial expressions while doing it! Love her.

This show is fantastic. Niecy BRINGS IT in both comedy and drama, I hope she gets some serious recognition for this work. The script has a whole bunch of sharp little claw marks in it — my favorite is “Malala ain’t got nuttin’ on you, boo” in episode 3.

Was a rough day at Veridian Dynamics for Lem!

I think it actually is. From Better Off Ted, great and underrated show, cancelled too soon.

I bet Princess Noor is the HUGEST fan of Flaritza’s YouTube channel.

I once had a praying mantis under my seat at Memorial Stadium. It was the IU football highlight of my undergrad.

Just finished ep 1 and came here for this! Niecy can do it, she’s good.

Add to large bowl with one bag of pre-packaged coleslaw mix. Crush the raw ramen noodles and add to bowl. Mix well. I also add a heaping handful of…

The tradition here (Great Lakes region) is to soak them in salt water for an hour or so. Very important. Make sure they’re submerged. Anything that shouldn’t be living in your morels will be out of there by the time they’re done; the brine also gives a little flavor. Then dry well with paper towels (carefully! those…

You are not alone; another friend of mine thinks he is “too even-keeled.”

Yes! It looks like they aged him up a little, in the trailer? But yeah, was older in my mind’s eye (although it’s been YEARS since I read the book)...

Very happy to see Daniel Bruhl get a starring role here, he’s always solid. Looks fantastic, can’t wait. The book was excellent.
