I almost teared up the first time I saw these at Sprouts, lol. A green bean casserole just isn’t complete without them.

Four Christmas Movies to get to know me by: 1940s edition
The poster for the 1940 MGM picture The Shop Around The Corner starring Margaret Sullivan and James Stewart. The poster is hand drawn and shows two people at a shop counter holding hands and leaning in like they are going to kiss. There’s a close up drawing of the two stars in the background. The poster for the 1945 film Christmas in Connecticut, starring the gorgeous Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, and Sydney Greenstreet. The poster shows the two younger stars on a rocking chair embracing in joy. There’s older star is shown above them smiling benevolently. The poster for Frank Capra’s 1946 film It’s A Wonderful Life. It stars James Stewart and Donna Reed. The poster shows Jimmy Stewart lifting Donna Reed up into the air. They both have loving smiles on their faces. The poster for the 1949 film Holiday Affair starring Robert Mitchum, Janet Leigh, and Wendell Corey. The hand drawn poster shows Janet Leigh gift wrapped and posing near a christmas tree, Robert Mitchum looking up at her with interest, Wendell Corey looking over his shoulder unhappily, and Janet Leigh’s movie son with presents in his arms looking up at his mom and Robert Mitchum happily.

A screenshot of Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing For Kids from the mid 90s. The screenshot features Mavis sitting at her computer in the living room, while both of her grandparents sit in chairs behind her near the fireplace. Her dog is sitting in the middle of the room. The bottom of the screen shows hands typing on a keyboard, a script that shows letters that you type, an alarm clock, a question mark, and a door to exit the screen.

This reminds me that I randomly had this as one of my recommendations on youtube last week with no context for it (and it was delightful)
A screenshot of a youtube video by user MEpearl. It’s titled Trick or Treat Possum Style. The picture is of an older woman surrounded by sheets and halloween balloons. She has two opossums on the table in front of her. One is wearing a princess costume and the other is wearing a jester costume.

Thank you, me too! I’m just glad I’m paranoid enough to check and double check. It makes me feel better to be able to track it 😅

Yes, this is so gross and only getting worse! I was looking at a free voucher for paxlovid but you have to let them use your information and “any other information they may have” to target you for ads across multiple platforms. I’m so done with privacy violations. SO done.

I wanted to finally start a subscription to my local paper after watching The Paper and they literally wouldn’t even let me make an account to do so without agreeing to tracking 🙃
A screenshot that I took while trying to make an account to start a subscription to my local paper. It shows the “create account” greyed out and unclickable because I did not give my consent to the tracking and sharing of my information with third parties. screenshot that I took while trying to make an account to start a subscription to my local paper.

reading comics is kind of fun actually

because hey, I recognize that now
A picture of a comic panel that shows Superman backed up to a wall where he is eavesdropping on men inside a bungalow. In the panel he is saying Boravia. Civil War. So that’s their game. A picture of the comic that the panel is from. It comes from the second issue of Superman. The cover shows Superman hovering over some snowy mountain tops. The cover is yellow and red with Superman at the top in blue. The title of the comic that the panel is from. Superman Champions Universal Peace. It lists Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster as the creators.

A picture of Reilly and Jonesy from Letterkenny in sleeveless tank tops, board shorts, and flip flops. They are both wearing backward caps. They’re standing with their hands in their pockets in front of some train tracks.

The reference for these two characters are definitely Reilly and Jonesy from Letterkenny, right? Like it’s not just me?
A picture of the cover or the Buffy ‘97 comic. It features Buffy The Vampire Slayer crossing her arms and holding stakes in each hand. She has a determined look on her face. The creators of the comic are listed at the bottom. Jeremy Lambert, Marianna Ignazzi, Mattia Iacono, and Ed Dukeshire. A picture of the inside of the Buffy ‘97 comic book. There are multiple panels featuring two bro dudes in sleeveless tank tops and backwards caps. I believe their likeness to be taken from Reilly and Jonesy from Letterkenny.

Not annoying, if anything it makes things like this color interview from an early food network show about the origin of buffalo wings more fun
A picture of a man with a sweet mustache and ‘80s glasses sitting down at a restaurant table in the midst of talking about buffalo wings saying sittin down in front of the tv in front of the bills game. I believe it’s from an early Unwrapped episode.

I’ve watched and enjoyed a lot of movies based on comics but today is the first time I ever felt compelled to seek out my local comic shop because of one. Currently having a lot of fun reading about Superman kicking the ass of greedy and corrupt rich people.
A picture of All Star Superman and Superman The First Superhero comic collections. All Star Superman cover has Superman sitting on a cloud and looking over Metropolis. Superman The First Superhero has Superman lifting a smashed up green ‘40s era car over his head and two bad guys looking perturbed. A third bad guy is in the background running away. A picture of two comics from DC. Superman Number One, the complete story of the daring exploits of the one and only Superman. The cover is yellow and has Superman floating in the sky looking down at tall buildings. The second comic is Adventure Comics Number 210. It is the comic that introduces Krypto, the Superdog from Krypton. The cover features a flying Superman flying next to a floating safe that is being carried by Krypto. Superman is saying Oh no, Krypto thinks I’m playing a game with him. He’s fetching back the safe I just left at town hall.
