Movie Review: Movie Review: 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days

Hey, ladies. You’d have to be living under a rock not to know that some people, many of them in power, want to take away your reproductive rights. And some of these people think if we outlaw abortion and lessen your access to birth control America will be right with God and nothing bad will befall our nation . But the following review shows how horrifying it is for women who have no reproductive rights at all. This movie, "4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days" is both timeless and timely, and one th

Worldly Distractions: The Big Bang Theory 6.20 - The Tenure Turbulence

As mentioned before, I live in a house of nerds. Roommate 1 is just like Wolowitz, Roommate 2 is just like Sheldon, and – well, we’ve never been able to find a BBT character for me. But the fact is we’re all devoted to the show. Sure, it’s very very light comedy. Sure, there are much more “authentically nerdy†shows out there – Community was once an excellent example. One cannot deny, however, that the show has a huge amount of appeal. It has created characters far from the norm and

Worldly Distractions: Community 4.8 - Herstory of Dance

CFK has emerged from the pits of Essay Hell to bring you another recap! (PS: Anyone know anything about medieval literature?) To my nerdy group of college students, Community was a breath of fresh air. Presenting a charming group of weirdos in clever and innovative fashion – not to mention parodying everything we hold dear – the show gave us three fabulous seasons . My roommates and I still talk about the divide between “Good†and “Pierceâ€. So it was very Pierce when the network B

Worldly Distractions: Modern Family 4.19 - "The Future Dunphys"

Hello, and welcome back to Worldly Distractions! A serious lack of The Simpsons and How I Met Your Mother led us directly back to Modern Family this week. I’m sure you’re all thrilled. So, what’s in store for the Dunphy-Pritchett-Delgado-Tuckers this week? Let’s take a look. At the Dunphy household, things are a teensy bit tense. Claire’s little heart problem has led to an angiogram (that’s where they inject dye into you to see if your arteries are ‘sploding) and she is totall

I Read It So You Don't Have To: The Simplicity Primer-365 Ideas for Making Life More Livable by Patrice Lewis

Always on the hunt for books on simplifying one’s life, especially in a chaotic and stressful world, I was initially excited to come across Patrice Lewis’ book “The Simplicity Primer: 365 Ideas for Making Life More Livable.†Sadly, this book was a huge disappointment. On a positive note, Ms. Lewis is a good writer. And I like how her primer is divided into several sections on topics like marriage, raising children, running a household, the workplace, and saving money. These passages

Worldly Distractions: Modern Family 4.18 – “The Wow Factor�

Ah, Modern Family, we meet again. Darling of the Emmys, prince of ratings, fan favourite of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney alike. And yet, somehow your lustre has dimmed. Is it simply backlash? An acclimatization to your brand of humour? Or simply a dip in quality from four years on the air? Let’s take a look at tonight’s episode and see. We cold open with Claire and Cam trying to flip their house, complete with Cam’s girliest screech. Is it just me, or have the guys been getting more f

Worldly Distractions: How I Met Your Mother Recap - 8.20 - The Time Travelers

Spacesuits and singing and Ted, oh my! Hello, readers, and welcome to Worldly Distractions! Here we will recap some of the not-so-Godly diversions that television has to offer. Special notation will be taken when its content happens to coincide with FJ themes, but series of all types will be covered. Let’s begin with our very first recap, arriving at How I Met Your Mother’s penultimate season. Spoilers abound. Okay, so we can acknowledge this show has been off its game for a while, ri

Meet crazyforkate

CrazyForKate (“CFK”). Based in Canada. I’m about to finish a BA in Russian Language and Literature and Cinema Studies, then travel around the globe teaching English to people foolish enough to put me in charge. I’m unhealthily obsessed with the movies and take pride in my classic film nerditude. When not trying to find ways to turn “incessant discussion of dead filmmakers” into a way of life, I sing opera and study current North American politics, especi

Meet floridaotaku

I am a media junkie and board-lurker extraordinaire, who became interested in fundie-watching back on the original (infamous!) TWOP 14 Kids and Pregnant Again forum. I can hardly believe I have devoted (read: wasted) so many years to Duggar watching, but it’s like a magnificent kaleidoscope of horrors  - so scary, so shiny – that I just can’t seem to stop. I was raised pretty standard issue Baptist, with a preteen switch to evangelical non-denominational thrown in fo

      Went here tonight for dinner

      They have a kind of Juicy Lucy called the Blucy - which is a type of Juicy Lucy with blu cheese.  When my mom, sister, brother in law, and niece were up last weekend we went to the 42nd street location in Minneapolis.  Tonight I went to the Como Ave location instead.  Yeah, it hit the spot.
