Ann Rule.  I love true crime, and she writes in a way that isn’t exploitative of victims.

Thank you for this.  I’m in my mid-30s and feeling like time has passed me by.  Instead of life feeling like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, the choices I made years ago have shut off certain choices forever.  […]

There are a number of crimes that I would like to see.  Not because I want to see people die, but because there are questions about either who did it (Zodiac, Jack the Ripper) or the circumstances, and I would […]

I LOVE the British Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares (the US version, not so much), and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tabitha’s Salon Takeovers (or her new show, Tabitha Takes Over), although with her shows, if I made a drinking […]

I’m re-reading the series right now.  Season One wasn’t too different from the book, but Season Two is off the rails (for the better in many ways).  In terms of what you said under cover of spoiler – No, that […]

Sarah Polley’s cover of Tragically Hip’s Courage and Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt are my favorites by far.

Boo – I went through 80 million names that didn’t stick until I started calling her Boo Boo Kitty

Booger – Knowing how many names it took to settle on one for Boo, we decided not to call him anything until […]

Oh he does, he does.  An incredibly SEXY portrait.

Oh absolutely.  There’s an Eurythmics song that I associate with watching that song on Friday Night Videos and eating orange Jell-O.  There’s a certain U2 song that up until recently I couldn’t listen to, because […]

I think it’s so weird that we all feel so embarrassed to have periods.  That they’re something that must be hidden (tampons up the sleeve, purses to the bathroom, etc.) and never spoken about.

The blue […]

Hello, I am you!  I, too, was in a long distance relationship across international borders.  I, too, got married in my early 20s, and I, too, ran right up against my family’s expectations and wants.  I didn’t want […]

Make homemade play-doh with them?  Disclaimer: I have never made homemade play-doh nor have I had children.  Pop in a movie?

Are Fame and St. Elswhere available on Netflix or Hulu? Because if so, I may just have to hole up in my bedroom and rewatch them.

Oh, and Designing Women, too.  Maybe Murphy Brown.

I made that same mistake with He-Man.  It did NOT hold up well.

Same here.  Every once in a while I put my fingers together, just in case it would work, but it never does.

I have thought about the same thing!  We’d know who Jack the Ripper was!  I only think of it in terms of true crime, but it would still be cool.

I would invent a machine that would give you whatever you wanted when you wanted it.  Want pizza?  BOOM, pizza.  Want a hot guy/girl/guy AND girl?  BOOM!  Hottness.

I often have dreams where I’m either topless or completely naked, and in normal places, like work or back in high school or on stage (? yeah, I don’t know either) and it takes a while for me to realize I’m naked.  […]

I don’t understand how people can constantly do things and not drop dead from exhaustion.  We’ve been running around all day every day this weekend doing stuff, and I’m ready to go to bed for the night.  At 12:57 p.m.!
