Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

 Okay, when is this season ending? Yikes this is a really intense conversation I hope Sumit is in therapy "I knew this thing was going to be a big drama show," says a woman on a reality TV show Yeah Sumit shouldn't come live at home even if he and Jenny don't work out It is interesting that someone finally asked Jenny how she feels about dating a young man Jenny, Sumit's mom was so nice to you Jenny's story is very different than Sumit's parents' sotry JENNY DIDN'T WANT HER DAUGHTER TO GET MARRIED TO HER WIFE? IS THIS WHAT WE'RE SAYING? THEY'RE THE BEST COUPLE Jenny, you haven't been in this situation before because you haven't been dating a man the age of your son before whose parents don't want you to marry Yikes Sumit's mom is threatening suicide which is emotionally abusive Sumit is saying he won't marry Jenny, but will magically get her citizenship Obaida is hot brother's name This translator is making bank Yaza...

This is me trying drafts of the same haiku. Which is your favorite? If we find fall oh so beautiful and bracing, why do we fear death? Crisp breezes float red detritus across my nose. Ends are so dazzling. Warm colors cut cool air, balancing all my senses, and worlds' energy. Warm reds and crisp leaves fill mem'ries, reminding us Death can be vibrant Beautiful leaves rasp against autumnal breezes. Oh, ends are striking (Prompt by me) "Dancing in the street." by Bernard Spragg. NZ

 Just five haikus I wrote The sunlight came out in time to sink low and fade, such does all stardust. Red and green twinkles to shine out tis the season of online shopping. How did soft fall so below hardness? Why is not pillowy vital? Pinkish hills pockmark the soft landscape. Peasants poke to clear, but they grow. How colorful plants brimming with poison can be, flashing 'consume me.' (Prompt by me) "sunset" by Andy Miccone

 I'm still learning about my doggo. He likes to peel the bark off of sticks He will get focused on one toy and ignore you if you throw another toy for him to fetch He looks great in his holly collar He gets random bursts of herding energy when I walk him and he runs around me in small circles He doesn't seem to dig on his own, but if there is a hole that has been dug, he will dig it deeper/wider I am always tempted to buy him more toys He loves the dog park for fetch and socialization, but doesn't care about any of the extras He loves chai even though it isn't great for him He thinks he's a good cat chaser even though the one cat he's barked at hardly acknowledges him being there He is better about trying to get my attention He tends to nap in the morning No game is better than fetch (but tug-of-war is sometimes okay) He needs more practice in his booties I am more and more convinced that he is an Australian Cattle Dog, Jack Rusell, and Shiba Inu mix He always w...

Tis the season (well, always cause it's my name). I am also a child I guess when it comes to my name Dress Facemask Pants Scarf Blanket Plates Necklace Earrings Bracelet Sheets Scrunchie Nail polish sticker or whatever you call it Hair clips Return address labels Sweater (Prompt by me) "holly-316864" by Mike Goad

 Now I know it's hard to think of things this year, but dig deep! My family. They have been helping carry me through this rough year My friends. Ditto on the family note Hoban and Velma. I know I lost Velma, but I'm still so thankful for all she did for me Photographs. They help remind me of happy times when happy times seem far away Long baths. They help calm me on the roughest of days Living near a large park. Not only is this good for my dog, it's nice to walk among trees with ease Digital communication. Where would I have been this year without it? Quaran-hobbies. Helps give a positive touch to this year, plus I like to think it brings some small joy to the world My favorite podcasts. They keep me company on long work days and long walks The 90 Day  franchise. Yes, it is insane but it helps me de-stress and I love talking about it with friends The Chicks's Gaslighter  album. This album helped me feel so much this year Al anon. This support group helps me in ways my ...

 Out early! My god, do we need the back story of everyone each episode? I don't think you should be buckled in with your backpack thou shalt not do anything bad I doubt that this procedure actually burns fat cells permanently What was with the sketch of pretending it wasn't a speakeasy? Why are you giving them Range Rovers? 25% of your employees being pregnant for the first time with boys is a weird coincidence Jen's shoes continue to be insane I do appreciate learning more about Mormonism (although I do take it what I learn with a grain of salt) Oh wow I assumed Heather left her husband, but it was the other way around I agree that divorce shouldn't be the be all end all of your life, but saying it means nothing is also inaccurate Salt Lake City does look beautiful Meredith doesn't know that a blender needs a top I love when the dogs get a lower third Jen wants to be a 1920s madam Is Jen just exposing herself and saying "grinder/Grindr"? So her vagina was...

