Untouchable. Still my all time favorite band.

God I wish that Chinese satellite had fallen on D.C.

Hand to God, I thought Vogue Knitting was a parody and that cover was a spoof.

Yet another reason I’m glad I don’t watch this show. How ridiculous that people are throwing out an appliance because of a fictional TV show.

I wish the nasal swab was a more widely used option.

Ha! You and my husband.

I was a fan of that show when it was on, too. I thought the writing was very meta and funny. However, the stereotyping of the female leads are fairly cringeworthy.

“To put it bluntly, Rey is the fresh IP this franchise so desperately needs, and Kylo Ren wants in on the ground floor.”

Thank you. So done with the Brianna-bashing. She’s a rather abrasive character when we meet her as 20-year old in the book, anyway. I think they rather played down that on TV.

To write a semi-historical novel that doesn’t portray the way women and other races were actually treated during the time period would be disingenuous, no?

I’ve found DG’s writing style different from most historical fiction (I don’t read romance). Sometimes it annoys me though, like she throws in SAT words just show how smart she is, or to prove it’s not your usual Harlequin romance novel. Sometimes it’s engrossing and flows well, and other times misses the mark and…

I’m laughing my ass off reading your synopsis - I had a flashback of my BF ranting much like this about a show called “Thirtysomething”. It ran from 87-91, was very popular and possibly set the precedent for these kind of dramas. Everyone loved it except for a handful of people that saw it as garbage for the very…

As I slip an apron over her mane of chocolate-brown hair, for which Pantene has paid her millions, and tie it around her tiny waist, I wonder whether her legions have felt for years the same sharp pang of protectiveness that I’m feeling at present.

OH! My beloved Community!

I had one that looked just like that. Her name was Ruthie. I loved her.

This is THE SHOW around my department. I was told it’s “heartbreakingly good”. Yeah, any TV show or movie that’s described as “heartbreaking”, I pass on. Real life is heartbreaking enough, gimme guffaws or blowing things up.

I have no desire to see this movie. In fact I don’t think I’ve seen any Ryan Gosling movie. Not even that Notebook one. And I’m a middle-aged white woman. Weird, huh?

I can attest to that. After being single I moved in with and married a guy in my early 30s that I should not have at all. I settled. 10 years of mostly deep unhappiness, tension and resentment until we finally realized we were so wrong for each other. We had a had a house, but luckily no kids. I vividly recall the…

Who loves ya, baby?
