I gave up fighting the internet last night and just drove up to the theatre and waited in line. $65 later, I was a happy little Jawa.

I’ve been trying to convince people to go to the marathon with me. I’ve had one taker, which is more than I thought I’d get. :D

Yeeeeessssssss! (Or the Love Boat!)

Was there something else about the leotard that made it Jewish-themed, except for it being blue? I understand the rest of the outfit adds to that but I just don’t see the leotard itself as particularly themed. Of course I am an old curmudgeon, so that could be it.

Thank you for the well wishes! And no need to apologize in the slightest. I very much appreciate all the information! It clears a lot up that I had vaguely processed from listening to people on and off, most of which seems to have been wrong. :)

Was Chastain’s role one of those whitewashed in casting The Martian? (Please don’t tell me to just Google it. It’s my birthday and I’m miserable.) As I said down below in relation to Mara, she certainly has a right to complain about being underpaid but doing so while taking roles from minorities sort of sours me on…

She had no problem cashing that paycheck. You have to wonder how Native American actresses feel about Mara complaining about her pay while taking whitewashed roles.

I haven’t heard anyone use the word “haint” in a very, very long time. :D

The Rankin-Bass stuff is far, far less depressing.

All the Qdobas around here shut down years ago. We’re left with the desolation of Chipotle (where I have never eaten) and Moe’s, which is always pretty gross.

Because it’s awesome.

Wait, weren’t we just lamenting these things earlier this week? How am I supposed to know where I stand on this if we keep waffling all the time.

Was there supposed to be a joke in that Tweet? I just don’t get it.

I had totally forgotten about watching that on semi-scrambled pay channels in the 80s.

I had a very similar experience. Except in my case it was Duran Duran and the Cranberries. :(

That makes two of us who feel that way. :D

This is not getting the love it deserves.

I don’t understand the derision some people like to throw at adults who go to theme parks. Family environments aren’t just for kids. Not to mention adults like to have some fun, too. And, most definitely, the booze-laden offerings of the Epcot Food & Wine Festival and Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights aren’t for the…

I really want to say something about the two trap songs and the track “I’m Straight”. Not in a jerk way, by any means, but it’s a hard post to phrase without sounding like an ass. A friend of mine struggled with something like what I’m imagining here, and I am probably way off base since by even making this post…

ZOMG! Kitteh!
