There’s an annoyingly perky and effusive character named Binky in this episode of Murder, She Wrote and as soon as I heard his voice I looked up and said, “is that Q!?” (it was and his bold print golf pants are out of frame)

Tonight found Jessica Fletcher in a women’s prison when a riot broke out, and unless there was a taxi driver at the beginning that I missed, not a single man had an on-screen or speaking role in the entire episode.

I didn’t realize Ohio had our own style of nachos, but then again, the only place that I’ve seen kettle chip with warm blue cheese on the menu other than this mention of Cap City Diner was the “fancy” restaurant in the small Ohio town where I went to college. www.saveur.com/article/reci...

In tonight’s episode of Murder, She Wrote, Angela Lansbury is pulling a Parent Trap and playing her own British cousin who is a singing theater actress in London.

Linda Blair, Rue McClanahan, and the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding get on a bus. Not a joke, just another episode of Murder, She Wrote.

Just switched from curling to men’s hockey and they’re interviewing a player from the Blue Jackets

Slightly ashamed to admit that the only reason I know there’s an eclipse this year is because Hallmark has an eclipse-themed movie premiering soon.

“Just because the Almighty gave people a taste for lobsters doesn’t mean that he gave lobsters a taste for being boiled alive.” Jessica Fletcher really has some quips, doesn’t she.

“Back in Cabot Cove the only thing we have with claws are lobsters, and we eat them!” I started Murder She Wrote from the pilot and it’s already delightful.

Randomly thinking about how sad I still am that Other Space was cancelled. In 2015.

Just looked up to see a commercial featuring a singing clump of hair in a bathroom drain and am regretting my decision to watch this football game

Roku City is currently an Olympic village with the Italian mountains in the background and Zamboni and snow mobiles instead of cars and I love it so much. Taking the whimsy where I can find it.

I love curling so much. “Corey sells real estate in Duluth and is one of the top athletes in the world.” Just a guy. Amazing.

I keep doing the math and realizing I could be the mom of so many of these Olympians. This lil baby US snowboarder was born in 2009.

The Olympics can’t escape Ohio. I have women’s hockey on and the commentators mentioned that there’s like 5 OSU hockey players on Team USA this year.

Nothing unites the world like booing at JD Vance at the Olympic opening ceremonies, apparently.

I saw a post about Muppets star signs and then went down a rabbit hole finding characters for each astrological sign based on their canonical birthdays. According to this I am a Cookie Monster sun, Baby Bear moon, and Oscar the Grouch rising.

This is who runs this account

Frogs (1972) Just kidding it’s ridiculous but it does star a pre-mustache baby Sam Elliott

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college Aesthetics Creative Writing History of Graphic Design Web Development Graphic Novels as Literature (self-directed special topic course)

Draped a giant blanket over the bed to fight the cold tonight and after snuggling under the covers and realizing what a nice toasty pocket I’d created my brain actually went “am I a ravioli right now?”

Well at least this Dove channel movie theoretically set in Ohio got the flag right

My parents bought 40lbs of bananas for $8. They are those people in the math word problems you had to solve in the fifth grade.

Look I’m glad they’re finally plowing and doing snow removal at my apartment complex but did it have to be at 2 in the morning!? One thing NOT conducive to a good nights sleep is large machinery scraping asphalt right outside your window.

I’m watching some movie on the Dove channel and they are really using the tagline “Live. Laugh. Dove.”

I’ve been watching a series about the FBI made in 2005 and having used Photoshop in that era, I CANNOT believe that they could take a digital photo of a car — taken from across the street — and zoom in far enough to read the parking garage name on the sticker on the windshield.

Turns out my hunker down blizzard plans are basically the same as my regular weekend plans.

They pre-salted the streets of my apartment complex for the first time ever so you know it’s going to be bad.

Should I make this my life’s mission, though? I’m tempted to do it and blog or podcast about it but that feels so 2008. And I’ve already seen literally hundreds. Unless…

is that a challenge

One thing I like to do to cheer myself up is check what Facebook Marketplace thinks I’m interested in. It’s always the wildest combination of things. Today’s feed included: - Vintage Garfield alarm clock - Giant box of only cherry Laffy Taffy - 90s Babysitters Club sleeping bag - An actual hearse

Just scolded my cat for licking the shower curtain liner and she paused, made direct eye contact with me through the clear plastic, and started licking it again. It’s not even wet. Are all black cats like this or is mine a special edition?

The time has finally come: I’m starting the 16-movie series of Garage Sale Mysteries on Hallmark.

I have a post going viral on Threads and what is even happening with their algorithm over there because obviously I thought this was clever enough to post but not 140k+ views clever??

Things I’ve had to tell my cat not to lick JUST TODAY: - Laptop - Lampshade - Shower curtain liner - Lit Christmas tree lights

I’ve been watching an older show featuring a deaf woman and her hearing support dog, and my favorite thing is that in the credits, the dog is not only first on the cast list but is described as “Levi (the dog)” and the dog actor has a first and last name credited.

Just thinking about how, for most of my life, the song “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf has been the soundtrack to diaper commercials, not a rebel anthem.

Hallmark keeps using the same aerial footage of a small town with a boulevard as an establishing shot, I swear I’ve seen this in at least five movies already and am going to start keeping track. Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas (2021)

“Your coat reminds me of my grandma’s back porch furniture.” The coat in question, which I love and is now 20+ years old:

Not sure what Staples thinks is in store for my career in 2026 that this is a “business essential” but I’m here for it.

Rude but accurate

Wasn’t expecting the analogy “questions multiplying as quickly as tribbles” in this holiday romance novel but not mad about it.

Today I learned that barely a year out of high school, in 1970, my dad bought a brand new Camero for $2,200.00

TIL you can get a modern “landline” (a home phone that works through your wifi) and one of the options for a receiver is a hamburger phone. You can also get a working rotary phone. www.ooma.com/home-phone-s...

@talcotts.bsky.social A new-to-me holiday movie set in Ohio, have you seen this one? boxd.it/nfqI

Bring it on, Horror Scoops

Hallmark gets a bad rap for cheesy holiday movies but I was scrolling through another platform today and found a movie called “Santa Stole Our Dog: A Merry Doggone Christmas!” so I will not be hearing any more Hallmark slander. www.imdb.com/title/tt5801...

When scrolling streaming apps for holiday romance movies there’s a difference between “that sounds so cheesy” and “that sounds so cheesy, I have to watch it.” I can’t explain it. It’s just vibes.

So we’re all watching The Sheep Detectives when it comes out, right? This looks bonkers in the best way. www.imdb.com/title/tt3256...
