*Raises hand*. I am old, I was there. Freddy was a mesmerizing force of nature on stage, you could not take your eyes off him. Who the hell else could take a vocal warm up with that incredible voice and make an audience call and response...the world over? I still miss Freddy.

nouvlesse has been diligently posting these deep dives on the forum for some time. The detail and lore has been fascinating. Lord knows that I never read most of the codexes I picked up in the game. I was good with “DA4: we’re coming for you, Egghead.” Reading through nouvlesse’ work is like studying the cliff notes…

This past summer, while the Hubs and I were on our annual Okanagan holiday, was the first time Instagram Influencers showed up at one of the spa resorts we treat ourselves to. I have never seen an influencer in action and it’s kind of horrifying to watch. The makeup is just so, full on slap at all times. The hair is…

Every time Maryanne would say ‘Doctor Dick’ it was like she was spitting nails instead of speaking. I love Christine.

She has always treated terribly in the press. God forbid that the problem lay with Eastwood, that stoic heroic manly man. Sondra deserved far better than a piece of shit obit like this.

My kids are in their 30's now, but every year they inventory my little tree for their preschool-made pipe cleaner candy canes and dry dough art ornaments. My daughter even ‘rearranges’ them just so because clearly I never learned.

My heart goes out to you and your wife. My daughter and her husband are in a similar situation. Their circle of friends are all in the throes of pregnancy/birthing babies and have either dropped the friendship cold or cooled it down because “we don’t want you to feel awkward because you can’t conceive too.” It is…

This is the movie I would watch.

I’d be worried that without the 6 human anchors Priyanka would take launch on a light breeze.

I was 15 when I read it, and it was hot off the presses then. It was an eye-opener for me into industry sexism, and sharply curtailed any plans I might have had of becoming a stew. It seems silly, but it sowed the first little seeds of feminism in me.

Glad to hear that Amanda is doing better. Still rooting for Heather to find solid ground again.

I found some Ruth Goodman documentary shows on YouTube and binged my ass off watching them. Ruth is badass when it comes to throwing herself into the full immersion time period experience. Love her.

I had forgotten about the biopic starring Stockard Channing as Kitty. Now I remember watching it in ‘79. Kitty was badass. Not only was she a fearless stuntwoman doing crazy stunts for Bionic Woman and then Wonder Woman, and whaddaya know besides...she’s deaf...but she broke land speed records, and water speed…

The lack of scars and stubble is rather jarring. Also, those cat eyes need more catting. I am hoping this is a preliminary look.

I still do an annual re-watch of LoM+AtA because Gene Hunt cracks me up.

After watching the gameplay vids and reading about RDR2 on this site, plus the nastiness of Rockstar’s crush I’ve come to the conclusion that AC Odyssey is the game for me. It fits more with my personal play style, bonus for Greece surroundings, and playing as a kickass female (I am an old kickass female) really…

Narcissistic sociopaths.

You must be doing keto like me. I have a serious hate for the foods that are supposed to be replacements for carb-y foods, like cauliflower rice and zucchini noodles. Spoiler: they do not taste ‘just like’ anything except cauliflower or zucchini. I am old and like my food to be just exactly what they are when they are…

I will sit here with you because I have never ever gotten the appeal of Cats the Musical. Is it a showcase of dance and song, or does it actually hang together with a plot of some kind? Over the decades whenever clips are aired it’s never been apparent to me. But I also read today that the BBC has a non-musical Les…

There is also the phenomenon that happens when you are so immersed in what you are working that when you look up again 2,3,4 hours have gone by when it seems like 15 minutes. My husband and I are lifelong geeks and both fall down that rabbit hole on a regular basis.
