I don't get that, I know it's what the kids do but for the life of me I can't figure out what they're watching. I've gone down the rabbit hole of watching "hair videos" and "Irish people try american snack foods" and I end up gazing for hours but on a day to day basis I don't want to do that. I also do not get the fascination with "real housewives" as in I have a friend who for the love of Pete watches every incarnation and insists on telling me about them even though at every turn I reply "I have never watched one and never will" but I know more about dr. housewives in dallas and jersey shore and I swear they will soon have "real housewives of my next door neighbors" WHO NEEDS THIS MANY HOUSEWIVES?

And cable companies should not have a leg to stand on anymore. We can all get by without them. Although amongst my friends we're all tallying up the different sources, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sling, Firestick, Roku...each channels own independent app like CBS and countless others and if you subscribe to all it's more than cable. And it's all ever evolving. I'm never even home anymore, I've got like 2 days a week where I actually go home after work and could cook and veg in front of the tv. I have 22 episodes of a couple of shows stacked up that I might as well delete cuz I'll never get to them. I'm also my mother now and when I start watching stuff to catch up I pass out and since I have no forward and reverse I just delete and miss stuff. NOT ANYMORE, WONDER REMOTE ACTIVATE! Didn't even have time to set it up last night got home at 11:15 And my peeve this week is some asshat neighbor left tires next to my trash can last week. After the trash had been picked up so I just left them there, yesterday was again trash pick up and they didn't pick them up so I'm somehow responsible for recycling somebody's gd tires because I'm the random house they chose to deposit them, I swear to jeebus is the hose beast who wanted me to remove a tree from "my" yard leaning on her fence. Except the tree was between fences. I swear she's running an illegal air bnb but you know I can't rat. I'm really pissed off at these tires.

I can't believe that hadn't occurred to me! Holy cats, like duh. Do you know how many friggin remotes I have? DO YOU?! DO YOU! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. I hope it works, do you know how many hours of my day I can get back? I can skip bits I don't like and commercials. Then you won't hear me whine about Subarus anymore.

I'm at a stalemate with my cable company. I believe I'm going to cut the cord. We renegotiate rates every time they try to throw something in there. I didn't want to pay for "hd" dvr but there is no such thing as a non "hd" dvr so I said then don't make it sound like I have an option. On my bill it shows $10 for dvr and then $10 for HD, I said turn off HD, they said it doesn't turn off. Then I said fine lets get rid of the spare room they said then it doesn't count as "whole house" (but yet they took off the $7 for additional room) I'm afraid if I say the remote is broken and I'm using a "universal" that I can't get to do the ff or reverse (it turns tv on and off and I can find my crap to play but no volume no pause or rewind) they'll try to get me under a 2 year contract. I need to bite the bullet. They'll say I need a new box or try to make me pay $79 for a dude to program one for me. I have hulu, access to netflix, don't need amazon prime. not sure if I should explore fire stick Plus side I watched "booksmart" last night. BRILLIANT freaking loved it. It's juvenile and silly and awesome. Watched 2 seasons of Fleabag and also freakin loved. It gave me the feels.

Do we have any kind of timeline on when the Boo situation occurred? I know the mother has been dead for three years, Boo was there to help out during the funeral stuff. She was dating Henry/Harry at the time... do we know if her misadventures sexually started at that time? or was that already established? Do we know if Boo's "accident" happened a month?, a year? before where our story picked up in Season 1? I feel like maybe 6 months because the cafe had time to start declining.

I can't get enough! I like the second season better than the first and I had no qualms about flirting with the priest or even the priest flirting back. I had major MAJOR issues with his first move coming right after her confession when she was so vulnerable. That warranted a hug not "kneel". Even though he doesn't know what it was exactly she couldn't confess, it wasn't a turn on in any way. That was blatantly abuse of power when she was most vulnerable. Any other time I could have accepted, sitting on the bench freaking out over foxes...awkward cafe talk...anything

