    ICBYHST: Can’t Hardly Wait

    Okay, I was told I had to watch “Can’t Hardly Wait” by a few fellow TGS members as the movie celebrates its 20th anniversary this week. My first comment was, “uh, what is that movie?” So we were off to a great start.

    The Good, the Bad, and the Wounded: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #3

    Kim Jong Un & another dictator tried to keep me from watching Becca on her journey for l-o-v-e tonight, so it took a little longer. We finally got through episode #3, though.  The guys impressed by (for the most part) being really respectful of one another, but somehow we still ended up with two of […]

    The Bachelorette: An ode to the damaged photograph

    I am four glasses of wine deep post-Bachelorette, and all I can think about is how much these guys love to run to Becca and snitch and twist situations, and how much Becca loves to be over the top. Take a shot every time Arie is mentioned…OH WAIT You’d be blacked out if we did that. […]

    Turn Down for Drama: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #2

    With cameos by Lil Jon, Fred Willard, and Rachel & Bryan, this should have been a much more easygoing two hours than it was.  Three story lines on Monday night kept us from getting to know these guys much more than we did in episode #1.  Hang on to your butts. The drama is starting […]

    WYMAT: This is America

    What a time we’re living in to witness some really historic feats. LeBron James carrying the Cavaliers, North Korea “destroying” their nuclear test sites, the government issuing 15,000 seasonal visas for folks working for at-risk of failing companies, Childish Gambino releasing a banger, and Trump making is easy to fire government workers.

    Becca’s Boys: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #1

    Let’s just rip the Band-Aid off: I’m a “Bachelor” fanatic. I’m not even embarrassed about it enough to label it a guilty pleasure. It’s an addiction, and I love it. Follow me this season as I break down the most dramatic season yet (and attempt to avoid spoilers). When we last saw Becca she was […]

    13 Reasons Why… Is this so popular?

    When I was a teenager, I read a book called 13 Reasons Why. It made my heart ache and I sobbed through most of it because it told one of the most tragic stories imaginable through the eyes of a victim who could no longer speak for herself.
