I really enjoyed it. The boy I'm seeing lives in the UK, and I'm in DC, so it feels like Iceland is just perfectly placed for us to see each other without having to travel too far. Loved the people, the long days, the landscape, all of it. We're thinking of going up north this winter to see something different (we've…

We stayed in the “art apartment,” which was a little way out in the suburbs but was perfect for us (I was a bit concerned about having enough space, because I like the boy I went with but we don't know each other very very well and I didn't want us to be on top of each other ALL the time).

I can’t recommend it highly enough. I actually added an extra day to my holiday (the boy had to go back to work) and would have stayed longer to do more solo exploring if I could’ve found someone to mind my cat.

I regularly get Airbnb’s in Brooklyn to see my friends, and they’re both cheaper and better-located than hotels (I can be near my friends but still get away if I need to and sleep in a real bed, not an air mattress on a friend’s floor). I also just got back from a week in Iceland with a boy, and we rented a whole big…

Considering he cut his hair to act in a movie about the evacuation of Dunkirk, describing the style as “Hitler youth” is really ludicrously tone-deaf.

I can’t believe I just added a fucking vacuum to my Amazon wishlist (previously - 100% books and sex toys) but that looks like exactly what my need for my incredibly dusty wood floors.

I come from a Popeye’s family, literally the only time I’ve ever eaten KFC is outside the US. It’s fine, but if the US version is WORSE then it must be a fucking horror. The KFC in my neighborhood in Prague got me through bouts of homesickness (because food is the only thing I really miss when I’m living abroad…

I think it’s also consistently shocking to people who don’t know better exactly how little hospitals are obligated to do for people who may or may not be able to pay for treatment, and that’s leaving aside cases where neglect and breaking of the few paltry rules that there are take place. I’ve actually seen it said…

There is a requirement that hospitals and ERs not turn you away if turning you away will cause you to die. They aren't obligated to make you better or provide any other care. The fact that the woman was still alive to be arrested later is proof that she definitely could have been turned away as a not-critical.

I agree, and will add that until Five Guys is open until 2 right next to the highway exit into my neighborhood, for optimal late-night just-got-home meals, there will always be a place for fast-food burgers (luckily, my highway-exit fast food franchise is a Wendy’s, which I feel is the best of the big 3 options

The whole look needs at least 2 fewer things happening. Personally, I’d lose the ruffles and the lipstick, but the shoes could also definitely stand to be something - nearly anything - different.

Considering that, minus the Knowles ladies, damn near everyone who DID attempt the theme wound up looking tired and done-to-death, I can’t say I mind.

I think I actually need my thumb to hold down my index finger. I must have weak-ass phalanges or something, I usually aim for the insouciant Molly Ringwald style.

Is that... just her smile? Because if so, that’s a terrible thing to have as your natural smile. And I’m an aficionado of the weird natural smile - I personally find Lena Headey’s “mouth turns down at the corners” natural smile deeply charming. Poor Mary Pat’s stuck with a rictus of horror which, while appropriate for…

Absolutely. If Jay put his marriage to Bey in jeopardy for the sake of sucking face with someone like Iggy, then he’s far stupider than his decades-long career across multiple platforms suggests.

I actually FAILED at planning my own 30th birthday party, which I think is a hell of a lot sadder than planning your own 40th birthday party with the kind of budget that I assume Melissa Joan Hart has. (I wound up going on a trip to London, Orkney, and Norway for my 30th, so don’t cry for me, Argentina).

During the DC blizzard this winter, I got up to use the bathroom, turned around, and realized there was a Huge Fucking Deer in my yard, about 10 feet from my window. I live in a townhouse, so my yard is approximately 7 feet wide, and the deer took up easily 6 feet of it from side to side, and was a hell of a lot…

Shit, even cows are big enough and spook-able enough to be legitimate hazards to life and limb. An elk? Does not know what the fuck is going on with you, human, and has not had a lifetime of putting up with your various bullshit to inure it to your weirdness. Respect the personal space of the elk. Do not stick a…

I kind of don’t get why you’d buy something from a “bridal” collection in any case - they’re always that weird mix of boring and overly frilly, and expensive. Designers make white or subtly-colored dresses in their non-bridal collections, and they’re often more interesting AND cheaper (within the range of the designer…

Hey. It’s okay. You did the right thing. I’m so happy to hear that your dog got to know the truth that there is at least one loving, kind person who will keep him safe in the world. It’s too bad that you couldn’t show him that there is more than just one, but he was so lucky to find someone like you regardless.
