Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8, episode 11

Time for some consequences? Gino is going to be a beauty king I guess Oop Jasmine hit Gino Yes, Gino should go back to work Ah of course Gino won't even let Jasmine finish her workout Angela spilling all the tea Angela, maybe if you and Michael can ruin anything, maybe you shouldn't be together Patrick...you're an idiot... Oop John telling the truth about Patrick's dad So wait, is Ashley sending the money directly to Manuel's family or is she giving it to Manuel to send Oof Ashley, I'm sorry Loren looks kinda crazed "It's our wife" is rough phrasing, Kobe's family FINALLY, Emily's parents realize that, ultimately, Kobe and Emily are coming home to the US I wonder if Emily is actually good at cooking or if people are being nice (seems like they're impressed that it's her first time cooking Cameroonian food) Ashley, I don't know how much a post-nup will help honestly... Emily, you do not need to meet Kobe's ex Loren, you shoul...

Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, season 9, episode 3

Time for the Snatch Game of Love!  Lol to Angeria pretending to be mad Oop two Liberaces I wish we spent more time on Snatch Game and less time on prep I don't know Angeria's character Roxxxy picking an old character she did before could work in her favor Jorgeous's character is a solid choice Haha it's Monet! Angeria is my favorite in this first group ...why did Monet pick Jorgeous? I love that Vanjie appeared in a carpet It's Raven! Gottmik's character is pretty great, but Nina has my heart Angeria's look is a WHOA Roxxxy's look is fun and sexy Shannel's look is incredible Jorgeous's look has a sense of humor Vanjie looks great, but how are there two scorpion looks??? I wish Nina's look didn't have the facekini (love the black hole lol) Plastique looks gorgeous Gottmik's look is powerful Yay for Nina and Gottmik! I think they had the best snatch games This song is definitely more Gottmik's style and Nina is kinda struggling with...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: Love In Paradise season 4, episode 5

Time for some choices. Yeah Luke, Madelein is sulking because she's a literal teenager and you're a douche So, Luke, how could waiting make Madelein's reactions any better? Dude if my best friend's husband thought I was a gold digger, I'd be mad WHAT ASSETS DOES LUKE HAVE STILL? (Apparently an apartment) Luke, sell that apartment LUKE CHOSE TO DATE A 19 YEAR OLD WALK OUT OF IT, ANI Jackie seems like a good friend to Alliya THE FACT THAT HE MISSES YOU BEING SCARED IS A RED FLAG I love that Alliya is putting herself first Alex, you and Adriano are not on any of the same pages Yes, Alex, pottery is a bit dirty Okay, we get it, it looks phallic Adriano told Alex to "suck it up" when it comes to racism...cool... Luke, you're lucky Madelein's family even tolerates you given that Madelein is only 19 Luke, you can't tell a 19-year-old to "grow the fuck up." You grow up and date someone your own age! Alliya, I support you, girl, but dump Shawn...

Starting my parental journey, part 10

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here ,  read part 6 here ,  read part 7 here ,  read part 8 here , and read part 9 here . I am officially a week out from my second egg retrieval! If you want the quick version, my friends really rallied behind me during a very difficult week and I got 16 additional mature eggs! This brings my total to 25 frozen mature eggs and the goal was 20 so I'm quite happy (dare I say EGGstatic?)! Okay, time for some more details. In the early afternoon of Tuesday the 14th, I got the official word that it was time to trigger that evening. That meant that my procedure would be Thursday the 16th. I excitedly called my mother to tell her and began spreading the news that I was ready for my retrieval. Very sadly though, around 4:30pm, just as I was packing up my work stuff for the day, I got a call from my mother that my grandmother (my stepdad's mom) had passed ...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8, episode 10

