Interesting. I've never been to WA but would seriously question how much it resembles Marlborough!

Look, as a Kiwi I need more details than this. Which particular lighthouse was it??

Shit, you're right. All the stars for you!

I'm pretty white, not American and have never lived in a country where Spanish is widely spoken AND YET I still managed to learn it. There is no excuse for this lady.

I’m so glad I’m going to dinner with a friend tonight, so that’s one day I don’t have to face this dilemma.

I wholeheartedly agree! Seriously though, I've been here for years, what gives.

Seriously, me too. I picked Atwood’s name at random off a list for an English assignment when I was 14. This and The Edible Woman and a huge impact on my adolescent mind.

Indeed :’( I'm still not over it

It was super shitty. Gotta say I am so over all these idiots, their beef is so boring.

Me too!

You've said everything I feel like I needed to say today.

Not sure if this is how you meant it, but Portman just seems so humourless, just desperate to be known as a Serious Person. Whereas Keira seems like a fun bad ass (although I will admit to being a Keira hater previously, something which I’m now deeply ashamed of).

Additional counterpoint: Flight of the Conchords.

Very true.

I don't know if vetting is the issue, I think they either genuinely don't get it or just don't care enough to prevent these constant disasters. I don't know which scenario is worse.

I cannot read any of Jane Pratt’s stuff without hearing the Val voice in my head. That will be in my brain till the day I die, and possibly beyond.

Right, but to be fair I don’t think Jezebel has ever published anything as revolting as that A Person Who I Vaguely Knew Who Had Serious Mental Health Issues Died And I Think She’s Better Off That Way “article”.

*Wipes tear from eye* what a wonderful world we live in.

Ugh I've unfortunately heard some of them. Those people are idiots, she seems awesome.

The whole Hiddleswift thing is making me appreciate these two even more, they seem like such a good match.
