You're obviously crazy! ZOMG selfiecontrol is fashisss! - Dipshit kid.

I don't have access to my phone at work, you can manage not to be a total narcissist for a few hours.

Goes in the box with the other toys not allowed during class. Deal.

If only.

Unfortunately I've learned that Jezebel is not so on point with satire.

Why? Is this Adult Friend Finder or a (an occasionally) feminist website?

I'm aware of that hon, but thanks for the troll. I could just as easily said partner but the commentariat here lives in a world divorced from common sense.

Of course, let nothing detract from your giant handbag concerns that the world is failing to revolve around you.

On Gawker only black people matter, Latinos, Asian-Americans, Native-Americans etc do not count.

I'm so tired of the mantra of straight women whining about how they can't find a man who is good enough for them or whatever excuse they have when people in much smaller population sets manage just fine.

You know you people make up almost 50% of the population, yet lesbians, who make up a much, much smaller percentage, seem to be able to get dates and have relationships. What the world doesn't need is more "woe is me" straight woman dreck.

I'm not seeing where this funding is coming from. There's a CR that runs out in a couple weeks, but that's not likely to include this.

Blergh. Mustard greens or GTFO. They have a nice spicy edge that works well with additional spice. You can even skip the bacon.

A number of independents have closed or gone out of business in the last ten years, but we do have a few that are both awesome and long-standing. There's a market for them that probably doesn't exist everywhere else. That said, I'm not above sneaking a peek at the paperbacks and checking ig my library has it, if it's…

The only time I object to reading a female author is if she's taking a ham-fisted approach to squeezing in a gay character "just because". I'd much rather read Jane Austen or Margaret Atwood or Curtis Sittenfeld and skip some of the silliness. But I'd say probably 50-70% of the fiction I read a year is by women.

NY Times book list oh and sneaking a peek at one's locally owned book seller.

If it's a movie that will star some B-list current teen heartthrob and the young woman who loves him despite all his "flaws" (too tall, too short, only 6 pack abs etc), that's what I think of Sparks.

It's like when I borrow or even buy Michael Thomas Ford: I know what I'm getting. Beach book, with some furry man sex on the side.

I have occasionally enjoyed chick lit, but rarely, and only in the right frame of mind. It's gilded turd, but sometimes you want a gilded turd.

She's probably a step up from the beach book set, which is where I think Sparks lands, but she's not exactly Toni Morrison either.
