This was me watching the episode:

If you do decide not to have a photographer, don’t “Ask a guest.” Your guests are supposed to be there to enjoy your wedding and celebrate with you, not be pushed into doing a job you didn’t want to pay for. Would you ask a guest to be your bartender, waiter, or busboy? Hire someone or be 100% okay with iPhone…

My fanfic version of Mary’s end game is that she’s eventually married a second son from a good family. Since he’s a second son who won’t inherit, he went into the navy and became an engineer because he’s a huge math nerd. Being an engineer, he sees the future is in industrialization/steam powered ships. So he uses his…

Trump is an empty, grease-stained McDonald’s bag borne aloft by a stray breeze. He cannot control his direction, and his current height is due to the vagaries of chance. I guess the point I’m driving at is, he is literal garbage and his garbage-ness is so fundamental to his being that I don’t think he can actually…

Along with a very memorable guest appearance on BSG, where his one episode as a martinet promoted beyond of his capabilities was good enough to have Charlie Jane Anders rank Commander Barry Garner as one of the all time great incompetent space captains.

And on the French side of the packaging “Sans Nom” - which means I frequently have to tackle my friend and pull the marker out of his hand as he tries to edit the packaging to read “Sans NomNomNom”.

I came here just to say this! Perhaps we Canadians are all millennials at heart.

Luna should have had her own house and it would be called The Best House and you could only be in it by being the absolute best, which is why only Luna is there and maybe Ginny the end

Not gonna, lie, I’m a huge fan of Ella Fitzgerald and if my ovaries ever decide to get off the bench and I make a female human being, Ella is at the top of the list of possible kid names.

Cupcakes are great if they’re simple. The current monstrosities we call cupcakes — half the size of your head and loaded with more frosting than cake — are ridiculously hard to eat and painfully overpriced.

She was a delight in that! And it’s a great show to binge watch

I mean hate the Kardashians all you want, and certainly hate the culture that allowed them to become a thing, but honestly they have kind of worked to monetize their identities and they have been fairly savvy and diligent about it. I feel like they are unfairly maligned for exploiting our own cultural failings and…

I googled it and I want it.

Charleston Receipts (solid cookbook) came out in 1950 and my 90 year old neighbor in NC still called them receipts a few years ago. I have a feeling Coppola is using “recipe” because modern movie goers aren’t familiar with the term “receipts” unless Southern or into food in general.

It was definitely still “receipt” during the Civil War—-I’m pretty sure it didn’t become recipe until the 1960s, and even later in some parts of New England and rural northern towns. I’ve heard my grandmother mention receipt as recipe before—-she doesn’t use it anymore, but as an example of a “book of receipts that…

If “Upstairs Downstairs” and “Downton Abbey” are to be believed, “receipt” was still the pronunciation in the UK through the 1920's. Perhaps it changed to “recipe” in the US much earlier.

You should check out Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Someone yelled a mean, fat shaming thing at me from their car two weeks before my wedding. I was walking from the gym, in my gym clothes, to the restaurant where we were having our rehearsal dinner to confirm the menu. I cried for days. My husband was with me. I felt humiliated, as though he maybe hadn’t known that…
