This week in food…it recently occurred to me that as I’m getting older, I’m starting to enjoy foods that I used to hate. For instance, cauliflower. It still looks like tiny brains and smells like shit when it’s cooking but I’m very much enjoying cauliflower nuggets and the cauliflower version of mashed potatoes (especially when you add cream cheese. YUM). And I’m also enjoying coffee, cantaloupe, and egg salad. I don’t know who I am anymore.
This week in listening…Mumford and Sons and Breaking Benjamin have new songs out. So does Halestorm. It’s candy for my ears.
This week in TV…Have you guys heard of the show Wayward Pines? It premieres next month and it has Matt Dillon, Melissa Leo, Terrance Howard, and a whole bunch of other really good, famous actors plus it’s based on a book series and I’m excited to check out both. It sort of reminds me of The Following mixed with Law and Order and a little horror and science fiction stuff thrown in. Because what I need in my day is another show that fucks with me.
This week in reading…Finished John Sandford’s Deadline because if Erin likes it, I have to check it out. Full recap coming on April 14 for Show Us Your Books. Resumed The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.
This week in excitement…Our Disney wristbands arrived! And, after a long, sordid tale involving a train derailment, my sister’s family got theirs, too! We’re really going! We’re really going!!!
This week in things that annoy me…couples who share a Facebook account. Not being able to rate with half stars on Goodreads. My dog peeing in the house 5 minutes after I let him out and he pees outside. Parents who are unnecessarily overinvolved in their kids’ activities and then complain that they have no time. Potholes. Wind. Still seeing Christmas recipes and activities on my Pinterest home page. Assholes. People who use poor grammar consistently because really, would using a comma or a period just one time kill you?
This week in internet reading…Did you guys read Kristin’s letter to books? No? Then you need to. Also, if you watched HBO’s airing of the Scientology documentary, you might be interested in Rolling Stone’s interview with Jason Beghe, who left the church. I’ve long said that if my life was ever made into a movie, I’d want Janeane Garofalo to play me, so I loved this post on Hello Giggles about the importance of Ms. Garofalo.
This week in funnies… Let’s start with this guy
Have a great weekend, y’all! Happy Passover and Easter! Or just happy weekend if you don’t celebrate either of those!
that is so true about the food as you get older. i hated coffee until 3 years ago. same for brussel sprouts.

Yes, to everything your are listening too! So good! We really need the half stars on Goodreads. I want to watch the video again just to hear his accent but I kinda laughed at some of the jokes. Happy Friday!

I am a newfound fan of cauliflower, too! And Brussel’s sprouts. These are things you couldn’t pay me to eat as a kid. Also, that scientology documentary? BUH NA NAS.

I’m the same way with food; fish and zucchini are good examples.
Couples that share Facebook pages, very very annoying. Very annoying, get your own lives!

i dont get couples who have a joint fb account or email account.
i had one woman ask me if i knew all of my husband’s passwords and i was like, “no, why would i even care about that?” and she legit says with a straight face: so you can read his email/stuff; how else would you know what he’s up to? <– i slowly backed away from her because clearly, she's nuts.

All of those things you listed annoy me too!!! I could feel my skin getting hot just reading some of them. I think I am extra rage-y today! I had to laugh at the carrying some crazy around because it is true. And the Golden Girls!!! YES!!!!! Hope you have a great weekend!
PS – Did my Disney band arrive too?

Yay for going to Disney. I hope you guys have a blast. We sure did!

Thanks for the shout out (even though I don’t think you enjoyed quirky Virgil as much as me). The half star dilemma makes me laugh because I want it too. But I saw someone suggest 1-10 stars, and that made me panic. Ha!
Now, I’m off to find Breaking Benjamin’s new song……

I saw a segment on ET about Wayward Pines. It looked so intriguing that I put the premiere date in my planner so I remember to DVR it! Great minds think alike…
When couples share a FB account, I just think “Oh, they don’t know how FB works…that’s kinda cute.”
Kristin recently posted…Happy things
Kristen’s letter to books was the cutest thing ever! Yay for Disney wristbands 🙂

I am so ridiculously excited for Breaking Benjamin’s new album! I’m also patiently awaiting them to start touring in more than the East coast.
The things that annoy you…YES YES and YES!
Analisa recently posted…New Year’s Resolutions
Wayward Pines sounds like it’s right up my alley. I’ll catch it when it streams somewhere if it’s worthy!
I’m buying Mad Men by the episode right now because I can’t wait six months for it.
YES to all of your annoying things.

My taste buds have also changed as I’ve grown older, like liking bitter foods, basil, and coffee without sugar. Are you liking the 100 Year Old Man? The things that annoy you also annoy me — dog accidents in the house, over-scheduled kids & the parents who schedule them but also complain. But can’t complain about today’s nice weather. Can complain about the rain the rest of the week.
I really want the cauliflower as brains image out of my mind!
I can’t wait for Wayward Pines! I love M. Night Shyamalan. I’ve had that Rolling Stones article bookmarked for a few weeks and forgot all about it. I gotta go read it now!
