Review: Blank My Life series offers intriguing emotional layers, a bisexual storyline, and lots of Pittsburgh touches

January 20, 2019 by

Blank My Life is quirky and puzzling. What begins as a series of vignettes in the first two seasons evolves into a full throttle series in Season Three. And it works. A ridiculous premis like accidentally killing your GBF and then moving to Ohio from NYC makes for compelling, if uneven, viewing. Lead character Susan […]

The Favourite is an Obscenely Queer Women’s Historical Film. Go See It Right Away.

January 6, 2019 by

This post contains spoilers about the movie The Favourite I was uneasy about this film because I had heard through the grapevine that there might be a scene where Emma Stone was hurting a rabbit. I cannot tolerate watching such a scene even if it’s faked so I was nervous.  Heather Hogan at Autostraddle gave […]

A Yeti Explosion

January 2, 2019 by

Last year, Laura bought me a Yeti tumbler for Christmas to replace the decrepit old insulated mugs she had been secretly removing from the house (I’m a keeper, she’s a tosser.) And I love it! I use it year round and find that it has excellent insulation capacity. For perspective, I can fill it with […]

Review: KitNipBox Subscription Service is Fine, But Not Amazing

January 2, 2019 by
KitnipBox

A friend of ours who has some rescue kittens mentioned to us that she was using a monthly subscription service for cat toys and accoutrements. It is called the KitNipBox and it is basically a bunch of cat stuff in a box that you can order on a monthly or bimonthly schedule. She gave me […]

Review: A Christmas Carol at Carnegie Stage Gets Dickens Right

December 3, 2018 by

Spoiler – this adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic gets everything right about the systemic and institutional issues Dickens addressed without the sentimental Christmas washing we are usually handed. The playwrights here understand, as I like to say, that it wasn’t so much that Scrooge’s change of heart saved Tiny Tim as that fair wages, […]

Review: The Old Curiosity Shop at PICT Theater

November 28, 2018 by

Ledcat and I were in Oakland last weekend for the opening night of The Old Curiosity Shop by the PICT Theatre company. So, I have never read this novel by Charles Dickens and now I never will. I actually logged onto my Carnegie Library ‘Libby’ app during intermission to remove the book from my hold list. […]

Review: Pride and Prejudice at Pittsburgh Public Theater

October 14, 2018 by

The Pittsburgh Public is staging Kate Hammill’s adaptation of one of the most beloved works of fiction Pride and Prejudice. In a rather madcap take on the games of love, eight actors whirl across the stage tackling at least 14 roles, costume changes, set changes, and more. I enjoyed Pride & Prejudice, but I didn’t love […]
