Cuddling With Bonnie Plunkett Would Include

Bonnie, being a bit of a firecracker/loose canon, surprises everyone when you tell them that she’s a cuddler.

You can rest assured that she’s going to hate that you spilled the beans about it too, but, she’ll get over it. Eventually.

If you fall asleep cuddling with Bonnie, there’s a good chance you’ll wake up with your legs tangled with hers, or one of her legs draped over part of your body. Not that you mind, of course.

Bonnie finds it to be totally adorable when you rest your head on her chest. She hates to disturb you when you’re like that.

She doesn’t cuddle all the time, but you’re getting some Bonnie cuddle time at least a few times a week and depending on what you both have going on, it can last for hours.

fanfic

So I seem to have written a 5k fic in which House survives post-finale and ends up being part of the recovery gang in Napa Valley (see: Mom).

Yeah I don't know either.

[we-pay-for-everything]

I really like Mom and love the characters, but at this point in season 6 (it began in season 5, at least, actually) I can't stand Christy. She's the only character that over the years seems to have regressed instead of progressed, and it's obvious the writers have no idea what to do with her anymore. She stopped growing as a person many seasons ago.

Still, I congratulate the writers and staff on the fact that Mom has gotten better, or at least hasn't declined in quality, over the seasons. Besides Christy, all other characters have grown, and I think seasons 4 and 5 in particular were really good. The show improved a lot once Christy's kids were out of the picture and the focus was more on all the girls and their relationships, which I love, and not just on Christy and Bonnie and their dynamic. Mom improved especially when they began exploring Bonnie's friendships with the other girls and not just her relationship with Christy. Also, unlike most shows, adding new characters 5 seasons in actually worked on Mom. Adam and Tammy are just as familiar to me as Jill or Marjorie.

I love how relatable and realistic the show is while remaining hopeful and positive. It's a story about growth and second chances, but it's not really cheesy or fake. The characters relapse or are incapable of shaking off old habits. All the girls, except maybe Bonnie, experience some growth but not too much and that's the way it is in real life. No one is magically cured or changed. Wendy and Jill are still lonely, and Jill is still lost, but Wendy has become more confident and Jill is less superficial and more emotionally mature now. I find that inspiring.

Unrelated, but I kinda prefer Bonnie with Alvin instead of Adam.

VINDICATION!

one of the TV shows I’m watching, right, after 6 or so seasons of thinking to myself ‘oh, this character totally has ADHD’ and GUESS WHAT

SHE DOES. I JUST WATCHED THE EP WHERE SHE GETS A DIAGNOSIS

VINDICATION!!!!

[11fflower11]

I've watched 3 TV comedy shows that have a laughing track:

Friends

2 Broke Girls

Mom

1. 'Friends' was the worst one. I'll explain why; The pauses were too long after a character talked, as if the actors were waiting for the laughing track to play in order to start talking again, which I think is kind of stupid - to have such long pauses just for a laughing track.

2. '2 Broke Girls' was better because the pauses were shorter for the laughing track, and the characters would start talking before the laughter stopped.

3. 'Mom' was the best out of the three. Even though there was a laughing track, the characters never stopped or paused for it to play. They just kept talking to each other with the laughing track playing in the background. Because of this, it all seemed and felt more realistic, because - like I said - they didn't stop talking se we can hear the laughter.

[bunny-ears-and-bearpaws]

Okay five seconds in I can't interact with online content about mom. I'm so glad it reached people outside of that circle but I should've realized I'd feel really weird interacting with that content. But I just want to say, wether your an addict or have addicts in your life please please please watch this show. It helped me a lot.

Happy birthday Robert Carlyle, born in Maryhill, Glasgow April 14th 1961.

Bobby was brought up in Glasgow, the son of Elizabeth, a bus company employee, and Joseph Carlyle, a painter and decorator. His mother left when Carlyle was four years old and his dad looked after him from then. He left school at the age of 16 without any qualifications and worked for his father as a painter and decorator; however, he continued his education by attending night classes at Cardonald College in Glasgow.

Carlyle became involved in drama at the Glasgow Arts Centre at the age of 21 (having been inspired by reading Arthur Miller's The Crucible), and subsequently graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. In 1991, he and four friends founded a theatre company, Raindog (named after Tom Waits' album "Rain Dog," one of Carlyle's favorites) (a company dedicated to innovative work then, which is now primarily involved in television and film work), and guest starred in The Bill. The same year he starred in his first movie, Riff-Raff, directed by Ken Loach.

I first noticed Carlyle in the excellent ITV series Cracker, as murderer Albert "Albie" Kinsella, it wasn't long after this he had a series of his own with Hamish McBeth, the dope smoking village bobby in a quiet Scottish town on the west coast, the series ran for three seasons from 1995 to 1997.

Since then Robert Carlyle has been able to pick and choose his roles, his films include, The World is Not Enough, Plunkett & Macleane, Ravenous, 28 Weeks later and of course as Francis "Franco" Begbie in the two Trainspotting films.

On the small screen we have seen him in as the title role in Adolf : The Rise of Evil, Human Trafficking and The Last Enemy on this side of the Atlantic, in the US he has starred in the TV movie 24, SGU Stargate Universe and the continuing Once Upon a Time..

The third season of British political thriller-drama COBRA is due on our screens in the coming months

Recently we saw the TV series of the popular film, The Full Monty, which surprised me of how good it was. In February Carlyle commented on X/Titter about a Simpsons episode Ae Bonny Romance, which aired last December. In one scene, audiences are shown an airline called “Planespotting”, with the plane including a picture of Carlyle’s character Begbie on its tail! Robbert tweeted "My life is complete.." As well as the nod, the episode featured the voices of actors Karen Gillan, David Tennant and Paul Higgins.

Robbiewas lastsen in the movvie, The Performance about an American Jew and gifted tap dancer while on tour in Europe, Harold and the rest of his troupe are scouted by a German attaché who leads the troupe to an exclusive performance for Hitler himself. Next up is a mini-series Toxic Town about the tragic toxic waste case in the East Midlands and three mothers fighting for the justice for the rates of upper limb defects in babies born in Corby were subsequently found to be three times higher than those of children born.