Not sure what's happening this episode as the last preview was for the season.  Loren's recovery seems rough Dear god, just end it, Nicole Wow I really thought Angela and Michael were edited out of this season Wait, didn't Michael cheat early on too? I wonder if Gino and Jasmine will ever have a baby So Jasmine is doing a pageant Wait was Rob a stripper? Well that went downhill quickly Nicole, if Mahmoud in general makes you crazy, then you should divorce him Lol to staff being shocked at Rob and Sophie's behavior Rob...are you fucking someone else? Loren and Alexei need more help Emily's mom...honestly just go with it Oop they sure did say property Angela's grandkids have cute accents Angela, I think people's actions can be representative but I feel like "a sign" is meant to be more abstract Huh why did Michael put in texts about cheating? Rob, I feel like Sophie is kinda asking the bare minimum I hope Rob and Sophie are finally done, but I kinda ...

Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, season 9, episode 1

Season premiere!  Gottmik looks great (as is no surprise) Roxxxy looks sexy Gosh I love Vanjie Angeria looks fabulous I LOVE NINA Lol to Vanjie's outfit flying off Plastique is drop-dead gorgeous Jorgeous looks so good I forgot that Shannel was the first queen to walk into the werkroom I like no elimination All Stars seasons Roxxy did do the best at the library challenge Lol at Shannel falling off the stage Ru's look is fun A new Ru song! Wait so they choreographed these back up dancers too? Gottmik looks rad I love the shape of Nina's look Plastique looks incredible Angeria looks lovely So Vanjie is beautiful, can't deny it, but I'm not a huge fan of her outfit And I'll say the same about Jorgeous Shannel looks so elegant Roxxxy clearly has a sense of humor about herself, which I love, but I'm not in love with her outfit So I'm liking Angeria's performance better, but I think Jorgeous is going to win Oh wow, Angeria won!

A letter from Rivulet Brooks, #1

So with the blessing of my DM, I am going to be writing letters home from my D&D character Rivulet Brooks. Here is the first one! Dear Glarmet, Not sure when this letter will find you as I know you are often sailing, but it may be even longer before you can reach me these days. You have likely already heard from our friends at the temple, but I have taken up with a party of adventurers and left Goa. I am sorry that we did not get a chance to say goodbye, but I do believe Geshtai will ensure that our paths cross again one day. Until then, perhaps letters will serve our friendship well. I have done and seen quite a lot in my time away from Goa. I hope I can tell you more over a drink or a boat ride sometime, but I must be brief for we are headed for Hart's Crossing (perhaps try and send a missive there--write that I am a member of the Wandering Wyverns). I do feel like I might be closer to finding my true purpose in this life. Before I depart, I wanted to write and ask what you k...

Time for some clashes. Emily's mom shouldn't have said that she gives cow skin to her dogs I like that Emily is excited to learn Cameroonian cooking Wow even the very beginning of Rob and Sophie's therapy session is rough Oop Sophie doesn't know how old Rob is So Rob has a thing for Velma Okay, TLC, you do not HAVE to show Loren's surgery like this Oy Manuel and Ashley need therapy Oh Jasmine, get thee to a therapist Patrick, you should've asked her dad for a blessing Lol Loren ordered a delivery of toast Rob's voice was so flat when he gave Sophie compliments Emily's dad is really trying Okay so I get Emily's mom being hesitant about the bride price, HOWEVER, I would encourage her to examine many American traditions around marriage like the father "giving away" the bride Loren is loopy Man, Manuel's friend is trying so hard Wait how is it watery and strong at the same time, Gino?

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: Love In Paradise season 4, episode 3

Time for some confessions. So beauty is misspelled in Madelein's salon I don't need to watch Kyle brush Ani's hair Kyle...you have to know what you did in Australia Okay, Shawn, you've been married to one woman... Shawn doesn't want someone fun or dynamic Madelein is more forgiving than I'd be How easy would it be to move to Australia for an American and an Italian, Adriano? Alex, you're a therapist...therapize yourself! Wow that was short! Next time Luke has a sunglasses line Next time Luke is bad at money and Madelein knows it Next time Alex and Adriano are super not on the same page about many things Next time Ani thinks Kyle is addicted to it (And she might be right) Next time Shawn is problematic Next time looks good!
