And I eventually found it.

Nope. But because ‘prospective reader picks up book, notices woman wrote it, puts it back down’ is a thing that happens (not as much now as it used to be, but it’s still pretty bad), a lot of women will use their first two initials and last name as a gender-neutral pen name. And when the first Harry Potter book was…

Honestly, it’s even funnier given that she actually didn’t even have a middle name until she needed one for the second initial in her pen name. So it may as well be ‘Karen.’

Aside from Popeye’s and Chick-fil-A, basically none of these are near where I live. That said, I’ve eaten at First Watch on trips and it’s good to see they’re expanding well. I’ve always had a positive experience there. They’ve also probably got the best coffee I’ve ever had in a restaurant that wasn’t,like, a…

I’ve been waiting for this to come out on the Xbox, though I have been wondering... does this include the ‘guided imagery’ mission guest-starring Hideo Kojima that was PS4 (and hacked PC) exclusive? I’d heard in passing early on that that mission would be part of the season pass for Xbox players, but haven’t heard…

He also used to be a prolific artist for Legend of the Five Rings (particularly back in the AEG days) and was part of the community there, too. He did the artwork for one of my favorite cards, and I’ve got a playmat of that art signed by him. So that’s a pleasant memory of the game tainted now.

All I’m going to say is that I’d take Warren’s apology at face value if this had happened, like, just a couple of times over the years. I mean, a lot of folks have handled relationships badly, been assholes blind to their own privilege and unintentionally mistreated people even before mentor-mentee power dynamics…

Thank you very much, I really appreciate hearing that.

So I just got caught up via Netflix, and I really loved this episode and the prior one. Admittedly, I thought the season lagged slightly while they were focusing on gathering the pieces of the loom and such — it felt a little ‘garden-variety Supernatural plot’ to me, with a slight dip in the proper Legends…

I can’t help but imagine that someone floated the idea during the writing or production stages, only to get overruled by just how much trouble that would be to get right without using actual glitter, which means that they would still be cleaning it off of various costumes, props, and sets a couple of years from now.

So I’m a little behind schedule on this one, partially because I stream the episodes (legally) and the uploads have been coming on average a day later than they should be for some reason, partially because of just life getting in the way, and partially because I’ve had to rack my brain a bit trying to come up with a…

Oooh, this is a rough one for me, mostly because everyone kinda picked an even mix of stuff I love and stuff I could go either way on. Aimee squeaks it out with the ice cream sandwich/Klondike Krunch combo. (It’s close enough that had she chosen a plain, non-crunchy Klondike that might’ve been enough to change my…

We’ve got a few different locations here, but there’s one I wouldn’t be surprised if they closed it. Which is a shame, because between location and the store interior (also, the employees there like me) it’s probably the nicest. But last year a bunch of road work clearly took a chunk out of their sales because they…

Reminds me of some larger airports I’ve been in.

I’ll admit to eating at one every now and again, and that’s still pretty true. It’s pretty good comfort food if you’re not too picky; I mean, I wouldn’t try salmon at a Cracker Barrel any more than I’d expect a decent burger from a seafood place, but if you need something that’s just a blend of meat and sodium then…

I figure it’s less about Laszlo sleeping around and more about Laszlo sleeping around with witches. Though the bit where he couldn’t tell the difference between her and a disguised Lilith didn’t help.

I do think this is one of those ones where the individual jokes land better than the overall story. So ironically, moreso than some of the stronger episodes, this one inspired me pretty quickly for...

Well, dangit. Okay, then... It’s tough. It’s really close, there’s lots of great picks across all three of you, but I think Aimee squeaks out this one because she’s the only one where every tool on her list is something I either use regularly or something I would use regularly if I had the cabinet space to keep a…

Not gonna deny, it almost worked out in my favor that I lost track of things and missed the poll on this one, because I think I’d give myself a headache trying to choose who to vote for.

Few things remind me of how old I am than being reminded of ye olden times when I could get a footlong seafood and crab (which franchisees, at least around here, have relabeled ‘seafood sensation’) for $3.69. Also, the little cards with the stamps.
