The weekend! Saturday is the 11th night of Christmas (pipers piping) and Sunday is Twelfth Night (drummers drumming) and National Bird Day. We’re marking all the occasions with the “visual media” version of our winter reading poll. Tell us…
…any great tv shows you’ve discovered recently, and/or

Last week, a good friend set a bottle of Carrington Perfumes Forever Krystle Eau de Toilette on my table. “I put it in the box to bring to you. Took it out, then put it back again. Here. Maybe you can find it a home.”
Years ago, I’d found the bottle of Forever Krystle at Goodwill and passed it to her when we were both deep into Dynasty reruns, even sometimes giving episodes our own Mystery Science Theater treatment.1 I couldn’t remember the fragrance at all, but I did remember that Krystle wore Bal à Versailles…

An unexplained death quickly turns into a psychological dive down the rabbit hole of an obsessive killer.

Sir Thomas Sean Connery is 88 today, and we're celebrating with a little Bond poll (it's sort of a repeat of a poll we did way back in 2008).
1. Who is your favorite Bond? (Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig)
2. What fragrance you think their version of Bond would wear?
3. Your all time favorite Bond movie?
4. Who do you think should play James Bond when Daniel Craig retires? Or should Bond just retire and be done with it?
Or, as always, just talk about something else. We don't mind at all.
