I can vouch for both of these things being awesome. My bf and I saw The Lego Movie opening weekend, only we went on that Sunday night and we were two of maybe 20 people total in the theater (it was at night and after a bunch of bad weather so not as many adventurous folks to the theater). I was laughing THE LOUDEST in…

Working on an essay that will be published in a book related to horror scholarship. Super awesome opportunity, but my nitpicky perfectionism means I've been writing for the past few months, not too dissimilar to my life as a graduate student (got my M.A. a few years ago, have a FT job now + a boyfriend), so I'm…

You've never had SpaghettiOs?

I've never seen this show. This is making me reconsider...

French seaman as portrayed by a younger Robert Downey Jr.?

I inherited my copy from one of my cousins years and years ago. Still got it. Never giving it away. It's a wonderful reminder that your childhood can often be dependent on adult artists; and sometimes, those adults are dirty bastards.

I've only played one Harvest Moon, which I bought randomly for my Game Boy Color way back (I'll have to double check which one it is). I don't think you could flirt/date others in that one, but you could travel into town and see a movie or go to the aquarium or go into the forest... I remember enjoying the farming…

And it even did the "What now, HUH?" strut across the finish line.

(My original question was more race-based because I initially thought the skaters were wearing strategically flesh-colored skates until I put on my glasses and realized it looked more like hosiery over their shoes. And I can't edit, grr!)

Outfit design/equipment question related to race: It looks like some of the skaters have skates whose coloring is specifically designed to look flesh-colored. Taking a closer look, it looks like they're wearing a stretchy stocking that's been fitted over the shoes. I would assume that's to give a further illusion of…

It was such a mindfuck when there was that Sweet Valley High TV show that I can barely remember but must have watched at least a few episodes of because the minute the actress who played Elizabeth/Jessica stormed into Capeside and tempted the innocuous Dawson Leery in season 3 of Dawson's Creek, my immediate reaction…

Sidenote from my other post b/c can't edit: How many people are going to spend part of their (Anti-)Valentine's Day watching Season 2 of House of Cards? If my boyfriend was interested (and you know I've been trying to hype him up) in watching the show, I would've suggested that we spend V-Day and this weekend…

When I was single, I spent Valentine's Day loving my friends and doing fun stuff. Not in an anti-way (or at least I didn't see it that way), but as a way of appreciating the important people in my life. Usually involved drinking and laughter and some treats. I haven't been single for seven years, but even so, my…

I love Halloween and watch/play scary stuff all year round, so I can get behind your logic.

I haven't played the game in a little bit. This has surely inspired me to play it this weekend. I should be working on an article, but Hell, the furious typing of writing academic stuff will simply be replaced by the furious typing of ridiculous expletives and suggestive phrases! Except I guess the occasional cursing…

Have you all gone to see the LEGO movie yet? I know that i09 has blown up glowing about it, but seriously, given the story you've told, I think your daughter would enjoy it. And you might too. I never really got into LEGOs when I was a kid, but I knew enough about them and played around with them enough that the movie…

Whenever I think of Shirley Temple, my mind jumps to an image of her as a little actress. I'm vaguely aware of her role in politics as an adult, but only vaguely and that is in large part to my job in the arts. Even seeing the chosen key art for this article reflecting the baby-faced version of Temple that prevails…

This sounds like one of my nightmares. Especially if one of the animatronics frizzes out, flings one of its model walking legs too hard, and sends a stilletto zipping so fast and hard through the air that it lodges into someone's eye. ...I watch a lot of horror movies in my spare time -_-

Excuse me with you. I've been coveting people's cat videos and photos lately (boyfriend is seriously allergic so being a future cat owner isn't really in the cards), so I've been wanting to nuzzle heads and noses and bellies all week long. Strangely (or not so strangely), I am having a strong urge to do some John…

I like zombie games, too! And I had no idea that Rust was one of them. I somehow blindly was of the assumption that folks have been comparing it to DayZ because they're both games in which the game's original purpose has since been erased by players doing loooooooads of things that could warrant a sociology/game…
