And JUST IN CASE IT COMES UP I did NOT hate the Emerald Fennell adaptation
Back in McSweeney's with some Wuthering Heights red flags ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
Loved this one! Looking forward to the Oscar watch party installment ๐
Making a Pro/Con list can help you see that there are, indeed, two options
When your mother-in-law teaches classes on bookbinding, your kid ends up with a gorgeous journal for their Sutter's Fort field trip. And coffee-stained pages! โค๏ธ
What multi level marketing scheme it will be this time, I wonder
Getting to share increasingly complex forms of humor with my kids as they age is one of my favorite things about being a parent--right up there with watching a newborn smile โค๏ธ
If my handwriting makes me look neurotic, it's just because I am.
and don't even get me started on BOTH legs tucked up in the chair ๐คฏ
I personally believe it to be unremarkable. And yet...
Ninety percent of in-office interaction is just men asking how I can possibly sit with one leg tucked up in my chair

THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE BINGO ๐ Don't forget to play along! ๐
First time watching Frankenweenie and this might be the best explanation of lightning I've ever heard: youtu.be/WCjpY5oko-E
Worse. Energy supplements. This is also the episode where Simon gets addicted to coffee over the course of, like, a day
Sounds like you, too, must have watched that 7th Heaven episode where Mary's friend offers her vitamins to help her play basketball
โค๏ธ it
Nobody:
Me, suddenly sing/shouting: "Pulitzer and Hearst, they think we're nothin'. Are we nothin'? No!"
And won't stop asking for it every time we go to Starbucks...
Never not interested in this kind of chatter
A couple walked past me, and all I heard of their conversation was "I'm just saying the psychological profile of someone who would enjoy a show like that is..." And it took everything in me to not catch up to them and be like: What show are you talking about? And can I please join this conversation?
First 20 minutes of Task (HBO show) be like "we'll tell a story when we feel like getting around to it, thank you"
Started because I was expecting Mare of Easttown S2.
Does it ever become Mare of Easttown S2?
My daughter accidentally rubbed off some of the paint on her mass produced baby doll's eye, and she brought it to me and asked if I could call the artist who made it and have them repaint it, and this is the sort of world I wished we lived in.
His progression from Child Bobby felt so natural and honest to the character. If you made it past the bumpy first episode of the new season, it ended up being a pretty charming little revival. โค๏ธ
Can't understate how satisfying it was to see Adult Bobby doing well. #NewKingoftheHill
This also felt like a film made especially for younger brothers of older brothers, and, no, I cannot explain what I mean by that. I just know it to be true in my bones.
Second time watching Bottle Rocket = discovering that what previously seemed like a comedic heist film is actually a poignant story about one guy finding his way out of a mental health crisis and into a stabilizing routine only to discover that his best friend is on the opposite trajectory.
Sounds like the only thing they are guilty of is having a good time...
