Really? I hated Melancholia and especially her in it.

Prunes. They really, really help.

I co-sign almost all of that. I really, really enjoyed The Virgin Suicides though. You should give it a shot. I think it helps that the novel was great material to work with.

I lost my dad in 1997. It was my freshman year and one night I got a call saying he had died of cancer. He had made my brother and stepmom keep his illness a secret. I still miss him and think about him. The grief gets better over time though. I would say it took me about 6 years to be able to talk about him without…

I couldn't sleep last night and ended up watching The Virgin Suicides. I really disliked it when I first saw it about a decade ago. Last night, I realized it is an amazing piece of art. I don't know why I had such a negative reaction to it the first time. I'm guessing it had to do with me automatically disliking Sofia…

My mom still has a pile of cabbage patch dolls in boxes, counting on that investment to pay off. I remember when my sister and I were little we wanted to open them so badly and my mom would always tell us that we couldn't because they were an investment. I laugh everytime I see them collecting dust in her garage.

For a long time, I wondered whether all the Doug Barry hate was because he was a male writer. It really bothered me that Jezzies would jump on him just because he was a man in a "woman's blog". I was wrong. He is just awful and getting worse every weekend.

I loved living in Amsterdam, but it is pretty spendy. You wouldn't need a car though.

Many courtrooms have the same requirements. One of the perks of practicing law in rural Alaska was being able to roll into court in snowsuits or jeans. Wearing a real suit was actually frowned upon in my old court.

My friends and I graduated from Liberty High School in the 90's. We all went back once during college and never again. The place is a pit.

He was so good in that movie. I would love to see more of him.

I drew on eyebrows for my sister's wedding and that was it while I was sick. Now that I'm in remission, I'm very fussy about them and draw them in a little, because they were the last thing to fill in.

Stage 3a endometrial cancer here. I agree with you 100%. The kindness of strangers who understood what I was going through really helped me survive it. Sometimes I would get irritated by it, not wanting to be cancer-girl, but in the end I realized how cathartic it was for both parties. Now I try and return the favor…

Yes, when the chemo is killing your hair off, at least you know it is working somewhat.

I've heard these caps are pricey. Beyond that, I got used to being bald pretty quickly. I actually preferred it after a few cycles. I could barely stand up in the shower and would usually have to take a nap right after. I couldn't imagine having to worry about my hair. I will admit to being very uncomfortable with…

Matt Smith is leaving Doctor Who after this year's Christmas special. I need to go get drunk and cry myself to sleep.

I'm confused. Is the younger girl 14 or 15? Every news source says something different.

It was so good! I wish I could time travel to Nov 23rd. I don't think I can wait that long!!!Best episode of this series.

Yeah, makes sense. I do recommend the Aveeno though. The exfoliating helps break that keratin mess up and then locking in moisture right away with the lotion helps.

Is it normal for antidepressants to make you more depressed? I've been on Prozac for a while now and recently upped my dose. I am taking it mostly for my hot flashes. I have depression too. I feel like the depression is getting worse. I don't know if it is the time of year that is making it worse or if it is the…
