The Snook and I started exploring the possibility of moving overseas for a while. Yeah, that’s working out well for us now. https://t.co/xgBbehInef

I’ve been doing a rewatch of True Blood, and earlier today the Snook rolled his eyes at how silly and campy it was. I have now just pointed out the irony while watching “I, Claudius.” IT’S THE SAME. (He concedes the point.)


John Hurt is AMAZING and SO CREEPY. (That’s his great-grandma btw.) https://t.co/MQ49bfcFq2

@hannahyanfield @gilmae And Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (both of which are from books by Ian Fleming!). #uselesstrivia


@gilmae @hannahyanfield Hand on heart, I woke up with Duran Duran’s “A View to a Kill” in my head and just made Spotify play it. Legit banger.
