I was always super jealous of people’s Shazam app, but for some reason never felt like downloading it myself. I guess I just really didn’t want yet another app crowding my phone. But late in 2022, I finally caved. Now I’m constantly whipping out the app. Anytime I’m watching TV or at a restaurant or …
Here are 10 fun things I found online in November of 2023. Movies Rolling Stone‘s nostalgic oral history of the movie The Fugitive, starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. With the new release of The Boy and the Heron, we’ve been getting our Ghibli on lately, and who hasn’t fallen absolutely in love with …
Forty-nine years ago, my boyfriend’s parents celebrated their honeymoon in New Orleans. Last week, they invited him, his sister and brother-in-law, and me to join them there for their anniversary. What fun! I was not accustomed to traveling with a group, and particularly not one I like so much. We had a blast. My first …
This is a continuation of a previous post about a gag gift I created last year and the delightful sounds that accompanied it. If you’ve been following thus far, you’ll know that I have 240 minutes’ worth of Christmas songs that I love just a little bit more than the rest. As we generally wish …

A couple of years ago, I had what I thought was a hilarious idea for a gag gift for that year’s White Elephant Christmas gift exchange. It would be something so absurd and so personal that the receiver couldn’t possibly get it anywhere else. I was going to make recordings of myself singing my favorite …
This girl here is head-over-heels in love with autumn. But I live in Florida, where we don’t get a real autumn. In the 1.5 months we get of what I call “autumnwinter” (the other 10.5 months of the year being “springsummer”, or really just summer), there are no colorful leaf changes. And only a few …
Before I begin, I have to confess something: I watched this again knowing full-well that I still love it, so this is going to be completely biased. Perfect Harmony was released in 1991, when I was in kindergarten. It almost feels like it should have been made before then because I watched it so often …
This month I’m going to try this thing where I watch and review odd stuff I watched when I was a kid. I’ll discuss cartoons created by people on drugs, and movies I remember but no one else has ever heard of, and I’ll attempt to provide non-biased advice about whether or not you should …
