Years ago, our dog got one of those big 1-lb blocks of cheddar cheese off the table, and had it wedged in her mouth halfway, with drool dripping down the sides and off the ends. She couldn’t chew it but refused to let it go (once we finally caught her in the dining room). We still laugh over it.

Mr. Elthwaite and Mrs. Quint can go grumble and bond over their hatred of goats. I am right there with you...I have wanted goats for so long. Fresh goat milk every day?? Are you KIDDING me??

Wait. Wait. There’s a new baby giraffe in Santa Barbara? For real? Is it out for public viewing yet?

things I FEEL LIKE I NEED.

That sounds beyond horrible. I’m so glad I’ve never even heard of it, let alone seen it.

How did I not get that. I blame lack of coffee.

I agree, definitely ruining your life. Mine won’t let me have a miniature pig, twin pygmy goats, a reticulated python, OR a bat.

This.

I don’t....what? What is that even supposed to mean?

That’s a really, really excellent question. Now I’m curious too.

What the.......

One of the things that I like so much about most MMOs is that by the very nature of the game environment, you’re playing just another “regular” person in that world. Unlike a single-player videogame where you’re playing a super-powerful god, or the best ninja in the world, or whatever....in an MMO you’re just one more…

The detail that stuck with me was the explanation of time/space travel by holding a string outstretched and then bringing the hands together. Mrs. Whosis or Mrs. Whatsit does this to demonstrate to Meg how it works. (Or is this in a later book? I’m 99% certain it was in AWIT.) Anyway, that detail has stuck with me so…

Yes! The Dark Is Rising series x100000000!!! <3

STOP THE PRESSES. Really?? The whole trilogy? I was so heartbroken by that travesty of a film, but I will hold out hope that the BBC can do right.

That’s the best explanation I’ve read...and I agree completely. Through that lens, it makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing.

Ok FINE, I will try iZombie again. The first episode was so painfully predictable and unfunny that I just could not bear to keep going. But I’m trusting you here...

This whole article X100000000000000. Thank you.

I, too, was strongly concerned when I learned my boyfriend had never seen Grease. I remedied it by taking him to a Sing-A-Long screening. The sheer Grease-ness of it made up for his years of missing out, in my opinion. ;)

Here are the other 999 stars I couldn’t give you because I can only press that button once.
