NYC expat in the California Bay Area. I edit Star Wars books and need Real Housewives for sustenance. My husband is disabled due to #stroke, so I also rant about our health care system and #disability issues.

I don't know business speak, can someone tell me what "SG&A" stands for in this context? "We remain highly focused on reducing costs across the enterprise to create incremental capacity to invest for growth and are evaluating a variety of levers, including reductions in labor and SG&A."

My mom died of colon cancer. For pete's sake, (as she would have said) get your fucking regular colonoscopy. If you're lucky and your mom didn't die of colon cancer it's only once every ten years. It could save your life.

Well, I am of colonoscopy age now and I got my first-ever one yesterday. The prep wasn't fun but not as awful as I'd imagined. My appt was at 6am on Monday, I was home just after 7am. There's no recovery except catching up on the sleep you missed. So, if you need a nudge to get yours, this is it!

Imagine going to the library and asking for help finding something specific on ancient persia and instead of taking you to the books the librarian gave you a 15 second off the cuff summary of persia and then tried to sell you persian rugs or directed you to persian cat rescues or a vacation in Susa

In case you're not on Instagram, which is the only social media on my phone, here's a rundown of SDCC so far: * The Mandalorian and Grogu: Danger in the Dark has a fancy foil cover! * We announced The Mandalorian and Grogu: Nightmare on Nevarro, out this October! * I did not win the Scribe Award 😭

Really enjoyed this interview. I thought Daniel Hart did a tremendous job capturing Lestat's life through song. What are your favorite songs from the season? Mine, though I waffle: 1) Stained Glass Eyes 2) The Loneliness 3) Big Boss (for the LOLZ) 4) Brutal Love 5) Big Bad Wolf #TheVampireLestat

Daniel Hart has worked on #IWTV from the beginning, but the amount of music in #TheVampireLestat eclipses last season "two or three times over." I spoke with the series composer about everything from closely collaborating with Sam Reid to drafting the season's final song on the road:

It's fine to talk about box office performance and story issues, but "The Mandalorian and Grogu" is full of practical sets and puppets, as well as an impressive stop-motion sequence. It's gross for Hollywood Reporter to call the hard work from that team "lazy" when it was anything but.
