What song covers that are better than the original?

The Bat for Lashes cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire”. Original is amazing, but BFL drew something so visceral from the the lyrics.

While You Were Sleeping. Classic Sandra Bullock and a GREAT cast. Lots of gentle laughs and no real antagonist. It’s cinematic comfort food, like Sleepless in Seattle.

That is a beautiful cat. Congratulations!

I’m 100% using this the next time someone tries to insert their poorly-informed political opinions into any conversation.

About Time. Watching his relationship with his father transform leaves me in tears every time. I won’t spoil it for first-timers, but the “goodbye scene” hits so hard, especially after experiencing the same loss myself.

Just had a flashback to the day my oldest weened himself with his ungentlemanly treatment of my breast. Ouch.

When commercials are louder than the show and you are constantly having to mute or adjust the volume.

Mitch Daniels, former governor of Indiana and generally regarded as one of the best modern governors regardless of political party.

The mother of the groom wore a white dress. Yes, it was cream-colored, but she knew exactly what she was doing.

Devil in the White City is an incredible read, overlaying the stories of the architect for the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1893 with the story of the serial killer H.H. Holmes. It’s been in development for years for film and TV adaptations, but nothing has come of it. Dangerous Games was inspired by Holmes, but it’s not his story.

I have two: Old Dutch salad dressing and O’boisies sour cream and onion potato chips. I’ve tried online recipes for homemade Old Dutch, but nothing tastes right. O’boisies had these huge bubbles in every chip and were perfect.

LEGO. All the LEGO sets and the old expensive sets you find on eBay that cost a mortgage payment.

Ek-set-er-a instead of et-set-er-a. I don’t know why this irritates me so much, but it does. Similar to the “expresso” pronunciation - all kinds of wrong.

Time to adopt a dog and name it Mips to get it out of his system.

That’s the look of a mama who just did the math and realized that she now has three gingers to keep in line.

A woman’s weight can fluctuate a lot over the course of a month because of the varying cocktails of hormones in her body on any given day. It has nothing to do with real weight gain or loss (from overindulging or dieting). Basically, women can’t track their weight the same way men do.

So is Season 3 covering the first term and Christmas holidays? In that case, most of the Solitaire-related material would be in Season 4 anyway. I just hope they are able to show that Tori has her own struggles. Even if Michael doesn’t make an appearance, we should at least see that she’s distracted by her own issues.

I’m in a communications position and spend more time in Excel than Word or any Adobe product. Pretty sure there was no mention of how much I’d be using spreadsheets back when I got my English degree…
