I’d put my money on this one.

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.
