What cream did you use to make the butter— grocery store cream or farm cream? I hit up an Amish market last weekend and found their dairy to be phenomenal. (They make a 10-pound log of butter, and it's amazing butter.) I'm now considering making my own butter if I can find good cream, though I'm a little paranoid…

He was in a terrible accident. After facial reconstruction, he looked entirely different! Also somehow he grew taller and leaner.

Natalia/Bucky? I can only hope.

M-O-O-N, that spells cathedral!

It was damn pretty to look at though. Roger Deakins is a god.

Begin Again is listed as a romcom on Netflix, but happily, it does not end up as one. It was a delightful movie.

She's a shimmering, glowing star in the studio firmament. (It says so. Right there.)

I came up with some on my Long Walk this morning.

If there are no other Boggy Creek monsters for this one to touch and love before he(she?) dies, how did we end up with the little creature?

I hate that open-wider-than-it-should mouth thing. HATE IT, probably disproportionately, but it keeps coming on TV and movies out of nowhere, and it gets me almost every time, and I end up shutting my eyes and screaming "GODDAMMIT!"

Those Rilian bondage and torture scenes were certainly eye-opening for tiny cereselle.

I can't hear "Now we're cooking with gas!" without mentally inserting "evil." It's impossible.

He and Bucky can commiserate.

But the winner will always be WALT!

I stopped watching the Simpsons years ago. Has it come around to being good again, or should I continue not-watching?

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?

In the book, there was environmental radiation (from a war? Nuclear plant meltdown? It was never explained) resulting in an epidemic of infertility, which is why the whole Handmaid thing came about. The Handmaids were all women who had given birth to healthy babies in the recent past, but there weren't many of them.

I love reading Adam's comments! I am sad now. :(

I always think of Rick Ross the cult deprogrammer, which confused me greatly the first time I heard of anyone being a Rick Ross fan. I mean, cult deprogramming is a good thing, but I'd be surprised if anyone knew enough about it to be a fan.

If loving the HT for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is wrong, I don't want to be right. An ape on horseback wielding two machine guns fighting a tank!
