One of the only things that got me through the stress of my semester abroad at Oxford was feverishly reading the early Shopaholic books late in the wee hours of the night. They *were* a hell of a lot fun and possessed so much more tart commentary on class and consumerism than you might expect.
RIP Sophie Kinsella, whose Shopaholic books were a hell of a lot of fun.

My mom let me test her blood sugar and give her insulin. Hallelujah.
Day 1 looking after my mom for a spell and I have to say I think I bring a real "Dr. Shen in triage" mood to the party. I'm sipping Diet Coke, not Dunkies, but still, my frazzled Gen X sisters are discovering in real time that I might actually have this?

Once again thankful to be the daughter of a train guy because of the sheer amount of adults who have walked by me asking very stupid (to me) questions, including some that suggest they def boarded the wrong train.
Everyone on this Amtrak: What direction is the train moving in? Do you know? Did you pick this seat because you are facing forward?
Me, the daughter of a train guy, ergo I don’t get nauseous like that: I don’t know, I don’t care, I just took the first empty seat

I’ve always been vaguely aware that Protestants celebrate Advent differently but nothing screams the divide quite like do you have pink and purple candles in your house at Christmas time?
Watching a Jamie Oliver Christmas special where his family dinner table has pink and purple candles on the table and am trying not to google “Jamie Oliver Catholic??” (IYKYK)

So, weeks ago, the Muschiettis told me there were at least TWO major dynastic connections to the original IT cast of characters to emerge and so — brushes hair behind ear — I have a theory... decider.com/2025/12/07/i...
Is ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ scene-stealer Marge Truman secretly Richie Tozier’s mom?
“The bloodlines are incredibly important in Derry,” Barbara Muschietti teased.

Related: the PlutoTV TNG channel is hurtling towards playing “The Best of Both Worlds” tonight, if you, like me, care about the first appearance of the Borg.
Just caught the tail end of the TNG ep where Picard mind melds with Sarek and 1) Patrick Stewart did not have to go so hard, but he did, which is why we love him and 2) Sarek is such a hippie horny Vulcan freak for humans. Right?

“Meghan, do you want your tax dollars going to war-“
“No, healthcare, high speed rail, and smut. In that order.”
“No, healthcare, high speed rail, and smut. In that order.”
I don’t know if it’s true, but I saw something circulating that said that Canadian taxpayer dollars helped fund the production of HEATED RIVALRY and I wish my tax dollars were going to hot smut.

It’s always “Hamlet was written about the death of Hamnet” and never “Hamlet was preexisting and popular Elizabethan IP and Shakespeare’s twins were named after Hamnet and Judith Sadler of Stratford-upon-Avon.”

I’ve done nothing today but chill the fuck out and I’m proud of that. I probably won’t have another day without work or family duties until the first Saturday of 2026.
Sure, I’ll spend my last true lazy day for a month sleeping in and reading the smutty gay hockey book.
