Ooh, my brag for this week is that I got to meet Lindy West on Wednesday night and get her to sign my copy of her book! Also, the night before that, I went to an awesome concert.

I had some beer and cider at a house party earlier, hence why I’m commenting so late, and now I’m drinking some water before I had to bed. How was the Heavy Melon?

Yeah, they mentioned it at the beginning of the reading! I need to listen to it!

I keep getting distracted by work and OITNB, which I somehow am not even halfway through yet, but I’m a few chapters into Lindy’s book! I went to a reading she had for it on Wednesday and got to meet her and fangirl and I also love the book; it’s so funny.

I definitely don’t know who’s on the FBI’s Most Wanted List. Guess I might as well drop out of grad school and burn my college diploma since apparently all that education was useless... =P

According to a friend I have from Brazil (and I’m assuming he knows more about what’s going on there than I do), some politicians are pushing to get microcephaly to be considered “incompatible with life,” similar to how anencephaly is categorized so that women infected with Zika, or at least women who are pregnant…

I’m used to people confusing Costa Rica with Puerto Rico or Colombia. This mixup is new.

Yes, we are and I’ll send you a DM on Twitter right now!

No, I haven’t been ungreyed yet, and always feel too awkward to ask. :(

All the guys I work (and there’s only like 3) with who are close to my age are gay, engaged or married, and annoyingly hot. I also have a friend from grad school who’s good looking, but also super, super weird so I don’t think I could actually handle dating him.

I chose public health, because i’ve always been interested in learning about diseases and stopping them, but I wanted to do work that affects a larger portion of the population than I could do as a doctor. Then, during college, I got drawn more to social justice issues and sexual health issues, which is what i’ve been…

I went to free concert that the New York Philharmonic put on in the park last Wednesday! And i’m going to see Fitz and the Tantrums on Tuesday!

Not much happened in my life this week, but I somehow managed to get a ticket for Shakespeare in the Park last night! After losing the digital lottery again, I got in the standby line after work and they had enough tickets that I got one without having to camp out in Central Park all day (granted, it was a beautiful…

I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. :( I think i’ve struggled with anxiety on and off since I was a kid (well, i’ve always had it; it’s just chosen to be particularly noticeable at certain times in my life)?though I didn’t start treating it until my junior year of college after I had a panic attack on a plane and then…

I’ve still only gone to the WTC Memorial twice, when forced to due to family obligations, because people taking selfies there just annoy me way too much. But yes, Bethesda Fountain/Terrace is awesome and I’m kind of embarrassed that I didn’t know about it until I started watching Gossip Girl. There’s also sometimes…

I can’t believe I never managed to see this before I moved out of Houston.

Yeah, but they were still siblings via adoption.

I already posted this in another comment thread, but for real, why did they think that storyline was a good idea?!

Also, didn’t they actually try to do an incest storyline (or at least incestuous thoughts) in season 6 of Dexter between the two of them? I’m still just like, whyyyyyy.

Thanks to my uncle who is tbh an elitist jerk most of the time, but very up on Brodaway and very generous, I got to see Wicked and Hamilton with the original casts.
