My kids, one of whom absolutely lived and breathed HP for 10+ years, are sad but resigned. One wished she could see the cursed child play but would never consider doing anything to give $$ to that person again. As a person she's dead to them, and HP is a well forever poisoned.

One Thanksgiving I was going to have to host right after traveling a ton. I told everyone I was going to get a pre-made meal, which distressed everyone so greatly that everybody cooked except me.

A pre-made meal would have been great, but it was nice to draw a boundary and have people jump in.

“To be honest that task sucked, so I’ve been fucking off instead” is the Turing moment.

this is like when that screenwriter asked AI to write a screenplay, and all it did was ask him for more time to complete it. Took a while before he figured out that it wasn't a complex task; "need more time" was the predicted response to "write a screenplay"

I assumed everybody knew about it because otherwise how would that joke about the head of standards and practices on 30 Rock land?

This feels like another version of the specious argument "Calling out bad behavior is the reason people behave badly" with a dash of conflating the speech of online leftists with politicians. I'll donate $50 to my parish for each proven instance of a national pol saying "heteronormativity."

The Lagoon has my favorite quality in a movie theater-- it's in my neighborhood. I will put up with a lot for that benefit.

I saw Titanic there back in the day! Didn't walk out, but my friends and I laughed loudly near the end when the audience was full of sniffling. (I know that's cold, but in my defense I was quite young, and also people should not cry at that movie unless they are sad about the money they wasted.)

Honestly my list annoys me. Partly because I can see where certain busy seasons kept me away, and partly because what I listen to at home is majority soul/R&B with some hip hop mixed in. Where are those shows?!

That aside, every show on this list was fantastic.

OMG, I got one in the fall after a sinus infection and the pain was indeed agonizing. Anything and everything you do to feel better is legit!

Or this. The 5 D's are good. Rehearse them mentally, or, if you're into that, with friends!
