...pretty sure glynda wonklefuss is the new reporter at the daily prophet

your talk of safety reminds me of when i was a lifeguard in undergrad and taught both swim lessons and cooking lessons to the montessori that operated out of the YMCA i was at. as i was even younger and more pigheaded at that point in my life, i scoffed at the idea that you couldn’t say “NO” to the montessori kids…

your questions/arguments are totally valid— that’s exactly how i felt at the time she said it to me. she also asked me if this person, in his capacity, was really effecting my ability to do my job and the answer to that was no, he wasn’t, i just didn’t like that he wasn’t working as hard as i was or given as much…

she told me that almost ten years ago and at that time and at the age, i thought it was the most passive, avoidant thing i’d ever heard and it made me so angry. but after a few years it sunk in and the simple beauty of it has really stayed with me. 

a couple of things:

thank you for outlining the details because i am too lazy but also: he was the “boss” like that was an excuse, so if you’re just some dude on set this would be perfectly acceptable because you’re not in charge of payroll/hr/safety etc? he is like the city of boston became sentient and ambulatory and it’s every bit as…

i had a bike wreck with an open fracture to my left big toe four years ago on july 2nd. they had to remove the nail but missed the fracture until the radiologist reviewed it. when i went to my GP for my first follow up a week later, the first thing out of her mouth was “you broke your toe?!” and i said “no, just…

i just gave both of my dogs a haircut after the wiener put himself in jail after a twelve minute walk. jack russell pissed on my brand new couch when i told her it was her turn for a haircut so i guess somebody’s going to start wearing a fucking diaper all the time now.

solo was worse. my friends took me to it (for their third viewing) and were like DIDN’T YOU LOVE IT and i was like “...[you paid for my ticket because you spoil me and i don’t want to be rude]...i’m still processing it, trying to figure out where it fits in the canon...”

my only comfort is they had to bring in acting…

nope, sorry, that’s a kick straight to the balls (or vag)-- the human mouth is a filthy place and you will not risk my eyesight NOPE

AGREED-- and i was having a conversation with a friend the other day lamenting that if he had been in the guest category i think he would have gotten one of those “body of work” type recognition awards for this and for fargo :(

i am so with you on this BUT i found out why— he was in six episodes, so after the whole peter macnicol debacle last year (he was nominated for guest actor but was in five out of the ten episodes, so 50%+ of the season), he wound up being nominated as supporting instead of guest. i think he would have had guest actor…

and it’s closer to a straight up comedy than the trailers would have you believe. the showrunner also worked on in the loop and the thick of it, so it’s got that sort of “oh holy jesus these are terrible people but also i’m still laughing what is wrong with me” vibe to it.

he needs to submit that whole “listen, i’m not a smart guy, but, i like, know things...” diatribe for his emmy reel!

he is the poster boy for limiting hypoxic sets, that boy’s brain lost WAY too much oxygen

i’m sure i’ve posted this pic before but it is my favorite of her...just captures her perfectly 

oh agreed, it’s more deviousness than anything else. the problem in our house is that she’s very smart for a jack, and he’s extra dumb for a dachshund so the bell curve is even more exaggerated...

i got my first jack when i was 13, now i’m 35 and on my second. i thought my dachshund was an asshole for the longest time before i realized that i’m just so accustomed to the extremely intelligent, sneaky, devious terrier mind that i was misinterpreting my doxie’s dumbness for dickishness. 

ok team— i need new bras, cause thanks to estrogen, i’ve gone up a cup and a band size. i’m not terribly distressed about it but i have a twofold question:

i watched it this morning and actually said to my dogs “oh look, it’s quinn and rachel throw someone under the bus o’clock time!”
