Huh. I went into the movie without reading any of the press about it, and I guess I'm one of those dummies who missed the "blatant" and "heavy-handed" rebirth/evolution metaphors. In fact, I wasn't convinced she was even alive in that last scene. After so many "how could you possibly have survived that??" moments, she…

I love that Black People Love Us has been on the interwebs for more than a decade now. It's still as funny as the first day I saw it. White people, you be funny.

Oops. I fed the troll. My apologies, ladies. Won't happen again.

"...regardless of their individual aesthetic tastes as regards facial features and the like."

Why is it that when I see models rocking REALLY BIG natural hair, I'm like "wow Magical Princess YES" ... but when I walk out the door with my hair like this, I feel unkempt and self-conscious? #brainwashed

YES to replacing the shower head. I have a dual-head massager (mounted + handheld) that I've used in my last couple of abodes. It's amazing, even more so now that I have a boiler that provides endless hot water (no more shampoo-shimmy in 2.5 minutes!). I die a little every time I stay at a place that has a lame…

I got my lazy ass out of bed early yesterday to attend a yoga class at my gym. I usually only go during the week, so this was my first time with this particular instructor. She was quite good, and after the third or fourth time she walked by and adjusted me, I realized that I'd picked up some terrible habits and bad…

The dress is awesome and busy, so I'd keep accessories to a minimum. Onyx drop earrings and a black clutch. Definitely no necklace. Messy up-do. Enjoy the wedding!

Heehee. It's like the Annoying Facebook Girl meme. Claims to hate drama...always starting drama.

No, it literally said "drama-queen and hot temper alert"! Hence the quotations marks. (Actually, because it was the start of a sentence, the D was capitalized, and there was a colon after alert. So I guess I misused the quotation marks while I was trying to make my overall sentence grammatically correct.)

So, I was perusing OKC, and I stumbled upon a profile that seemed really good until the last paragraph. "You should message me if" had a "drama-queen and hot-temper alert." He graciously said he was fine with different types of crazy (and gave numerous examples of acceptable crazy), but that he "can't handle the kind…

Dear fans of The Amazing Race,

I had popcorn and two bowls of cereal for dinner.

I wish I could tell you it'll get better, but I'm in my 30s and still have trouble getting friendships and relationships off the ground. I actually think that it's normal for us picky introverts to spend most of our lives alone — it's where the whole cat lady trope came from. (Think about it...you never see cat…

I am a horrible person because I love reading about the train wrecks in WaPo's Date Lab. In this week's edition, we have a rec center assistant manager requesting a petite damsel in distress (presumably much younger and in much better shape than he is). Instead, Date Lab sets him up with a policy wonk. He rejects her,…

I find it hard to believe that a 50-year-old "romanticist" who seeks out affairs doesn't even get cold sores.

The problem with young, half-naked bodies being EVERYWHERE is that people (guys) start to think that's what an average woman's body should look like.

My main takeaway from this video was that she's popped out a couple of kids and looks like that. I've popped out zero kids and look like ... this. Should I go to the gym or have another glass of wine?

When he/she doesn't reach out to you, and you don't care enough to reach out to him/her.

They're also a nightmare for people with hangovers. Not that I've ever had to use one at work after weeknight drinking....
