The first episode of Seinfeld, titled The Seinfeld Chronicles and more of a “special” than a series pilot, premiered when I was about 18 months old and the much maligned series finale aired a few months after I turned 10. Learning these dates astonished me because, while I knew Seinfeld was a”90s” show, this means there is basically no chance I saw a single episode “live”- at least not intentionally. My parents watched Seinfeld but I can’t imagine them enjoying it with their tween children. Regardless, I’ve seen every […]
Everything is Improved with an English Accent
The Versions of Us was billed as a mixture between One Day and Sliding Doors which was enough to get me interested. In all three versions Eva, a Cambridge college student in 1958, has an issue with her bicycle. In two of the three time lines she is rescued by Jim, a law student who would rather be studying art, and in the third they go their separate ways down the street. In both instances that Eva and Jim meet Eva breaks up with her actor boyfriend, David, but in […]
“Dear Y.A., don’t let the bastards get you down! Your friend, Chick Lit”
When I was in college I didn’t read for “fun” a lot. Between the required reading I had for the handful of literature classes I took, the assigned reading from textbooks, drinking and dorm wide Grey’s Anatomy viewing parties there wasn’t a lot of time. Chick-lit slowly welcomed me back into the world of reading for pleasure. Jennifer Weiner, Lauren Weisberger, Jen Lancaster and Anna Maxted reminded me that reading was fun and my bookshelves are still dotted in pink and green from that time in my […]
“I lost a Tony award to Broadway legend Audra McDonald when I was twelve so I’ve been a bitter bitch since before my first period.”
Anna Kendrick is one of those people who I probably like more for their real world personality (Instagram and Twitter) than her body of work. I enjoyed the first Pitch Perfect but was disappointed by the sequel and my husband will never forgive me for dragging him to see Into the Woods. I’ve only soberly seen the first Twilight (although I believe I’ve been in a room showing the next two in the series) but I remember being pleasantly surprised by her performance in Up in the Air since she was […]

Peach Pie is a little too Saccharine for my Tastes