 Another Crazy Ex-Girlfriend  parody song! Watch the original "Group Hang" here . [LEAD, spoken] The night was going lonely, amigo. I was having a microwave Mexican meal. Or Cali-Mex... Cali-Mex-Italian... I don’t really know what this food is! But my time all alone was cut short by the scheduled call of Zoom...   [ENSEMBLE] La la, la la la!   [LEAD] It was a Zoom hang, Zoom hang We’re staying so safe in a Zoom hang! A Zoom hang, Zoom hang Do we really need all these windows?   It was a bright, shiny world For you and me And a magical place Where we wandered free Then Corona showed up And tore us apart It’s a force of evil A knife through my heart   [ENSEMBLE] Jack box, Among Us, trivia games, Netflix party watches!   [LEAD] A Zoom hang, Zoom hang We’re staying so safe in a Zoom hang A Zoom hang, Zoom hang I'm so afraid of crashes!   Now you’re telling a story 'Bout some neighbor Dirk...

Time for a Royal mess (episode name) It shouldn't be River and Winter having to separate the producer and Royal...where was security? ROYAL IS THE ONE THROWING STONES Wow Angenette called royal a bitch I am so glad Angenette is getting a hug Lidia is in a full on MIB suit Lidia really just asked since when she treated Alejandro badly I agree that Nicole should've asked if Alejandro could stay, but let's talk proportionate responses Lidia you just said you don't know Alejandro, but now you're saying that he's not the right one for her The perks are limited when they're long distance, to be fair Wait how do you know that Alejandro has no values or morals? Man wait til Lidia finds out Alejandro is married Staying at a different hotel was the right call, Angenette The flowers don't make up for it all, Royal Pedro wasn't even in the street, Royal Royal is straight up lying about Chantel (IMO) Royal, saying the baby isn't yours is just a joke Angenette...

 Murder talk this episode? Jenny and Sumit continue to be told exactly what they know already No, Sumit, you did say to invite your brother to the ring ceremony Dear god are we postponing the ring ceremony again Sumit, you feel like you're letting Jenny down because you are I can't wait to see how this translator handles what Yazan is trying to say Why is Angela here for this very serious talk? Disown feels stronger than lose his family I feel like Brittany is realizing how real this is now So when are we getting to murder? Brittany, if only you knew what this man was risking Why didn't we see Ari's dad leave? Ari and Biniyam are not communicating any better, this is true No, you are not making the right decision about where to live because if you live in the US then Biniyam could be in the same country as both of his children Your house is dirty, Deavan, cause you have two kids Deavan and Jihoon do have a nice apartment Are tubs that uncommon? Jihoon is trying to look ...

 Finale time! Bobo you made a lifelong friend but didn't thank her Priyanka, I don't think this is a séance...I think you meant memorial Rita is a witch Three Moose Knuckles remain Why aren't we counting mini wins in these stats? Holding hands and running in a circle is adorable Ah yes, the classic "do my work for me" challenge It's fun that they all got to say "and may the best woman win" It doesn't matter if you can sing, Bobo...we got autotune I still want to give Bobo a hug Bobo didn't manifest it, she worked hard for it I'm glad Rita is opening up more, that's a good thing to do Mark and Priyanka can coexist, but it's okay to have separate IG accounts Rita's look does look very Matrix I love how Brooke Lyn is just watching this so she has something to do "Make it your own but still do the choreography" Rita, take Brook Lynn's advice and just make shit up if you forget Yes, Priyanka did just make reference to...

 I tried to watch this live but it seems like bravotv.com doesn't let you (lame). Wait will there always be this narration at the beginning? This poor hair stylist Heather, we're talking about it still because it was a cruel thing to say Wait I think Mary just switched her story about what/who she said smelled like hospital Mary has a son? Hey Mary...why did you get your odor glands removed? This hospital thing is going to be brought up again even though it's "done" Whitney, if the bartenders were free...I wouldn't complain that much Whitney, do you know that it was the bartenders who caused all of the issues? Whitney didn't want to get people in trouble but specifically tried to get the bartenders in trouble Jen's kids have a sweet relationship So are we just not planning on telling Jen's husband about the party...it was filmed I don't get the neck popping comment Is Whitney really the last  person you want to hang out with Lisa? Wait was Lisa...

 NINE (sorry I've been listening to a lot of Critical Role lately)! Bobo and Jimbo have never had to lip sync...huh I wonder if Bobo will win anything 1/4 is only if all things are equal, Rita So obviously a snow theme Stacey looks amazing Oh this season didn't have a roast challenge Sabrina Jalees from??? YES WE HAVEN'T HAD THE NATIONAL ANTHEM YET Bobo...you know they often make you get dressed up in the werk room Rita's angry version is hilarious I think Jimbo and Rita are doing the best Rita gasping for breath in her underwater version was comedy gold Rita winning is fair (something in me just loves Jimbo though) Did Rita steal one of Lemon's shirts Finally the ball of the season! Bobo's fringe is so long, it looks like she shaved Cousin Itt Bobo, there is always a sewing challenge in a ball episode Bobo...cut your fabric. I do not get where you're confused Priyanka's corset doesn't look good It's nice to hear that Bobo is trying to help lots ...

