Don't forget Tati's Britney Spears, which was surprisingly excellent, not just because it was Britney, but also because it was Tati.

I already have it in my notes for next week!
Yeah, I guess I wasn't clear in what I was trying to point out there. I like thinking that it secretly guts Phillip a little that his son is into a sport that's so Soviet-identified, presumably because of the U.S. beating the Soviets. Whether or not it's intentional on the writers' part, it adds a neat bit of shading…
Looks like I'm reading the original translation, by Constance Garnett. It was the free version available in the Kindle store. Considering I have absolutely nothing to compare it to, it seems pretty okay!
Can someone clarify for me whether being trans is considered taboo in drag? I have a vague notion that I've heard that it is, but I can't recall where or why exactly—something having to do with "performing" vs. "passing"—but the way everyone reacted to Monica, like she was doing something very brave, made me wonder. I…
I'd be in favor of an Undercover that was just 25 bands doing different versions of "He Loves U Not."
I've listened to Same Love, and I say specifically in the blurb that "Thrift Shop" isn't really representative of the rest of his stuff. I don't think calling this one song somewhat silly is dismissing Macklemore as an artist. We're going on a song-by-song basis here.
My roommate has been playing it on pretty much a continuous loop for the past week, so I've heard it probably 50 times since writing this. The fact that I'm nowhere near sick of it makes me think I should have given it at least an A-.
I've never seen Felicity. My affection for Russell begins and ends with the movie Waitress.
See above re: mom jeans.
Comments are one thing; Twitter replies and Facebook messages, which I still get on pretty much a weekly basis, cross the line.
I could delete you, but I won't, because I want everyone to see how obnoxious you are.
What a waste of "Party In The USA." Did anyone see on Twitter, Ru said they recorded a version of the song that changed it to "And a RuPaul song was on," but they couldn't get clearance? I'm going to sing it that way forever in its honor.
You know who you are.
I wrote this fully aware that 99 percent of you commenters would hate it, but I don't care, it makes me cackle uncontrollably. And I'm fine with that.
I'm sort of kicking myself for not including it now, because the Dan and Darlene thing in particular is amazing. But I only wanted to pick one of those "heavy" episodes, as well as a later-period one, so I went with "Lies." But yeah, I love that episode.
That was Noel's excellent Very Special Episode on "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home," which is linked in the final graf.
Yeah, that's "Like A Virgin" which is in the next 10. I originally had it on my main list, because it's really great, but had to make room for other stuff. Definitely top 10 in my heart, though.
Swoon indeed. I figured since my middle name is Marian, it was meant to be.
Ugh, yeah, I know, symptom of our editing/publishing schedule. FWIW, I wrote it last Thursday!