* snerk* you shaved your legs, you shaved your le-eegggs Now I think I'm just pickin on Subaru, but another commercial is THE ALL NEW 2019 LONGEST LASTING SUV BLAH BLAH BLAH. So they got a couple looks like they're unpacking during a camping trip, looking at a map they got the dog running around and a kid then it goes backward, the dog turns into a puppy, the kid is a baby, then the mom is pregnant basically YOU'LL OWN THIS CAR FOR A BAZILLION YEARS! except they then say INTRODUCING THE ALL NEW 2019 you can't guarantee it's gonna last. I know you're telling us you put all the good parts in it and you engineered it to be reliable etc etc but if it's brand new it could be a lemon, it could be the next edsel. probably not. the commercials that show how you owned one for 10 years and now you decided based on that experience that your next car will be a subaru that makes sense to me. You have a history to base it on, they are making up history. Don't know if this one is subaru or not but the one with the little girl who at first I thought was just a bossy obnoxious little girl because she's correcting "dad" on how to play croquet and then at lunch she orders everyone's dessert, I'm like "wait who lets the 6 year old order dessert?" then you realize at the end she's the old lady and getting to spend the day with her grandkids makes her feel young. And dad's really her son, at the end he's all "wave goodbye to grandma kids" . Once I realized she wasn't a kid who needed to be slapped then I'm all sad because her son's a jerk, takes her out for one day and she's all happy then he leaves her and she's all alone GRANDMA IS LONELY YOU JERK, LET HER LIVE WITH YOU. YES it's possible I'm thinking too much about these commercials. but you see my remote is broken, I can't fast forward through commercials anymore #firstworldproblems

sweeeeeet

Speaking of Taylor Swift, I was listening to the radio and there was a commercial for a Wango Tango festival, you can win tickets and Taylor I guess is the headliner and my how times have changed the "sponsor" is Juvaderm...aka botox, lip plumpers. hahHAhahahaHAha omg how very rock n roll! Not coke or pepsi or ford or hell Samsung, I don't even know what I think of as tour sponsors beer companies? Literally Miss Swift is a badass lip plumper

Yes, the moment in the commercial when he says "turn here" I immediately think they're going off a cliff. I can get behind him knowing the land and taking them to the spots tourists don't find, and "listen to the whales" it's just the car part that gets me. Let Stevie Wonder drive! I always imagine if I went to the fancy place and got the fancy dessert where they give you 3 smears of whatever "gastric" sauce I would literally pick up the plate and lick it because if all I'm getting is an edible flower, 3 drizzles and my egg scoop I'm going to get everything speck off that plate. I also hate when I see pics of everything they drape in edible gold leaf. GOLD LEAF DON'T TASTE LIKE NOTHING! you friggin morons are paying for NOTHING just because it's got the word gold in it. I've seen burgers, cake pops, even an ice cream cone dipped in it. DO NOT WANT!

I've managed to never have a garlic tool myself. Granted most of the time I get away with garlic powder but on the finer occasions I can do the knife smash and sometimes the salt chop. You smash it then you pour salt on it and it mixes while you smoosh. I forget what the advantages are, possibly scrapes off better? I've seen it many times on the cooking shows. Many things I just smash, peel and lob a whole clove and it flavors but I don't gotta chop it. Gasp, horror I also do not have a "fine" set of knives that I sharpen whilst looking fierce. I've got one big knife it does it all. My father did have a whetstone that he sharpened our old big knife and yes you knew when it had been sharpened. I don't have too many gadgets. You know what irks me? overboard presentation. Sure arrange it so it's attractive but I see all these pinterest things and food blog/vlogs that they got their lil drizzle and the most annoying thing I see these days is the oval spoon of ice cream, as in literally they only giving you one damn spoon of ice cream and it has to look like a pointy egg. I'm like $45? you gonna have to give me a pint. I don't care that you made lil daisies and leaves and crap on the plate. I WANT ICE CREAM. They give you 4 peas lined up in a row with 3 drops of sauce and "medallions" of whatever squab or squid which "medallions" is code for "we cut up your meat for you so you don't notice we gave you 3 bites." Not that I actually ever go to fancy restaurants that serve things this way but if I was paying big money you better give me a big old hunk of meat.

I read an article several years ago and it tracked Taylor Swift's dating life, her "relationships" were all 3 months or shorter. those to me are not relationships. That's not enough time for anyone spending time together to get to know one another, ESPECIALLY, if you factor in her tour schedule or "his" filming locations etc that she's literally in a different city every week, so unless they go on tour with her she isn't in the same room with them for more than a day at a time. This was before Hiddleston and some of the biggies. But after Gyllenhaal I think. And I'm not saying any of these dudes are prizes but I'm pretty sure many of them are scratching their heads thinking "wait, what? we dated? like dated dated?" not just went out on a couple of dates. I know with the social medias, your twits and gramsnaps, I know a lot has changed and lotta chicks think they're in long distance exclusive relationships and they pour a lot of intensity into that but I don't think dudes do. If you're a regular guy, not famous or rich, you can have a "relationship" but you're married. And women will know they're married but think real life is really gonna change. I don't know if Taylor is instagram married to these guys way ahead of the horse and buggy or what.

