Glamour magazine hilarious writer, Phoebe Robinson, had me in stitches just reading the title “Scandal Recap: If You Needed Evidence That Shonda Rhimes Doesn’t Care About Ripping Your Heart Out, Here It Is.” It takes a special soul to make me laugh after last night’s episode.
#Gladiators, after a torturous three-week hiatus, Scandal has finally returned—but someone really should have warned me that tears would floweth from my eyes like chocolate does from a fondue fountain at Golden Corral. Seriously, I was so ill-prepared for my emotions to be rising like Pillsbury croissant rolls baking in an oven that I ran out of tissues and I didn’t have any food in my apartment, so I couldn’t eat my feelings away.

Olivia’s train arrives when Huck predicted it would, so she gives him some money and makes plans to have a coffee date with him the next day. Hey, Liv, you do realize he’s not going to put this meeting into his iPhone and then sync it with his Google cal, right? All you have to do is show up. Moving on….Read More
