The actor who plays the professor played Mark Smeaton on The Tudors. There are few figures in history more pathetic than poor Mark Smeaton. This makes me not take anything the professor is saying seriously. Dumb reason, but there you go.

This episode drove me nuts. What I originally liked about TVD is that Elena had a lot of agency. Even though she often made stupid choices they were her choices and she saved herself more often than not. She was willing to sacrifice herself for the good of her friends, which is how we got in this mess to begin…

You should take a listen to Carol King's album "Tapestry," where the song was first released. Every song on it is a hit. Amazing album.

Well there goes my weekend. Thank you!

I thought Bobby Canavale was with Sutton Foster? It was the stuff that Broadway baby dreams are made of.

The other day in downtown Asheville the local animal shelter had some dogs out and one was an adorable 2-month old terrier mix named Hannah. That dog was so freaking cute it made me consider both getting a terrier and keeping the name Hannah.

Sometimes Pandora plays the perfect song. As I read this Lily Allen's "Fuck You" is playing. I am singing it at the picture of that mansion.

My parents moved when I was in college and then again this year after my dad's retirement. I haven't gone home to "my hometown" or "my childhood home" in well over 12 years. The concept is almost foreign to me. But, I still found this hilarious. Very well done, if only the rest of the episode could have lived up…

This sketch was so close, but felt like it was a couple drafts and rehearsals from being show-ready (but, to be fair, everything Renner was involved in last night felt that way, dude was awkward). My favorite part of the sketch was Taran Killam being in it, since his wife was in the actual movie.

I think a good example of this is Damon Wayans Jr. Happy Endings was all but dead after the first season but ABC kept the option. Meanwhile he filmed the pilot of New Girl, which was picked up. ABC went ahead and renewed Happy Endings for a second season, so Wayans had to leave New Girl and go back to the original…

Ooooooo She's going to be so mad when Brenda shows up in the same dress to the Formal.

Guys, let's not concentrate on the amount of time they have been together, we don't know their life. My parents have been married 35 years and got married 11 weeks after their first date. Stuff happens.

They filmed the 30 Rock wedding at the church across the street from my apartment, so I've been primed for this news. One mystery, the trailer I passed was for "Cerie," "Jonathan," and "Replacement Hazel." Replacement Hazel?!?

We have lots of black squirrels in NYC. They are tough MFers, but no one knows where they come from.

Yes! I have never understood why people see ET with such wonder. I have always found it terrifying.

No Ewan! Armadillos can give you leprosy. Back away! (I know I'm being slightly hyperbolic, but I love me some Ewan)

Jeff Buckley "Grace," Nina Simone

Ha! This was my paper writing album back in the day. I can totally see how it works for sex times though.

I love me some Mary. Everyone should read Margaret George's historical fiction bio of her. It is juicy. Some nit picks in this article, her mother Marie de Guise did not join Mary in France since she was regent back in Scotland. And poor Mary was hardly a warrior queen. She was present at a few battles, but they…

Lasse Hallstrom directed Dear John as well. What does Nicholas Sparks have on him?