wow. I get that with each generation there is born a new slayer and everyone "discovers" things but she didn't invent anything she only endorses. then it has 3 or 4 different ones so I have no idea which she endorses but damn. Not that I can analyze Taylor based on her lyrics but I have noticed several themes, it's always about her. Current song actually entitled "ME" and basically says there's nobody like me. plus she's big on accountability always wanting to write someone's name down to keep track. She says she's a nightmare dressed like a daydream so she's daring men to date her, throwing out the crazy card because other people have called her that but she fully asserts she aint. And I kinda wanna puke thinking I know any Taylor Swift songs. In several of Adele's songs she talks about not being young anymore which Adele is just now turning 30 as well and at 25 was writing "we're not kids anymore" so I guess everybody has a theme.

It is not, it's Trisha Yearwood but Sandra Lee is ghastly. I don't know if she still has a show but I didn't realize she was dating Cuomo the governor of New York. I knew she had been married to some tycoon dude way back in Canada, that was an update for me.

I’m watching cooking shows, that’s what I do in Sunday’s. Omg I’m about to crawl through the tv and beat someone. Cooking in long sleeves or with dangly sleeves drives me nuts. She’s wearing a jacket! Jacket like formal dress up jacket. There are long sleeves and zippers. I can hear the zippers clanking on mixing bowls. Don’t tell me you ain’t dragging that through the food! I’m very very “homestyle “ about cooking. Like I don’t freak out about mixing meatloaf with your hands. I’m not terribly scrutinizing about chopping and technique, I measure by eyeball but seriously if you have sleeves dragging in the food I wanna beat you in the face. Also the Subaru commmercial where the millennial couple wants to find the “peninsula trail” and old geezer says “you won’t find that on a map, I’ll show you” and he’s blind. “Turn here” he says. HES BLIND! He’s mystical magical blind tour guide? Pffft I ain’t buying your Subaru. It’s worse than the depressing commercial where Irish grandpa died and the family takes a road trip that grandpa always wanted to take. Grandmas crying ...I’ll buy your car when I’m ready to drive off a cliff. Yes I know there are bigger things to worry about. But I woke up in my cranky pants.

Oh yes Dexter sucked as did Lost and How I met your Mother. I had a dream I was dating David Spade (cannot stand David Spade) but it wasn't David Spade. If I said "who is that?" and pointed at him everyone replied David Spade but it was a tall gangly redheaded teenager. But they all insisted it was David Spade, the actual, not a guy named David Spade. I was so confused, I was the only one saying it's not him and I was the only dating him.

I wonder if Maggie will be back, her show didn't get picked up. I liked it. Game of Thrones: I give you the sorriest piece of shit ending in the history of forevers! Walking dead: Hold my beer... I don't have to be a 3-eyed raven to see the future, in a year's time, how disappointed the universe will be with the finale of Walking Dead. I have to see it out, I'm just that kind of glutton for punishment.

I love the hell outta Joan and I was amazed again at what a small part she had in Say Anything. I could never have remembered that when they say the title of the film in the film it's between Diane Court and her dad. I think this movie was supposed to be about the father and daughter and he admitted last night that Lloyd Dobbler wasn't supposed to be "deep" as in he kept poking Cameron Crowe with "ideas" for what Lloyd should be "about" because he makes such a big deal of not working for the "man" bought, sold, processed, etc. His dad wants him to join the army but he "can't work for that corporation" but I think he was originally supposed to be much more of a loser, like Diane's father was supposed to have a legit leg to stand on (Frasier joke!) when she convinces Diane to break up with him. He's supposed to be as stupid as the dudes hanging out at the gas n sip. I think he and his sister hi-jacked the movie, made it more of the teen rom-com because Cameron Crowe actually let him build Lloyd Dobbler. He only took the job because John Mahoney convinced him to do it. He'd done something with John and told him about this and believe it or not they were leaning towards Christian Slater. Cusack didn't want to do it because at 20 he didn't want to play teenagers. He was feeling his big boy pants. I'm not sure what was up with shouty man other than trying to squeeze it all in at once.

One girl said he was the "body" in Stand By Me. HE WAS NOT RAY BROWARD! Omg he was Wil Wheaton's dead brother in a flashback. He talked about baseball, he's huge into baseball. I had remembered a lot of the cameos from Say Anything (they weren't cameos at the time just people who weren't famous yet) Eric Stolz is the party guy (Rooster?) and I remembered that but I noticed for the first time in the credits that he was a production assistant on the movie. I knew Jason Gould was the goofy drunk kid who can't remember where he lives. I knew Bebe Neuwirth was the guidance counselor. I had forgotten that Chyna Phillips was the evil Mimi who Joe can't break up with. He talked about working with his sister. He says he calls her cuz he knows he can get her to work cheap (big laugh) and she always acts like she's not gonna show up and she's too busy but she shows up and sometimes says the lines they write and sometime not but whatever comes out is always pure gold. In High Fidelity he says "Come on down, it's in Chicago just walking into the bar, 2 minutes" she walks him calls him a fucking asshole and he says she shoulda been nominated for an oscar.

