I just wished the 2016 movie had been something more along the lines of what fans were speculating: that they were franchisees in someplace other than NYC that had only moderate paranormal activity until the big event puts a set of Regular-Jane working stiffs (and one mad tinkerer who’s always trying to improve the…

I’ve decided that the pooch was unwisely given away on Craigslist and he’s chipped. The vet he’s taken to by his new family documents his injuries and turns over the info to someone investigating a rumoured dog fighting ring and the info from the previous owners is the link they needed to track them all down and put…

That movie is so weird and sweet and romantic.

Elsa is the only ruler who could invade Russia in the winter...

It’s kind of like the concept of a militant agnostic.

I haven’t read that one, but the deliberate messaging in the series is addressed in the book I mentioned.

I highly recommend Pioneer Girl, the first-draft of Laura’s autobiography.
It is a fairly straightforward timeline of her life before she and her daughter fictionalized and sanitized everything. Even better, the annotations provide more information about the people, places and events portrayed in the books and who…

It’s not that weird a parent-child Hollywood age gap.

I think I'd have taken Ms Washing to my home and called in a noise complaint enroute.

Those jades went straight to me heart.

I’m just guessing.

It’s hard for people who don’t live there to realize that it’s a geographical area and is larger than many European countries. Yet they expect such a large and diverse place to be homogeneous. It’s laughable really.  On the whole the state really is verging on purple, but rampant gerrymandering for decades makes it…

Hooboy, you know that both he and Sammy are going to really kick into high gear when the baby’s born! “Why won’t you let him be part of the faaaaaaaaaaaamily! We just want to sponge attention off our relation to love him!” I can hear it now.

Protip: you can fold a thin pantiliner over the band of your bra under the arms for similar results....if you get bad underboob sweats, you can fold them in half longways and tuck in to bottom of your bra cups. Not for use under translucent clothes!) When I have to look respectable and deal with heat, I’ll keep a pack…

My EXACT first thought! Wanna plan a wacky caper together to Save Christmas (decor)? You bring the ping-pong balls, I'll bring the pipecleaners and stepladder.

Men in Tights also has just about the best King Richard...

I bought a full set of vintage sterling flatware. It’s not something that I need, but it makes me happy to shine it up and set the places on on a fancy linen tablecloth on special occassions. The sound of the flatware as it clinks against the dishes is musical and it helps to elevate the entire experience. (It helps th…

I’ve often wondered if small “donations” like 1 cent actually ends up costing money in banking fees.

Am I alone in wanting something really, REALLY BAD to happen to Kamilla?

I love it.  You just put them on a rack, add a cup of water, set the time (7 minutes for my preferred doneness) and when the time is up you release pressure and pop ‘em into ice water to chill.  I do about a dozen at a time to add to the salads I pack for work during the week.
