My response every time I hear "But she was so great in Mean Girls" is "No, Tina Fey's script was so great in Mean Girls".

For a hot second I thought that was Emma Watson.

I liked Heart Shaped Box, but I really enjoyed Horns.

House of Leaves is the only book that has actually managed to give me nightmares.

Conversely, I had to use my citrus zester to grate cheese last week and it was kind of a pain in the ass.

Yup. Volume 4 releases in early December. And then I have to decide whether or not I'm a single-issue comics kinda gal.

So after the 50th viewing I noticed mama dog reacting in alarm in the background...

I thought the bit about her becoming an impromptu therapy dog was great, because she probably needed a hug just as much as the human rescue workers did.
