Yeah, I severely doubt I’ll be able to either! My grandparents have been able to live lives like that on high school teacher salaries (not even two for the whole time either since my gram quit teaching much earlier than he did)! It’s stuff that like that really hammers home how different the world is economically now…

I welcome the confirmation! No one I talk to has ever heard of the movie, so I’m always glad to know someone else likes it. I try to spread my love of it.

I actually did a version of this. One of my coworkers said “What’s that thing on your arm?” I said in deadpan Daria voice, “It’s just a sticker I stuck on” thinking there was noooo way a grown ass woman looking at what was CLEARLY new tattoo would miss my sarcasm...

“It’s the amount of murder traps I’ve set on this bus for all of you.”

Ahhh have some fun with it. I like your thinkin’, Yadiggit.

That’s a good answer. I might borrow that. I recently got my first tattoo, and I LOVE it. However, I’ve discovered that I’m way awkward about randos pointing it out and asking about it.

I will have to put that on my library list! I hope you dig the film. It’s one of the few frank movies about the realities of life as a middle aged couple(s) that I’ve seen. And it’s really funny.

Yeah, he wasn’t it in. Thank god too because I don’t know if I can revisit anything with him in it anymore.

Have you ever seen The Four Seasons? He wrote/directed/acted in it, and it’s one of my all time favs. Lots of other fantastic people like Carol Burnett and Rita Moreno are in it too.

It’s just been in the last few years, really, where the unwashed masses have decided that Rush is like Tom Petty or the Eagles and therefore a “cool” band to go see.

True. I was obsessed with that book. Kept writing in composition notebooks through college.

Yes! Nona! And her dad was Iggy Pop. Peak Nickelodean. :)

Omg, Dawn. Possibly the worst part of Buffy. I always remember Michelle Trachtenberg (Buffy’s sister’s real name) as Harriet in the Harriet the Spy movie from when I was wee.

I LIKE YOUR ENTHUSIASM FOR BLAIR. Leighton is in a movie with Gillian Jacobs called Life Partners that’s on Netflix right now. Give it a watch if you dig her. It was delightful.

On one hand, I’m very sorry because I know the struggle. On the other hand, thanks for making me feel better about my own mishaps.

AGREED ON ALL POINTS. I love how daring his acting choices post-Potter have been too. And he likes great music. And his adorable. The list goes on and on.

Shoes like this make me like steaming mad because I resprain my ankle over and over on flat surfaces in sneakers in broad daylight. I see people out in shoes of this level, drunk and walking all over, and THEY’RE FINE. Then again, maybe I’m just not there for the accident portion of their evening.

All good choices! I want D Rad as my bff soooo much it hurts. He is the best in every way.

I honestly do not get where that comes from because who wouldn’t hang out with everyone they’ve ever wanted to hang out if they had the opportunity (and before someone pops in to be all “not me!”, yes, I know that not every single person feels that way. most people would love it though)? It’s one of the best perks of…

AGREED. Also, every time I see your screenname, I hear Jake Johnson saying “Thin crust pizza? No thank you, I’m from Chicago”. I love him so much that I actually subjected myself to a few minutes of Let’s Be Cops on HBO recently.
