I absolutely started crying watching this. Kudos to you, Maureen Walsh. This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
My local does this and it's how I met my newest kitty, Jezebel. She's perfect for our house and the volunteers at the shelter were fantastic about explaining the evaluation process. They asked about the other cats in our house and were great at explaining how the cats would (theoretically) all get along and how to…
It is one of my favorite things about Omaha. So beautiful in there, and the sound is amazing for music. We saw Phantom when it was touring there and it was absolutely incredible. If you ever get a chance to go backstage, jump on it because the back of the house area is soooo cool. And creepy. Exactly as it should…
It was at the Orpheum on Wednesday night. I didn't know about it until the promoter asked my husband to shoot the meet & greet after!
God, I adore Jenny Shimizu. She's amazing.
Yeah, definitely never trying that. I got started watching those and uh, it doesn't seem fun.
I knew there were a couple locals on here, but I never realized one of them was you. We should be cool and have a metro area meet up or something.
Eli Roth is dead sexy, and according to a screenwriter friend of mine actually pretty cool. I'd do him. Eli Roth, not my screenwriter friend.
Hi! I'm in Omaha!
The show last night was fantastic!
OH MY GOD SHERMAN ALEXI IS ON TWITTER??????????????
Meh, I wouldn't hold it against Patton. I think it's just habit for everyone at this point, I only really take offense when I see it in political reporting.
Oh yeah, it was really bad. Now that she is Sec State though, she's always referred to by her last name. I don't know why her senatorial seat didn't always garner her that same respect though.
Heh, I bring it up often, but mostly because I'm a student and read a lot of literary analysis that refers to female characters in works by their first names. What is also quite interesting about this is that female writers are ALWAYS referred to by their last name in the same analysis. It's a strange thing to…
I watched it in a women's studies in lit class after we'd read the play. Emma Thompson's performance was so fantastic, I was the dork sitting in class all choked up.
That film version was brilliant. I loved it soooo much.
It's actually a very interesting phenomenon in gendering. Men are referred to by last names in the press and in literary analysis, but women are referred to by first names, as if we're familiar with them. The implication is that women don't command as much respect as men, so we can just call Janet Reno Janet, when…
Oh my, I'd love to just work part time! I would say I'm very lucky to have a very understanding family, and the ability to preform very well under intense pressure. But you know? We will all get through it. The cookies help, baking is kind of therapeutic!
It KILLS me. So I answer them based on how I feel that way and include a note that explains why the question is problematic. I wish people would think about it for JUST a minute before creating those forms.
