2013 Grammy Awards Exegesis
What a boring and lamentable gathering of untalented performers! Katy Perry‘s boobs were a magnificent distraction. The show’s most exciting moments were the arguments between me and my husband over Taylor Swift. He continues to defend her, which is obviously … Continue reading
Homeland
I’ve finally caught up with Homeland, after skipping the first season in a private protest against Claire Danes as a CIA agent. Now I’m cool with Claire, but Brody’s wife is a major irritant. Whenever the wife is onscreen, I find … Continue reading
