For no real reason, besides that I’ve always been passingly curious about the show and that I stumbled upon a fantastic review of this week’s episode “You Don’t Know How It Feels,” I decided to watch this week’s Cougar Towndespite never having caught a single episode of the show before this. For the record, […]
I’m bored with this whole Marshall and Lily conceiving storyline and this episode didn’t exactly have the zip and vigor of some of the all time best How I Met Your Mother episodes, but it did have something that I occasionally look to HIMYMÂ for (which I don’t feel like I get anywhere else): a legitimate, […]
I am sort of in love with this week’s Glee. The show is wildly inconsistent, don’t get me wrong, and that leads to some painfully bad episodes/moments. But it also means that even when I think I’ve seen exactly what this show is, it can come along with a little episode in between two […]

It’s rare that I post about a show before finishing the episode. It’s rarer still that I post about Glee, since I mostly like it, don’t love it, and let it wash over me in a musically induced coma. But while Kelly’s early review focused on the emotional arch of the most recent, and […]
Young Adult novels are like catnip for me. I eat them up like they’re about to disappear, and during the process I sink inside of them and stretch out like I’m meant to live there. Because of this, I read A LOT of young adult fiction, and even the worst of it tends to hold […]
