It's so weird seeing Vanessa Marano on Gilmore Girls. She's so young! She was about 13 when she first appeared on the show. Course, it's been 20 years since she first appeared on the show.

There is nothing like waking up to a cat lying on your chest wanting to cuddle. I just wish it didn't take place at 430 am.

I realise that the orange cretin doesn't understand, let alone possess, any sense of decorum. But the plaques? Seriously?

When my daughter told me that Rob Reiner & his wife were murdered in their home, I was shocked. She then immediately started watching The Princess Bride, while we discussed his career. I only have the values memories of All in the Family and I can't really remember Reiner in it. I remember Archie in

Ahmed al-Ahmed, the man who tackled and unarmed one of the shooters at the Bondi Beach shooting, is an Australian citizen but also a Syrian Muslim. An Arab & a Muslim stopped someone targeting Jews. Risked his life. Was shot & injured due to this.

Reading all this crappie about the British royal family, it only reinforces my belief that the British should've done what the French did, back in the late 1700s. We could've avoided all this Andrew nonsense. Plus, William is a complete ass. 75000000£ to leave a residence?

Oh, Kody, you didn't have the potential to be an asshole. You were & continue to be an asshole. #SisterWives

Oh, Kody & Robyn, cry me a fucking river. If he wanted a relationship with his kids, he needs to understand why they feel estranged from him. But that would mean putting his ego to the side & be willing to listen & be vulnerable. Not going to happen. #SisterWives

I get that Claire Danes is probably best known for Homeland, but there are some among us who will forever associate her with the role of Angela Chase in My So-Called Life.

One thing I love about #Bones is Hodgins' admiration and respect for Brennan. It doesn't matter that she's a woman in a scientific field, that he has as many doctorates as her, he unequivocally supports and holds her in high esteem.

I miss #911LoneStar. #911Nashville is thoroughly unwatchable. The male lead is beyond bland. I wouldn't follow him into a 7-Eleven, let alone a fire. But #911LoneStar had characters that felt distinct from one another, that you cared about.

Wow. Debra Messing is a raging Islamophobe. Who knew? (Everyone. Everyone knew.)

I made a vegan cottage pie. Cottage, because I used veggie ground round, which is like a beef mince. It's good. I obviously tweaked the recipe, adding mushroom, paprika, a little bit of red chili flakes, some soy sauce, tomato paste, veggie bouillon.

I liked both #911 & #911LoneStar from the onset. I knew the characters' names from the pilot episode. #911Nashville lacks the humanity of the other shows. And I only know some characters' names.

Prince Andrew should be turned out onto the streets, not living in taxpayer subsidised housing. Actually, no royal should live in taxpayer funded/subsidised housing.

#Guy'sRanchKitchen I would like to disabuse any chefs participating in vegetarian/vegan themed dinners that fish sauce is vegetarian. It isn't. Fish are animals. A sauce made from fermented fish is an animal product. Stop trying to pretend that it's vegetarian-friendly.

I woke up this morning feeling okay-ish. But then, the migraine came back in full force. A blinding migraine. I'm not sure if it's the pain or the nausea that's keeping me awake. Probably both. Also, I'm weirdly hungry in spite of the nausea. Do I actually want to eat something? No. Decidedly not.

God, I love Anthony Bourdain, but when I was little, I objected to meat that is pink/red in the middle. I hated going to steakhouses, because invariably, I was the one ordering the steak medium well/well done. I hated when my mom made pot roast, because she cooked it to medium. I swear I'm not a

The other day, my daughter made tater tots and I remarked that it was weird eating tater tots with ketchup, because I'd normally only get tater tots from Taco Time. So, the next day, she went out and got enchilada sauce. It's not exactly the same, but it's close enough.

Jumping around Top Chef seasons. I watched season 8 and am now watching season 6. Way too much Mike Isabella. His "a girl can't cook/do as well as me" line makes me want to smack him. But I understand that his life choices have smacked him in much bigger ways than I could imagined.

I'm rewatching season 7 of #TopChef and so many of these chefs don't know Ethiopian food. It premired in 2010. I've lived in Edmonton, AB since the 90s and have frequently had Ethiopian food. I make mesir wot a lot. It was frequently requested for potlucks at work.

This is equally shameful and horrific. I read #TheHandmaidsTale as my "free" book in English 20. I read #TheColorPurple when I was 16. I read #TheHouseoftheSpirits as a young adult. These books should be read by young minds. ca.news.yahoo.com/handmaids-ta...
