Spoiler Alert: I’m going to talk about things that happened on Season 4 Episode 2 (or are they calling it 3?) of Downton Abbey. Don’t read any further if you haven’t seen it and don’t want to know what happens/be outraged. You guys. You guys. I don’t remember kicking Julian Fellowes in the balls, but I must have, because it’s like he hates… Read more →

So, I’ve Been Thinking About The Shortcomings Of American Idol, And I Have Some Thoughts.
{Bo Bice asked to take a picture with me. What do you think about that?} So, this is really kind of awkward. I mean, when you get invited by AT&T to experience in person an awesome musical spectacular that fourteen million people across America are watching from their couches, you kind of feel like the only thing to say is… Read more →
This Woman Is Awesome. I’d Be Lost Without Her.
Angela Santomero has saved my butt on more than one occasion. As the creative force behind Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood she’s given me much needed ammo for potty training, calming down toddlers, getting my daughter to wait patiently, and so much more. So when I learned that Angela had two new shows releasing online only — Creative Galaxy, and Sara Solves… Read more →
F-U Right In Your A, Downton Abbey
There are going to be season three spoilers in this wild rant about what Julian Fellowes and his sadistic creative team have put us through, so don’t read any further if you haven’t watched last night’s Downton Abbey US season three finale {aka the UK’s most recent Christmas Special…bastards}. Seriously…there are going to be spoilers. Are they gone? Okay good.… Read more →
Houndton Tabby [Or, Getting Swept Up In A Cultural Phenomenon]
Yep, that’s Matthew Crawley as an Australian Shepherd. Spot on, right? He’s a TOTAL Australian Shepherd. I think it’s both the puppy dog eyes AND the soft jawline. And Lady Mary makes a lovely Borzoi, don’t you think? Ahhhh, this is inspired. The Dowager Countess Sphinx Cat. {Kim Parkhurst’s “Houndton Tabby” collection via Toadbriar} So far, my best decision of… Read more →
Gonna Ride (Ri-i-i-ide) The Dinosaur Train
When I was a kid, my Mom was like Mrs. Museum. We’d crack jokes about her penchant for the tedious and I was always (at least outwardly) annoyed about it at the time, but in retrospect we got to see a lot of cool stuff. I have pretty fond memories of the Museum of Natural History (and the attached air… Read more →
Could Mermaids Really Be Part Of Our World?
{via Animal Planet} It was billed as a documentary. I caught wind of it on Twitter and immediately set my TIVO (or, y’know, the crappy cable company loaner I call a TIVO — whatever). We put the kiddo to bed, and settled in to watch the two hour Charlie Foley piece Mermaids: The Body Found. I actually started it while… Read more →
When You Wish Upon A Star…
{“Smile for the Camera” print via Society6. Also you will laugh at this pin from baby rabies.} My Mother in Law has a Mickey Mouse collection that rivals the Magic Kingdom’s. And I’ve always been a sucker for a protagonist with undeniable psychosis. (I’ve sent many a tweet about Ariel the Hoarder, Belle’s Stockholm Syndrome, Peter Pan’s Arrested Development, and… Read more →
Cee Lo Green EFs with IMAGINE – Infuriates Hippies
Cee Lo Green, what ever were you thinking? You’re kicking off 2012 by performing John Lennon’s beloved IMAGINE on New Years Eve with Carson Daly, and rather than just add your own artistic spin to the arrangement, you choose to switch up perhaps the most controversial lyric to the late superstar’s anthem of universal love… HuffPo reports: Cee Lo Green‘s… Read more →
Okay, I finally figured out what I wanted to say about Sister Wives.
Yes, I know that this show is completely five minutes ago, but I’m talking about it anyway. I am a jealous beast. I don’t remember being so damned envious as a kid – it’s not until Scott entered the scene when I was around 17 or so that I really realized just how viciously jealous I could be. Before that,… Read more →