 I LOVE makeover episodes. Uh I didn't think that Ilona would write a mean message as a bye 60% of them have never been in the bottom Rita has a lot of wins under her belt Everybody loves puppets! Oh I guess Jeffrey hasn't gotten to call in the pit crew yet Is a pickle trunk a thing? So once Jimbo picks, the other two know who they have I love that Jimbo did filler for her puppet of Bobo Does Jeffrey know that Rita is just quoting Jimbo? My guess is that Lemon wins Welp I'm bad at predicting Congrats, Bobo! Okay it's a little rough that we're doing a makeover challenge of people who escaped LQBTQI persecution after Anastarzia was eliminated I am glad to learn about Rainbow Railroad though! Bobo, this is a great challenge to win because you will get to match everyone up OMG TWO OF THEM ARE MARRIED Did Bobo pair Priyanka and her daughter because they both had hats on? Lemon...maybe get to know your person? Bobo on Rita's back is so cute "Have you ever been a...

I've totally forgotten the preview for this episode. Scarlet Bobo isn't a senior citizen Lemon's outfit was bad though... But yes it seems like it was dumb personal stuff that had Lemon being called out Miss Loose Jaw is funny A pageant challenge but also an acting challenge...awesome So far no one seems to be taking their character somewhere unexpected Wait I don't remember Brook Lynn having a lot of issues with other queens... Oh if we're getting Ilona's story then she is either going to win or go home Huh I didn't know that Jimbo trained as a clown Jeffrey did his own "give it up for" Omg Degrassi  royalty Wow so the first pageant in Drag Race  herstory is just making fun of pageants I thought Ilona's bit was funny I love how Priyanka's pregnancy belly makes no sense Priyanka was smart in doing interpretive dancing for the angry pageant girl Jimbo is making a fool of herself and it's great Scarlet Bobo pretending to do the water glas...

 I wonder how many episodes are in this season. I wonder if Nicole's friend knew that there would be filming at their apartment too When is Nicole going to get her braces off? Nicole, this is filmed, so you do have to tell your mom about Alejandro not being legally divorced yet Wow Pedro is a groomsman? That is a big gesture Angenette is adorable with her friends Angenette, I don't think crying leads to stress...I think stress leads to the crying Okay, Angenette, in the case of the question of the paternity of the baby it seems like he told his mom and Chantel separately It is weird that Royal was just surfing exes when he was stressed Tracker on Royal's phone is bad, Angenette I'm a littler nervous when Angenette says Royal has a temper Okay I get you want things resolved, Angenette, but what does it matter in terms of the second wedding? You're already married Chantel's boobs are just all the way out I guess it is a bit weird that Angenette didn't go with ...

 It's insane that we're on episode 20. I saw some corona-time chai there You all should've seen this lawyer before hand Are these sanitizing cards real? I think Jenny is right that you should do it all at once Yes, Sumit, there is pressure to get married because she will be forced to leave and because of COVID who knows when she'll be back. Crazy thought...what if you didn't tell her to come to India until you were ready to get married? I guess I appreciate Ari's dad saying that it shows his lack of knowledge that he didn't know what to expect Ari is so dumb to think visiting is the same as living somewhere It's nuts that Ari was saying she didn't want to make a bad impression with her parents and then just spills the beans [Why am I still seeing election ads?] Brittany, you know exactly how Yazan is going to react to you being (and acting more) drunk Yeah I don't think Brittany knows about the murder part yet Does Brittany know how to cut hair? ...

Happy 800th post! Priyanka is funny, but is also shady I like this displaying of past outfits thing Yes, I love them being psychics but it is a wicked burn on Priyanka Am I supposed to know who this queen is? Priyanka redemmed herself This was a delightful challenge Yes get that cross-promotion Getting to chose the teams is an insanely good perk I love that a group is doing something against bachelorette parties that take over a gay club Rita Baga got a finger up her butt from a bachelorette??? BACHELORETTES NEED TO CALM THE F DOWN Getting this done in half an hour is nuts Okay Priyanaka, I get it is difficult, but you decided on being so many characters (also you could've shot all scenes that are in one outfit first so you don't have to change out of and then into the same outfit The group of three did look like a mess Yes, realness with the book hitting her face Gavels are not anvils Is that Bing Crosby story the reason for the term "Canadian Tuxedo"? BOA, I'm s...

