Unbreakable!

It's a miracle!

I really, really, REALLY hope you're singing the rest of the theme song in your head right now. If you aren't, you seriously need to drop everything and get on Netflix.

No, like legit. Stop what you're doing. Seriously...stop!

This is just a friendly public service announcement to let you know that you have almost exactly one month to get caught up on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. And by "get caught up," I mean binge watch. And by "binge watch," I mean "watch all 13 episodes in one glorious five-to-six hour evening." Or night. Or morning, I'm not judging you.

In case you don't know, Kimmy Schmidt is one of Netflix's original shows about a young woman, Kimmy Schmidt {she's unbreakable, by the way}. Kimmy escaped from a doomsday cult and now lives in New York City. Think 13 Going on 30 mixed with New Girl and a splash of pinot noir {are you picking up what I'm putting down there? If not, watch episode 6}. Written by Tina Fey {who's hilarious, obviously}, it stars Ellie Kemper {from The Office and Bridesmaids} as Kimmy and Jane Krakowski {the woman from the Trop 50 commercials} as her rich, trophy-wife boss. Then you've got Kimmy's gay actor roommate, Titus Andromedon, her ex-hippie landlady, Lillian Kauschtupper, and the Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne {the cult leader played by Jon Hamm}.

There isn't a bad episode in the group. The whole season takes six and a half-ish hours to complete, and who doesn't have that much time just floating around in the air? Seriously, though, this is the only show I've ever truly binge watched. Sure, I've done four or five episode marathons of Supernatural or Once Upon a Time, but to watch an entire season in one sitting? I'd never done that before.

Netflix dropped the trailer for season 2, and it looks fantastic.
The new season drops Friday April 15. I know what I'll be doing that night {seriously, leave me alone on that day...I'll be very busy eating gummy sharks and drinking pinot noir}.

BT-dubs, can we just talk about how wonderful the month of April is going to be? Outlander premieres on April 9, and the new season of Game of Thrones starts April 24.

It's going to be hashbrownAWESOME!

'Cuz females are strong as hell.

Being Kinda "Knotty"

Image
I have a confession to make. I'm about to bore you to tears. Okay, maybe not literally, but I'm writing about something I find terribly exciting, and there are those of you, dear readers, who may not agree. So I'm giving you an out. Right now, just stop reading. Is anyone still there? Good. Because we're about to get "knotty." I love to knit. There, I said it. If I could do nothing but knit, read, write, and drink tea, I'd be a very contented person. Not exciting, just contented. I've been knitting for a few years now. I wish I could say I learned from my grandmother or something that sounds much better than "I learned from Youtube." Actually, that doesn't sound too bad--Youtube is pretty indispensable when it comes to knitting. You can watch videos of all the stitches, which makes it easier to catch on sometimes. Up until recently, though, my knitting has not been varied. I knit scarves (the essential beginner project). I've

Who do you think you are?

How much do you know about where you came from?  I'm talking big picture here, not what you know about your home town or state. Genealogically.  Most of us know stories that have been passed down. We know that our grandmother's family has Irish roots, for example, and that our several-greats-grandfather fought in the continental army or that our great-grandmother's cousin just disappeared and there was never any trace of him after the Crash of '29. But how much do we really  know about our ancestors?  I am a bit of a genealogy nut--most of my family seems to be--and I have an ancestry.com account, which has proved most interesting to peruse. But all I know are names and some dates--I don't know anything about the kind of people they were, what they liked or disliked. They had children--were they good parents? Did she have a special recipe that she made at Christmas? Did he have a hobby like whittling or playing the guitar? Were there places she alwa

Questions: Round 1

In my last post, I asked for questions from my readers. I didn't have ridiculously high expectations--not because I don't have faith in my readers!!! But I know that if I read somebody's blog and they invited me to ask questions, I would be very hesitant to do so. Nobody wants to be first. Nobody wants to think that the blogger (me) is sitting there, laughing out loud at the questions and judging the asker. I get it. I promise I understand. I only had one intrepid reader who gave me some fodder for my blog posts, which is fine. I actually was not surprised by the fact that this reader gave me so many questions to answer. Of course, to understand why, one must go back to our time at ISU when she was working a late shift at the Info Desk in the student center and I was sitting in our dorm room when a Facebook chat window popped up, begging for some kind of question/answer quiz she could take before she died of boredom. Add to that hours and hours of Sporcle quizzes (hence
