Netflix Pick: Celeste and Jesse Forever

I thought we would love this flick.  Me, because I love rom-coms and find Andy Samberg cute on SNL.  The hubs because he loves him some Rashida Jones.  But neither of those likes were enough to like this dud of a film.   Just a little too sad and not cute enough for a feel-good flick.  Kinda the same way I felt about Bridesmaids .  All psyched up for a good laugh but instead got a big let-down.

Amy & Sheldon: Will They or Won't They?????

In the long tradition of television's "will they or won't they?" plot, I have to wonder how long this will go on with Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler?  I mean, I love this particular sitcom plot, I do!  But after Ross and Rachel, Jim and Pam and way on back to Joannie and Chachi, I'm not sure how many more I can take!

Counting Crows: Mr. Jones

Believe in me Help me believe in anything 'Cause I, I wanna be someone who believes..... 

Phil Robertson vs. Key & Peele

And on a similar note, it was a fact not lost on me at all last night when one of the Key & Peele sketches was an extremely over-the-top gay man inflicting his lifestyle on his cube mate who also happens to be gay.  Comedy Central So you see, baby girl, it takes all kinds.  And it takes patience on all sides. 

Oh, Jesus H. This Happened.

So I don't think I'm entirely to blame when I'm stuck waiting for my delicious and deadly hot dog at Sonic and this here song is playing: It's also not my fault that it is completely catchy and cute.  And that I might actually like it.  Oh, shit.

Friday Playlist #13: Best (and worst) Christmas Tunes

Aaah, Christmas music.  I love it and I hate it.  At first, it's fun to hear.  Then it becomes the never-ending repetition of hell!  I read an article that said the reason not everyone likes Christmas music is because a lot of it is so sad and heartbreaking that it brings up a lot of bad and bitter feelings in people.   Ye-aah.  That, and the fact that it plays from November 27 until January 3rd! But all of that being said, there are still some really good Christmas/holiday songs out there.  And even though I'm not religious, I still have a few picks that are both secular and non-secular. And Merry/Happy Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Ramadan/Winter Solstice/Day of Your Choice to You!!!! I'll Be Home for Christmas                                        ...

Oh, Deer!

Boy, I'll tell you....I didn't know how scary deer could be until a big ole buck jumped in front of my car last year during rut season.  Rut season, btw, is just a hunter's way of saying "deer getting busy" time.  I learned later that male deer are so wild with the need to reproduce that they will go for days hardly eating or sleeping but simply, literally, chasing tail.  This is what makes them act with wild abandon and not always see or care about the vehicles they are leaping in front of. I do feel kind of bad for deer and other wildlife as our neighborhoods have encroached on their long-held dwelling places. I'm not a hunter, but I don't criticize others who do it and actually use the meat for food.  I could never be into it myself as I think the idea of shooting something for sport is odd and disconcerting.  And besides that, I sometimes feel sad when I see a little fawn or doe peaking from the roadside.  They do look so gentle and majestic.
