I’ve made a useful occupation of obsessing over Jamie Fraser for several years now, and episode 203 of Outlander, “Useful Occupations and Deceptions,” gave me even more material to swoon about. His hair alone deserves a blog in itself, but I dinna have the time for that, so I’ll just leave this here and move … More Outlander Superlatives: Episode 203, Useful Occupations and Deceptions
Outlander’s episode title hit the nail on the head this week: we are definitely not in Scotland anymore. (Yeesh. Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned nails, but I canna get them out of my head since the “Previously on…” looooooves showing us Black Jack hammering that nail into Jamie’s hand.)

I am a die-hard Bridget Jones’s Diary fan. If someone starts to say, “Do you know…” I immediately mentally fill in, “…where the toilets are?” and I’m pretty sure if I ever saw Salman Rushdie in person, I’d be like, “Loved your work at the Kafka’s Motorbike book launch.” Obviously, when it was announced that … More Bridget Jones’s Baby: All the Feels from the Trailer
For as far back as I can remember, Audrey Hepburn has been one of my greatest heroes. She was uniquely herself, she was an incredible humanitarian, and she made some of the best films of all time. I could spend all day watching and talking about her movies (and, quite often, I have), but … More 10 Lessons “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Taught Us
The most celebrated holiday of the year has finally arrived! No, I’m not talking about May Day. I’m clearly referring to Jamie Fraser’s birthday!

The Sound of Music turns fifty this week, which means that fans everywhere are reminiscing about their favorite songs, their favorite von Trapp kids and their favorite of Max Detweiler’s suits. (No?
