Special Valentine’s FREE Episode: 20 things we hated about FIREPROOF

We promised we’d have a podcast review of Kirk Cameron’s life-changing movie FIREPROOF for Valentine’s Day. And we lied!

This here is a special free … Continue reading “Special Valentine’s FREE Episode: 20 things we hated about FIREPROOF”

In which I answer anything, Vol. 3!

January got me down. So I did an “ask me anything” on Facebook. I skipped a few hard ones, but here’s most of my answers: Are you pregnant?! I am pregnant with ennui and will soon give birth to a red-faced, squalling bundle of . . . I dunno, more ennui or whatever. Are you … Continue reading “In which I answer anything, Vol. 3!”

In which I answer anything, Vol. 2

You’re too generous! I had to save about half the questions for next time. . Q. Who was worse – Samantha Bee or Roseanne? . A.

What’s for supper? Vol. 119: It is almost March.

Well, it’s February and everything is terrible. That’s my excuse for letting things languish around here. Someone spilled something on my computer again, and the quick and easy warranty process only took eleven steps and nine years to complete. Everyone is throwing up.
