It's been a while since I've done an OKC rant. On this go around, I decided to make it just a thing running in the background rather than a full-on endeavor. This means I check for messages every few days, respond only to people I'd be interested in meeting based on profile alone, and don't bother with…

Lots of votes for Honda. I had a 98 Accord that I passed on to my parents in '07. Six years later, that Accord is still going strong, and I'm kinda bored with the car I replaced it with. Not gonna lie, there are times when I think I should just ask my parents to give me back my Honda.

Poll time.

I feel like there's so much pressure to get over relationships very quickly. But honestly, some (many) people just aren't wired that way. I know that it can take me a year or two to really feel like I'm okay without someone. Too bad friends get tired of being your support network after just a couple of weeks.

Is there a probability map based on weather over the past month? It hasn't really snowed in DC in three years, and then in snowed twice in the past week. Aw, who am I kidding. DC won't ever see a white Christmas. Even though it's only in the 30s now, it'll probably be 65 and raining on Christmas day.

I'm not complaining about studio prices. I frequent a studio and have a closet full of Lululemon (and Athleta and Zella). I'm just saying that people get all up in arms about the prices of clothes without discussing the fact that yoga in general (as typically practiced in the US) is expensive.

It amuses me that every time Lululemon comes up, we get hundreds of people arguing whether it makes sense to pay more than $5 for yoga pants...yet no one ever discusses whether it makes sense to pay $15-$20 for a single yoga class. Frankly, Lululemon and its competitors are priced just right for the people who can…

I suspect increasing STD rates also play a role. Infertility can be a result of otherwise asymptomatic infections.

NoVA yogis: I need recs for yoga studios. Changes in my schedule make my home studio not very convenient anymore. I'm pretty sure I've read every Yelp review for every place within a 20-mile radius, but nothing really stands out as stellar for my needs.

Lambrusco will complete the trilogy.

I wish I didn't take Yelp as seriously as I do, given all the shadiness that goes on with reviews being filtered or removed, and businesses being able to buy a good rating. I've been stalking reviews of yoga studios in my area, and wow are there shenanigans. There are an awful lot of studios with only five-star…

The elitist, liberal DC suburbs of Northern Virginia saved the Commonwealth in this election. You're welcome, Virginia. Now give us back a fraction of the money we send to Richmond so we can have better transportation options, kthxbai!

I love that the day it started to get dark at 5pm coincided with the day the temperature dropped from 60s to 30s. I also love that my having a lazy Sunday morning and not getting out of the house until 2pm meant I had only three hours of daylight today. Womp womp.

A lot of well-thought responses, thank you! I want to take the time to respond to each person, please bear with the delay.

Definitely seek medical attention to find out whether you've suffered permanent physical damage. Be honest with the doctor about how much you drink. If it turns out not to be too serious (risk of harm from cold-turkey detoxing), is ramping up your physical activity an option for you? I noticed that when I started…

Grad school or homeownership?

Pixie Espresso Machine, $229 (frequently on sale in the $180 range at places like Sur La Table and Williams Sonoma), Nespresso.

Yes! I was going to post the food chopper. Love it. I use it for salad, soup, and omelet fixings.

I don't know how old you are, but honestly, after a certain age, you'd be hard-pressed to find a partner who doesn't have herpes. And hand-wringing about it seems to be strictly an American thing. Relax and enjoy yourself.

The comments on this article make me feel like I've left Jezebel and ended up on Corporette or some other god-forsaken blog whose purpose is to cut down female competition.
