Got a Pen?
Two Completely Unrelated Things
Septuagesima Sunday, meaning we're now in pre-Lent and it's time to start settling our penances and easing off the things we're going to give up or cut back on. The other thing...well, I just find this funny:
Dark Chocolate Ever Loyal
Researching diet info today I came across a post on the benefits of dark chocolate. Top of the list was that it provides "Protection from disease-causing free radicals." As a Monarchist, I can't say no to that!
Fun Fact: The Great Unsung DC Love Match
Revisiting Groundhog Day the other night, I realized something I hadn't noticed before. You know the young engaged couple who show up a couple times ("They're supposed to get married today, but Debbie's having second thoughts.")?

Apart from one starring performances and one or two times playing the … Continue reading A Legendary Performer Behind the Scenes
Who’s in Charge?
I've posted this one before, but it's kind of perennial:
Rings of Power Pitch Meeting
This'll probably be my only post on Amazon's disastrously horrible Rings of Power series, and it's just to point out this very funny video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhsGVs6auq0 "Ha ha, what, is she planning to swim back to Middle Earth?""Yes, that's the plan""Ha...oh my god, you're serious." The "Pitch Meeting" videos are generally pretty funny, especially … Continue reading Rings of Power Pitch Meeting
