Scrooged 2: Billectric Booga Wu

Star Wars Hammerhead Action Figure.

TOTALLY. I haven’t been able to keep up with the show as much as I would like, but Yolanda’s devotion to David always seemed so incredibly sincere. And despite his appearing to, I felt I could never really get an accurate read on whether or not David felt the same.

I really loved this episode for two reasons. 1.) The very real threat of the zombies the whole time - I was on the edge of my seat. 2.) The conversations Deanna was able to have with Rick and Michonne. Especially Michonne.

I think the show has done a good job with showing various ways the ZA has affected children and adolescents. Children are highly adaptable, yes, but so too are they impressionable. Sophia was an unfortunate victim of a very dangerous situation. Lizzie had some sort of psychotic break. Ron is so stubborn and intensely…

This has been Carol’s approach for a long time though and I get it. The needs of the many outweigh the few. They’ve set Carol’s philosophy on this point well—consider Karen, David, and even Lizzie.

In my classroom we also a couple autoharps. Remember those? I would have fought you for it. It was my fave.

Yeah, me too! It’s interesting how the use of different instruments and arrangement change the tone of the song from one of heartache to one of an almost celebratory empowerment. I definitely enjoy both versions, but this one is like “dancing around my kitchen, pumping my fist because eff you I am awesome, your loss”…

The fact that people are even debating the usefulness of this is mind-blowing to me. Because all I can see is the usefulness. In so many situations.

This was exactly my thought as I watched the video. Missy is just the best at this. Plus she’s relateable, fun, relevant and even though she is QUEEN there is a groundedness about her that respect so much. Can we just pretend like the last—what—decade never happened? Missy doesn’t look like she has aged a day since…

It is not wrong to not want any of that. You’re friends may say that “time is running out” but look at it a different way: we don’t know how much time any of us have. So, time is precious. Seems to me like you should spend that precious time doing what *YOU* want. Not what others think you should do.

“Easy to learn, difficult to master”—absolutely true. I don’t play WoW anymore but when I did, my role as a hunter was absolutely crucial in our raid group. I was responsible for so many things and often part of this is knowing what abilities to use when and what *not* to do. In other words, I was always actively…

He’s definitely an incredibly interesting person. I also get the sense that he’s highly sensitive and probably thinks about these things *a lot*. Like, he can’t help but think about them. And I believe he gets frustrated and just wants the world to be a better place. I can relate because, geez, I also spend a lot of…

What really got to me is how eloquently she is able to articulate a terrifying, traumatic experience—especially for her age and for something so recent. She absolutely manages to capture—in her words—the intense variety of feelings that a victim experiences surrounding their rape. The fear, the worry, the shame, the…

That feeling you get when you know it’s a Bobby Finger post, tho.

I struggle with bringing this up—because I don’t want to lose sight at all of this story in particular, and how important it is—but it brings to mind an experience I had when a good friend of mine was sexually assaulted and we reported it to the police. The first officer we talked to was such an asshole about it.…

I am having such a difficult time with all of the aspects of this story, but this part... god dammit. I want to throw up. And now I’m just crying.

I immediately thought this as well. And I don’t think I’m the only person for whom this triggers a lot of anxiety and fear. I can’t even articulate how sad/angry this makes me.

Liam will be like, “Wait which one’s Patrick? I don’t get what you’re saying. I thought we were going to see the Minion movie tonight? Hold on, Chris is calling. Chris what do you want? Miley is mad about something and I’m about to see the Minions. I know you wanted to see it with me but I didn’t want to wait. Oh, now…

I’m With the Band deserves ALL the mentions!
