“I’m going to be on television!” (IYKYK)

When I think “great movie moms” I automatically think of Ralphie’s mom in A Christmas Story. So put out (“My mother hadn’t eaten a hot meal for herself in fifteen years”), tough (the lifebuoy soap) but affectionate (“Daddy’s not going to kill Ralphie”), and just generally doing her best against impossible odds (“Well,…

Twice - both times I got a barely-concealed condescending and dismissive smirk when I told them the model of my iPhone which was [snigger] two versions back of the current one.

Yeah, I’ve had variations of that happen too - songs I know for a fact that I removed/deleted will randomly reappear to junk up my library. For a company that jerks itself off about how great its user experiences are, it’s frankly stunning how garbage iTunes is

I lob a Hobgoblin pumpkin bomb in your general direction

I’m listening to it right now... thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Requiem for a Dream has to figure on the Worst list as well.
