Edvard Munchian

I think my husband has a secret life.

Me: I don’t get the difference between figure skating and ice dancing.
Sam: Well, figure skating is smooth with a series of elements that have to be shown, with dramatic air-type things and turns and jumps and stuff. The ice dancing is more dancey, if you will, with dance moves and lots of those close choppy [...]

Roller Derby Girls

I was in the kitchen, setting out the frosting and the jimmies for the cupcakes Ruby and I had just put in the oven, when I heard a couple of heavy thuds come from the front hallway. It was pouring rain, Sam was away for the weekend and my heart had already exploded into a [...]

Spoilers suck: Play it safe and keep the score to yourself, would you/

Get yer sweat on

Did anyone else spend at least part of their Sunday leaping from the couch while maniacally screaming at their television set?
