did you also see The Saint at an impressionable age? I also definitely drew on the “only body heat can save us” theme, and I’m 90% sure that’s where it came from.

I’m seeing it for $37.95, both when searching and when following your link. Am I Amazoning wrong?

me too. I am inundated with Zubats. like, I actually get excited about a Rattata or a Spearow, just because it is not a Zubat. god, I wish we could trade these little bastards.

support from kind strangers like you is what carries me through this difficult time.

there is one thing worse than unsalted butter: unsalted butter that is from a different brand than you usually buy and this brand for some reason uses the exact opposite wrapper color scheme than the one you are used to and so you thought this bite of toast was going to be perfect but instead it just has essentially…

good luck, if/when you start trying! I know that anecdotes are not data, but to me they’re often comforting so I will offer this one: my best friend had chemo as a teenager and was told she had very near zero chance of ever getting pregnant;. fast forward a decade or so and she’s about to have her second child in 2…

our solution was a short medley. (in our case, it was two songs that were written for Bond movies, with a few bars of the Bond Theme in between, bc my husband is a huge Bond fan and that was the only thing he really wanted to decide on for the whole wedding.) we did an up-tempo (and super fun/dramatic) dance to Live…

yes! my friends and I call that halo the “Rooster Comb.” it cannot be tamed.

good news, fellow Hamilaria sufferer: there’s now a cure!

I hope you get to see it! I was lucky enough to be the new mother in the back row sobbing through the entire* show a few months ago. I was worried that it couldn’t possibly meet the expectations that hundreds of listens through the cast album had raised, but it easily exceeded them. Keep entering the lottery!

That’s funny—I also saw the show this spring (March), and saw Alysha filling in for Philippa as well. And my sister saw it in April, and someone else I know saw it in May, and Philippa wasn’t performing for any of those shows either. All different days of the week, some matinee some night performances, etc.

my baby, while in the proximity of this post:

as the mother of a 4-month-old, I can tell you that Japan’s McDonaldses are about to be full of people sucking on their straws for 3 seconds, then turning their heads to look straight into the ceiling light, and then screaming because the milk(shake) stopped, then remembering that they have to actually be involved in…

yesss! my friend’s 2-year-old had a similar interest in getting her dad to eat her cheerios. when he finally agreed to take one, she screamed “SHARING!!!” and grinned in triumph. so on the one hand, her definition of sharing is a little bit tyrannical, but at least she’s being generous?

if that were a bottle of vodka instead of a dog, I’d be fairly sure that that lady was Lucille Bluth.

Some days I’m photographed before I eat & look smaller, some days I’ve just eaten & I look bigger.

It’s always a hard challenge, like giving birth to a new child.

is he purposely becoming the human embodiment of Troll Face? is he double-trolling us? triple-trolling?

we would be the perfect team: I only like the cookie parts, and not the Stuf. my husband, for some reason, does not appreciate it when I scrape the Stuf off and smush it up into little balls and put it back inside the package. maybe you could explain to him that he’s being ungrateful.

if Taylor Swift named an animal after a character I played for 16 seasons, I wouldn’t bother with the humble part.
