I liked it! I have Many Questions. Top 5: 1. Why didn’t Nina have a dog? 2. Is Nightcrawler Raven’s child? 3. Did Charles recognize Storm from Logan’s memories? 4. Why were there so many fewer kids in the mansion when Quicksilver did his rescue than we’d seen before? Weekend? Not actually 100% a boarding […]
I’m skipping the regularly scheduled ‘memorable search’ list this week, because I’m so excited about this. The Backstory: I have two electric candles that turn on automatically when it’s dark. They went up at Christmas, and I liked the effect so much that they’ve stayed up ever since. Like nightlights, I guess. The Dilemma: A […]
