Gravity Falls
I happen to love it when I don't discover a TV show until it's completely run its course and I can watch the entire series from start to finish without the annoyance of waiting during a hiatus for new episodes. It's an amazing time to be alive, having access to services like Netflix and Hulu, … Continue reading Gravity Falls

Kids, do you realize that Saved By the Bell is available to watch on Netflix any time you want to see it? You can't see the college years, but that was a poorly executed, if well-intentioned idea anyway. What you can see is every episode featuring Zack Morris and the original gang from Bayside High. … Continue reading Why Zack and Kelly Never Should Have Broken Up
Binging Parenthood
Did I type that right? When you binge watch something, are you binging the show? Because that looks like it should be pronounced bing-ing. Like Googling, except you, for some reason, use Bing. Why you'd do that to yourself, I don't know. But what I want you to hear in your head when you read … Continue reading Binging Parenthood
Day Twenty Five
My Day, In Great Detail I thought about writing this post earlier in the day today and writing the details about yesterday. But I was at work. And, for me, work involves confidential information that I really shouldn't openly share on a blog. So you're getting my day today. It was the beginning of Thanksgiving … Continue reading Day Twenty Five
