Geena Davis is 63 goddam years old. I would pay a king’s ransom for access to her upkeep team.

OTOH, I have a friend there who bought an honest to god not a wreck house there for 56k (no, I did not forget a number) and I stare at my fixer-upper that wiped out all my cash and wonder why I bought in a supposedly “booming” city.

I’m glad it helped somebody. All it did for me was to get depressed about people I’d dated not really seeing me as a—ya know—“person.”

Ooooh, yes, palomas for the win. First time I had one, I was living in Mexico and I was like what have I been doing with my life??

It’s like when protestors blocked off a highway in Atlanta and a friend was just outraged saying, “Don’t they know they’re just making everyone mad?” And I was like, their children are dying and no one fucking cares, dude.

I’m an elder millenial and I heard this in middle school and I was like, Hey, yeah, why does that cop get ask me why I’m not in school (it was MLK Day) and tell me to get out of here? Probably part of my continued questioning of authority.

I had to double check he wasn’t talking about Atlanta . . . god we sunbelt cities suck.

Poor thing. I saw the second plane hit and lost people in the towers and it always seemed cruel in that modern way how many times I’ve had to see them fall again and again.

Meh. If you take highways a lot, yes, it’s horrible. This is why I ditched my car and moved in town and I bike to work or take MARTA, it’s great. We’ve got two seasons of good weather and the best chicken and waffles on the planet. 

His “fans” call him “Matty Ice” for fucks sake.  

I don’t care. The AtlantaUnited games are fun and I don’t have to drive to Cobb County to watch a game that makes me feel complicit in racism.

I did a heated cycle class once as a favor to a friend who was really into it and had a pass. I was pretty sure it wasn’t for me but hoooo booy did I hate it. Loud music and a very peppy person up front screaming about how we need REACH FOR IT, CHASE YOUR DREAMS, PUSH FOR IT, PUSH!!!! I don’t know what “it” beyond…

I don’t remember much pop culture from 1999. I do remember a high school buddy got it in his head he wanted to watch the sundown on one coast and sunrise over the other on 1/1/2000. So we raced to Florida and turned right at some point, watched the sunset and then raced to FL’s east coast, blasting Aquemini on repeat…

This. 40+% of Kentuckians told Mitch to go kick rocks in 2014 and people are riled up these days. Remember, they are barely winning, often because they cheat *side-eyes Georgia.*

Oops, just remembered you’re referencing the actual movie, apologies. But my other response still contains truth. 

That’s great, mazel tov! What I meant was as time marches on and the stuff that would have wrecked you in your teens/20s but then similar stuff happens when you start sliding into your 40s/50s just gets a raised eyebrow and an “eh. I’ve seen worse.” Which I think Olympia Dukakis played to perfection here.

You are only going to understand her more and more as time passes. (That’s not a bad thing.)

I lived in Oaxaca for several years and the weirdest shit would just happen and I had friend from Mexico City who had moved there for her husband’s job and we’d look around at the pink fog, frog plague, iguana’s learning a human word or what the fuck ever and she’d say, “Gabriel García Márquez and his ‘vivid…

I watch this through the CW app and two minutes in, I got that pre-tears sting in my nose, so I paused and very wisely grabbed three tissues. Such a lovely show. 

This is the only romcom I’ve ever watched where we got to the end and thought, there’s no way this is going to last . . . *shrug* but what a way to go . . .
