An observation
It’s quite a jolt when you’re watching a marathon of The Office and you catch the last three episodes and then it goes right back to Season One, Episode One. Another observation: I’ve no idea how people deal with commercials … Continue reading
Tonight on “Tales of Ribaldry”
Ahhhh, Bridgerton. Never, ever change. Ever. I mean it. NEVER change. I love this weird steam-fest boddice-ripper of a show so much. (Also, if you get the reference in the title, you are my people.)
“All spiders are named ‘Phil'”: On Matthew Perry
This is one of my favorite little scenes from Friends. I’ve always loved this little exchange, and in tribute to it, I have ever since referred to all spiders as “Phil”. (In this case I now assume that Phil can be … Continue reading
Two sentences each on some movies we’ve watched recently
I don’t have much in depth to say about some of these, so I’ll limit myself to two sentences each! :: Happiness for Beginners: This cheerful and utterly unsurprising rom-com, which unfolds on a hiking trip, is worth watching for some … Continue reading
A few notes on all the Gordon Ramsay shows I’ve watched
It’s Friday morning, I’m taking the day off for some personal matters and later on attending the Erie County Fair, and right now I’m sipping coffee and thinking, “What’s a quickie topic I can write a post about?” And last … Continue reading

March on Teevee!
So, what did we watch in March? :: We went to see Casablanca on the big screen, which makes it by definition the best thing we saw or watched in March. As Casablanca is my second-favorite movie of all time, the only … Continue reading
“We’re using time-honored skills to preserve history.”
So, what is noted master furniture restorer and upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary so cheerful about? Clearly, it’s the latest issue of my newsletter, in which I write about one of my favorite teevee shows ever (and one that features Ms. Nooranvary), The … Continue reading

Et tu, Ken???
You may remember several months ago when I was irate that a really good player on Jeopardy! lost because he misspelled the Final Jeopardy answer by one letter? A refresher: I don’t remember the numbers in play, but the game was … Continue reading →