I'm so excited for Snatch Game! There was a really nice bonding moment Priyanka doesn't miss the moment to shade Kyne Yes, the library mini challenge is great Dewey decimate was a solid pun "Your face is like your spot in this competition: filler" "Lemon, can you hold my drink? Cause I always like putting it on a coaster" So far I think Lemon did the best Rita Baga read Brook Lynn and that propels her to the top in my opinion Lemon winning is still fair though SNATCH GAME REVEAL It's so good that Jeffrey is the one coaching them about Snatch Game cause...remember Brook Lynn's Celine Dione? Yeah you don't want to Jeffrey is stirring the pot with Jimbo cause like there have only been 4 maxi wins and there are 8 queens Honestly I would say not to do Liza cause Alexis Michelle did the most iconic Liza BOA, you don't have to sound exactly like your character...you just have to be funny You know Lemon is young if she is doing Jo Jo Siwa Colin and J...

What songs remind you of a specific person or place or moment or time? "Centerfold" by The J. Geils Band reminds me of playing DDR at my friend's house during her family's holiday parties "Caledonia" by Dougie MacLean reminds me of my dad in his current state "For the Longest Time" by Billy Joel remind me of of high school "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas reminds me of prom "Swimming to the Other Side" by Pat Humphries reminds me of Circle Pines Center "Zombie" by The Cranberries reminds me of AP Comparative Gov The "Hallelujah Chorus" by George Frideric Handel makes me think of the yearly caroling party my friend throws and that her family threw before her "Galway Girl" by Steve Earle ironically reminds me of my time in Cork "Golden" by Jill Scott reminds me of care-free nights in Galway "Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett reminds me of Halloween time at Ancona when I was a ...

Onward! I hate how reality shows get me to bond with the person who is about to go home It is a huge bummer that she didn't write a message "And I'm feeling subtitled" I love Stacey's outfit Yes a naked boys challenge Wait is baked potato a sexy euphemism? Number 6 is the hottest "Waste not, want hot" Scarlet Bobo, I get that you brought a bunch of cool stuff but I do think the audience (at least me) likes to see things you've made and it makes it more fair for queens who don't have as much money Jimbo...stick with the vision Stacey's legs go for days House of Rust is not a great name So since we're spending so much time with Bobo, she's going to be in the top or bottom I'm so glad that the outfits of the first episode were the worst ones I like the head and shoulder pieces of Bobo's but not the rest Kiara has a complete look and it looks good Rita Baga made me say "whoa" BOA's chest piece that opened up was so f...

 The true north strong and fierce (I think that's what they said before)! I LOVE Stacey's look this episode I don't know who Tracy Melchior is I love the teleprompter being in multiple languages I am loving the French fails I wanted Jimbo to win tbh I would focus on who can dance because they do autotune you Why is Ilona last again? Anastarzia Anaquway's confusion at "moose knuckle" and then why they're naming their group that is amazing "I hope I don't owe her royalties" Rapstress isn't a word...right? I don't want Anastarzia Anaquway to struggle :(  Poor Jimbo...but also, take a dance class before coming on this show The Dwolls are clearly going to do better on the dancing part, but it does seem like The Moose Knuckles have harder choreography Priyanka is charming AF I love watching them eat in part cause I don't think we've seen it happen before Oh Priyanka...I'm sorry that you have to fear what your dad thinks I don...

 Onwards on this show that definitely aired a while ago! I hope Juice Boxx can come back at some point I can't believe Kyne thinks hers is the best Of course Ru still does the voice over Brook Lynn's look is so much better this episode Wow that was a close up of junk Gotta love using Nutcracker music because public domain! Lemon...did you just have that Bjork look? Kiara, it is in part a dance challenge, but it's also a comedy challenge Why was Ilona the last picked and not Kyne? Ilona picks the team with Kyne? I love acting challenges Yes, stir the pot Brook Lynn Gotta love Kyne already making Brook Lynn think less of their team BOA needs to just take a minute I'm excited to see this sketch all filmed though BOA is going to be in trouble Tynomi also needs to just take a minute "I got tea bagged by a butch lesbian nurse, that's the best day of my life" Oh Kyne, I'm so sorry about you losing your dad Anastarzia Anaquway is so strong I cannot believe Ana...

 I've been meaning to watch this forever! Priyanka does look amazing and it's even more impressive that she's only been doing drag for two years I love that Priyanka was a kids' television show host Ilona Verley has a look Ilona Verley has a teen idol tattoo Kiara is adorable Juice Boxx...related to Pandora Boxx? Juice Boxx got stuck and that's hilarious Anastarzia Anaquway has such presence  Lemon should've gone harder on the lemon look for her entrance Lemon has done fashion week? "I love your duvet" I'm excited to see Lemon dance Scarlett Bobo looks famliar Kyne is SO CUTE and funny I think BOA is referencing a movie that people did a dish inspired by on Top Chef Rita Baga's sci-fi look is working for me Jimbo is like a parody of kids' TV show character Tynomi Banks interview look is ridiculous but she is gorgeous Yes, I hope there are many Canada puns this season Stacey McKenzie looks so familiar (IMDB suggests I saw her on ANTM) Brook ...
