Roundabout Roundup: Too Long Didn’t Watch, IPOW Comfort Bike Seat, and A&D Ointment

1/22/2021

0 Comments

 
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Terri's enjoying the Too Long, Didn't Watch podcast with Alan Sepinwall (and a series of celebrity guests). Nicole follows up last week's NordicTrack bike recommendation with a replacement seat that's saving her butt, and Catherine wants you to smell like a (clean) baby butt with A&D ointment for dry, cracked skin. Also mentioned: The Poscast.

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

What Makes a Kitchen Tool Essential?

1/21/2021

0 Comments

 
While none of us are the primary chefs in our homes, we still have strong opinions about what kitchen gear is essential and what just takes up too much space. Mentioned: The Huffington Post's list of useful purchases for every household; Nicole's fancy trash can; and reusable bowl covers, aka shower caps.

Morning People vs. Middle-of-the-Night People

1/20/2021

Some are morning people, some are night owls, and some do their best work in the middle of the night. We think it's too bad that the early birds run the world. Mentioned: The Start School Later campaign.

What We’re Watching: ZEP “Zoey’s Extraordinary Distraction” and Veronica Mars “My Big Fat Greek Rush Week”

1/19/2021

0 Comments

 
On our entertainment-themed Round 2 this week, both our current watches have us worried about how the season will go. Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist seems to be floating away without the weight of Zoey's father's terminal illness. If it's going to be fun and fluffy, it needs to be shorter--and more fun and fluffy. Next: "Zoey's Extraordinary Dreams."

On Veronica Mars, if the season-long mystery is "Who is the Hearst College rapist?", we're not sure we can stick around. We'd rather go back to the charismatically evil Aaron Echolls, who was so central to the two previous seasons. Next: "Wichita Linebacker."

Reserving Our Judgment

1/13/2021

0 Comments

 
When it comes to parenting, judge not, lest ye be complained about on a podcast. An article ostensibly about being a strict parent, but really about scolding others for not being strict enough, drew our ire this week.
