Was he a character on Pushing Daisies?

I was really happy to see the show return to Bravo and get a fresh start. It was so good in the early seasons, before we got things like the stilts challenge, Gretchen winning over Mondo and the Red Robin “bottomless fries” tie-in.

I really liked the friends, the flashback structure and the way they showed that Nate & Jenny were probably already headed for a breakup. But I found Jenny could be kind of cartoonish and annoying.

She’s also hilarious.

I’m sure he will be too, but I doubt they’ll include Dodd’s antisemitic tendencies or do anything but have Hanks play another straightforward hero.

Freddie Mercury ruled the stage and Rami Malek fell off it.

This is now my favorite part of the Oscars.

I recently ran into the personal preference thing and just ordered something else. I insisted on paying for the entree I’d ordered (I had misread the menu, so it was my fault completely and told them so), asked them to box that up so my husband could eat it later and then just ordered a different entree.

Now playing

Seems like a good time to revisit the late great Anthony Bourdain’s visit to the Waffle House.

I was on the fence as well, now I’m pretty firm in my stance. I ended up listening to the episode twice, it was so fascinating.

The podcast Crime Junkie has a great episode that’s basically an overview of everything surrounding this case that wasn’t in Serial. If you fell one way or another on this story, it really changes your perspective.

The Katrina season always seemed doomed (too many crimes, I guess?) but I’m actually disappointed the Clinton-Lewinsky season won’t happen. It seemed like the perfect next season for ACS.

Not just that, it’s gotten repetitive to the point that it feels like there are no stakes. How many times did she escape and end up getting dragged back to the Waterford house? And finally, FINALLY it looks like she’s going to escape for good in the finale and SHE GOES THE FUCK BACK.

Yep, most of the songs in the show are references to other songs or musicals.

“First Penis I Saw” might actually be my favorite CExG song ever. The “Jeff!” products on every shelf, the “Suggestive Vegatables” sign, the dance routine, Donna Lynne Champlin being her amazing self—it’s all so, so right.

I discovered Dorito nachos when I was living in the U.K. I asked a guy at Waitrose if they sold tortilla chips and he just handed me a bag of Doritos. Thank you, British grocery clerk.

Oh look, it’s my periodic reminder to never go to Australia.

I think it’s almost perfect—the last 5 seconds drive me insane. It would’ve been much more haunting if Willis just walks off and we were left to imagine that this hero-villain dynamic continued in some way. But those dang end titles tell us he went the police. It’s so incredibly lame to end a movie with an end title

I love brie but I always, always cut the rind off. It’s foul tasting and the texture ruins the creaminess of the cheese.

It’s bizarre how anti-abortion people seem to think the other side are just bloodthirsty pagans who inexplicably hate babies.
