She sounds enthusiastic!

I’m in for the bookends, but I’m not reading Outlander a third time. Perhaps I’ll finally read the [third? fourth? whichever I’m on] in solidarity.

Please let Drew Magary help.

Right? Unless we can agree that sometimes “D” stands for “Douchebag.”

PLUS I do love it when Kenneth Branagh gets to chew scenery.

Do you have a favorite Marple portrayal? I haven’t seen any of the Julia McKenzie, but I enjoyed both Geraldine McEwan and Joan Hickson. Ms. Hickson’s Marple had a gentle shrewdness that McEwan’s lacked, though Ms. McEwan’s energy and sparkle made up for it.

There was no room for me to be mediocre or to be learning the basics of something new, because you’re not allowed to be background when you’re the Only Girl. I started to exclude myself from things simply because I didn’t have the…

Not to be flip, but I had no idea this was even a thing outside that one joke in Anchorman.

I was a charcoal purist until my husband pointed out that waiting an hour to get the coals juuuuuuuuust so for the two burgers we wanted to throw on there was a waste of time and resources, and now I’m all in on gas.
