I just said submarine for FJ. I don't suppose that counts. But I did get the TS of Mahalia Jackson, department store, toaster pastries, and go for it.

Well, now I feel like a wimp, complaining that it's 16F here, with a feels like temp of 5F. The wind brought down another fairly large limb from one of the trees in my front yard. Fortunately, it missed all the potential obstacles (including the electric line coming from the pole to my house), but it is taking up a lot of space in the yard. <sigh> At least the snow/ice mostly melted before we got this round of sub-freezing weather.

Galavant's on Hulu? Here I've been watching Harry Potter on SyFy all day when I could be watching Galavant!

I decided to see this today -- it's popcorn day, so my popcorn was free! Anyway, despite not knowing much about Robbie Williams, I really enjoyed it. I liked the conceit that he felt like a performing chimp, although I wonder if it might have been more clear if he'd started out as a human child and became the chimp when he was tapped to join Take That. But the chimp conceit really worked very very well when he imagined his inner demons in the audiences. I almost wanted him to become human again at the end, when , but because he still has the inner demons, it still worked. And it totally got me in the feels when I didn't recognize any of the music (except "My Way"), but some of it was pretty good and quite catchy.

Same, until they stopped making 100% cotton denim jeans and started adding spandex. It is damn near impossible to find affordable 100% cotton jeans for women.

It doesn't save money, but it makes it easier to budget -- you won't be surprised by extra high bills in the winter. If I know my electric bill is going to be, for example, $100/month every month except one*, then I don't worry about not being able to pay the higher bills in the winter. I still look at the bills to see my usage on any given month (and compare to the same month last year), and I know it'll even out in the end. *And even that one month isn't too far off the average.

I feel your pain. Ivory is my go-to for soap and dishwashing liquid (because I don't have a dishwasher). My primary grocery store doesn't even carry either anymore, nor does Target.

The electric company here has a budget plan, where you pay the same every month except one, when you catch up. They look at your last 12 months and average what you've paid -- sometimes I owe less during my catch-up month, sometimes a little more. But it has been tremendously helpful to me, especially when it's so very cold. We're above freezing today and tomorrow, but won't be again for at least a week. Does your power company have something like that? It was nice this morning to wake up to temps in the mid-30sF. I'm still hoping for some more melting of the ice from two weeks ago before this next round of cold swoops in.

Neither of the ones I managed was an asterisk.

Only 2/5 this week.

I did not get FJ, but it was so obvious after the answer was revealed. I was stuck on fire as flames, and just couldn't figure out the clue. And the only TS I got was breath. Not my best night. It's been a long week.

That emerald green dress was absolutely perfect for that scene.

I begged our local art house theater to bring that movie in, but they wouldn't. No idea why, as it is exactly in their wheelhouse, or was. Their wheelhouse has been remodeled a bit. The point being, I would still love to see it!

I guessed olive for FJ, thinking you might extend an olive branch for peace among competitors. It made more sense in my head. I did get the TS of Steve Martin, Mystic, Emily, China, and Baryshnikov. I recognized Mystic immediately from the photo thanks to having visited there a few years ago.

I had a feeling Melissa Peterman was a competitive person. Even so, I was a little surprised she did so well. I expected Neil to do better. I was surprised he didn't know Hobbes, even as the stuffed comic strip tiger. I have no idea who the person is who won, but good for her. FJ was an instaget -- I was Kermit flailing along with the contestants when the category was revealed. And I loved Ken quoting the Muppet Show theme song when he was about to reveal the clue. I got most of the TS, of which there were so so many.
