"Every relationship goes through their own Auschwitz."

Highlighting the fact that FanFare is just as useful for finding movies NOT to see. Thank you for your service.

Says you, these horrible reviews make me want to watch the movies more. And no, no one in my family lets me hold the remote control anymore, why do you ask?

I was walking on campus one day and encountered an older couple who had gotten separated from their tour. I offered to walk them to my building, knowing they could rejoin a tour there. As we crossed the campus, the man stared at the the tall chimney of the power plant and said “does that make you think of Auschwitz?” “No sir, I foes not,” I said a little grimly, and we walked the rest of the way in silence.
