E: It’s about to be June, and the summer blockbusters are getting even more tempting. Only one or two movies per weekend, but they’re all big ones. Lots of franchise pieces, sure, but exciting ones. Who else is psyched? I know I am!

X-Men: First Class
E: James McAvoy. Jennifer Lawrence. Michael Fassbender. Charles Xavier when he can walk. Need I say more?
E: Here we are, another season ended. Who knew that was a pop song? All Grey’s episode titles are all pop songs, and at this point, there are a lot I haven’t heard of. Granted, there’s White Wedding and I Will Survive, but then there’s also Unaccompanied Minor. Okay.

Take a grown up show, add Sarah Silverman, and voila! A post full of nasty search terms.
And pain. Did I mention pain? There were buckets and even boatloads of pain, in addition to a few less obvious emotions.
Also, is it hideously crass of me to observe that Maria Shriver left her (allegedly) philandering politician husband the week Alicia left hers? The timing is kind of fascinating.
