I drove into Dallas today from northwest of Houston and had this very conversation. Houston itself is actually kind of great- very diverse, great food and museums. Dallas is a mean city with no heart and not a decent porch to be had anywhere.

Maria Bamford. She's brilliant and I love her, but how do you even explain what she does? If you try, it sounds like she'd be a huge bummer instead of a hilarious ray of goddamn sweetness and light.

People who don't know me won't trust me on Friday Night Lights because I'm from Texas and have a country-ass accent.
Seriously y'all, it's so good.

As an actual southern person of the white trash variety, all I have to say is "No shit."

That character has always reminded me a lot of my dad. I get the feeling some people find that to be a less than flattering comparison, but I couldn't disagree more.

As a grown woman with no kids, I support these findings based on conversations with my 3 year old niece. "Booty" is funny from the acquisition to speech to death.

I love this show, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Marianna Palka.

I love Peter Cook so much in the original that I've never seen the remake.
"You fill me with inertia."

Natural Child's For the Love of the Game, which is basically a super close up of a woman's ass. That doesn't bother me too much, but I used to car pool with a coworker, and he really liked the album, so presumably went home and got his wife to download it for him.

I mean, it's one avocado. What could it cost? Ten dollars?

-The little actress is a wonderful Anne.
-The bitchy teacher cracks me up. "Ugh. Sit down, you butcher of beauty."

I am also a teacher, and what I don't understand is how these are considered an appropriate therapeutic measure for any classroom environment. If you have to look at it, it isn't a fidget, it's a toy. I agree that lots of high energy kids benefit from having something to do with their hands, but I guess a piece of…

That comes up, but it's not really a focal point. It's really compelling, and very beautiful in parts. I think there are definitely some shades of exploitation, though.

Dammit, Buddy Threadgoode. You're a Republican, aren't you?

I'm reading the Neopolitan series by Elena Ferrante and really enjoying it. I absolutely love the bitchy story behind how they got the awful covers they have. I definitely was one of the people who skipped over them when I saw them in stores because I thought they looked like Jodi Picoult books. They're the perfect…

I was so bugged by the Unbroken movie because I thought the book made it really obvious that his most important accomplishment was not being a horrible, ruined person when it was all said and done. It really skipped over the most amazing part. Bummer.

Her shows are just a total lovefest. Everyone's just happy to be there. I lost one of my favorite earrings even though 10 strangers were helping me look for it. Then three drunken mamaws splashed their beers on me in their excitement. I wasn't even upset about it.

That guy from Brujos in the pic up top looks exactly like young Dylan Thomas.

That was some beautiful cursing. In Bruges is one of my favorite movies and Frances McDormand is a goddamn queen and I'll be first in line.

I still think Eugene may have enough starch in him to be faking it.
