Someone talk books and movies with me
And as my husband is halfway down a cave today and I am terrified of such activities, I got a huge chuckle out of this (my apologies if misquoted slightly):

"I got into caving as a kind of way of cheating on my wife. She was afraid of heights and didn't like me climbing. So I did it in reverse."

I love Some Like It Hot so much. Now I'm going to have to go rewatch Double Indemnity.

Maybe he should have shopped at Predator REI instead of Predator Kmart

I've seen this one titled "Jesus showing off his top surgery to the boys"

One teacher my kid had would give out 1 token each at the start of the day. You could lose for poor behavior or get an extra for extremely good (so never). End of the day raffle for 1 kid to choose something from the plastic junk prize box. But you need to go to the bathroom? That costs a token.

That sounds fun. I'll have to look into that series

In Hill House this sentence stands out to me as the kind of thing high school English teachers dream about:

"The only person in the world she genuinely hated, now that her mother was dead, was her sister."

So much conveyed with so few words. It's deceptively simple, but Jackson was so skillful.

Wolf Winter by Cecilia Ekbäck is excellent. Religion is an important core of it, although it's not demons and curses horror if that's more what you're looking for.

Yes! They got a bunch of really stellar authors to write their stories in the universe and they're great.

IMMEDIATELY looking this up

Let me know if you find my wit while you're down there. I can't remember where I left it.

Oh thank the gods, I misread it as he's running

This is absolutely baffling. How are laptop bags any better for trip hazards?

Maybe, but "ok" actually predates "okay". The full spelling was a sort of backward fill-in.

Revisiting WoW is a similar feeling to visiting my home city. Not nostalgia; just hollow memory of having been there once. That memory place doesn't exist any more. And no, nothing will ever recapture that excited fear of cat-form sneaking into a new zone way outside my level for the 1st time.

Season 1 was not for me, but my partner loved it. Season 2 has been enthralling.