They talked about both of those. The Jack Bull is one of his own favorites. It was an odd night. Movie was good, kinda hilarious watching with so many people and noticing so much stuff differently. As in I now identify with John Mahoney. They had a moderator woman who asked questions and then opened it up. Dear Lord they needed to screen these questions. Bunch of whackadoodles but we did get a couple good things out of it. He talked about working with Stephen Frears on "The Grifters" and how intimidated he was by Annette Benning and Anjelica Houston. He talked about Pushing Tin and Con Air. He tried to be delicate about his political activism, he said for him its not about "parties" but about human potential and whose doing rigtht for the whole. Most people were very rambly. One lady was a mortician and had to make a wax head and she made it based on Martin Blank (Gross Point Blank) and she prefaced it saying "I promise this is not weird" and he actually got a kick out of it. He clearly wanted her to have this head and unfortunately it was lost in the move south as in the heat and humidity melted it. but he asked several times during his story "where is the head" he wanted to see it. haha Then the very last guy who wasn't going to get to ask his question because they had said "3 more" and he was just after that. He just lunged at the mic and started shouting "YOU ARE MY WIFE'S FAVORITE ACTOR AND IF I WAS ALLOWED TO ASK A QUESTION...BUT SINCE I'M NOT ALLOWED BECAUSE THEY JUST CUT IT OFF BUT IF I WAS ALLOWED TO ASK I'D ASK HOW COME YOU GET TO BE 52 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NO WIFE AND NO CHILDREN BUT I DON'T HAVE TO ASK BECAUSE YOU ARE A ROCK STAR WHOOOOOOOOO" like his Rick Flair moment. It was very alarming.

Thor gained some weight in the movie. I'll take it. I also don't get out much but John Cusack is going around the country showing movies and then you get a q&a. I'm not very brave so highly doubt I'd do it but if I did get up to speak I might tell him my "John Cusack story" from college. I been telling it for years. When I was in college he was in town filming "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and we all wanted to stalk him. One day I'm walking out of my apartment with my laundry basket, so you know I was looking extra special, and a car drives by. Mentally I think "he looks familiar, I wonder if he's in one of my classes?" and I keep going then SHAZAM I nearly drop my laundry basket, HOLY FUCKBALLS THAT'S JOHN CUSACK! OR I considered getting up and asking if he'd kept in touch with the chick who played his sister in "Say Anything" (duh, his sister) you know just to be a shit. Failing that I might ask if he kept in touch with "Cliff" that be the kid in the trunk with him after the party in "Sixteen Candles" I figure he gets the same shit over and over so maybe he'd laugh. If you got good questions I can maybe send up my braver friend Brenda. (she of the snake wrangling)

I have a date with John Cusack tonight. Pretty sure Diane Court dumped Lloyd Dobbler a long time ago and it shoulda been Corey all along. anyway...JOE LIES! JOE LIES! When he cries. everybody chorus: It'll never be me, it'll never be me!

I'm not completely convinced that the Mountain would have remembered any grudge against his brother. However, I've never fully bought how he was "loyal" to the queen as a zombie. Like Frankenstein's monster how could you guarantee he would do anything? Qyburn as his "father" maybe???? But I think even when he was alive Mountain didn't even think much of his brother, as in, I don't think he hated him, I think he was just a play toy, he was cruel and everyone to him was weak, Hound did nothing in particular to incur his wrath and wasn't seen as much of an obstacle. Their parents wouldn't have been an obstacle either. I know it was a mission for the Hound, obviously haunted and traumatized by fire, actual hatred behind that. While I loved Clegane-bowl I just don't think the Mountain would have put aside Cersei to finish this "feud" when in his life it wasn't a feud, the Hound was a mosquito to him. But Bravo to the Hound because I truly chalked him up to not being able to kill his brother, even though they both perished.

I saw that and I guess of all of her vices I can't really yell at her for smoking when so many other things almost killed her. If she grows old to sound like Elizabeth Ashley, at least she grows old. The other stuff would kill her quicker.

I've seen the Avengers movie, no spoilers but I'll take dad-bod Thor. Nooooo problem with that.
