Highlight of my year
I was able to use “Savoyard” in a review.
Granted, it was of a Gilbert and Sullivan show, but still.
I don't know about you but I want extremely rare...

"Last Day of the Year" by Groovelily
Look how fast this year’s gone by Spring has somehow slipped away I barely saw the summer sky Autumn seems like yesterday I never read those top-ten books I never took that trip to France Did nothing to improve my looks I never learned to salsa dance I didn’t be all I could be I didn’t see all I could see I didn’t call on Mother’s Day I cannot wash my sins away And I would not dwell on the past If...

Dear Gilbert and Sullivan
One Jersey Shore reference is funny. Two are overkill.

Here's a list of the most interesting concepts...
That’s different than a top 10 list, because I can’t come up with one of those. I will say, though, that The Scottsboro Boys, Bachelorette, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Time Stands Still and The Normal Heart would comprise the top 5, in no particular order.
So here are the shows with the most interesting concepts that I’ve seen all year. They may not have been completely...

Some journalism tips from Texas:
1. Don’t use a $10 word when a nickel one will do.
2. “Good” is the enemy of “great.”
3. The less a reporter says, the more she hears.
4. A degree from Columbia J-school will get you a year at the city desk of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and then you’ll be teaching English in a high school football town in Texas.

heyveronica:
Well I mean, the snow storm delayed and canceled a bunch of trains….that’s an everyday occurrence for the LIRR.
So is near normal like 2 or 3 trains running?

I have decided that I will be using Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark as a piece of the theater and message boards, social media and blogs paper I will be delivering at the Comparative Drama Conference in March.
Carry on.
If I was a girl, I would get pregnant as many times as possible, then have abortions after the third month of being pregnant so I would deliver a potato sized 1/3 developed dead fetus, then I would take the fetus, put it in a jar of preservative liquid and put it on a shelf in a secret room in my house. and i would do it until I had so many rooms walls were nothing but potato sized aborted...
Aborting My Baby
mybiggestregretever:
My biggest regret ever is aborting my baby. I aborted my baby almost 2 years ago and if I could go back and change it I would. I see these other girls with their babies and I almost want to cry because I know I could be a better mother than any of those girls. I just didn’t have the resources and I wasn’t ready and it would have been selfish of me to do it. I think about...

Subways (for Veronica)
Dunno bout the 1 specifically but the 7 took as long and miserably as it usually does with no changes. And that’s above ground. So I imagine the 1 is just as fine. MTA’s website will surely have more info.

seamonuments:
Really, do NOT cheat me out of moves I obviously hit. Piece of shit, clearly if I can beat the inhuman level on the MJ Experience, then your broadway showtune bullshit is amateur for someone with skills like mine. Step up YOUR game, not me.
But really, do not cheat me out of anything. Goddamnit.
I got a free promo copy of this and I cannot figure out how to play.

A Short Film By Marc Butcavage
Man, I sure love that song by Rusted Root that is in all those trailers for movies where people drive or walk a long distance and learn that their differences aren’t as important as their similarities. Right?
This is one of my SL4B$ all-time favorites.
