I'm right there with you. I HATE the weight room, I never go in there. But I found you don't necessarily have to hit the barbell to build strength. When I was in high school, during the soccer off-season, we would go to a strength training class at the local college that had us doing some really creative stuff. It was…

Time? Thought?! WORK!?! This is Hollywood, dammit. We have the patience of a two-hour old fruit fly!

I swear to all things holy, the CW must have a bunker where they genetically engineer the most beautiful people in the world. I have started complimenting people by saying "You're so pretty, you could be on the CW."

Edlund is always the best, and season 8 has had some really promising episodes so I'm keeping my hopes up.

I've been rewatching Supernatural from its beginning. I think I'd rather live in a demon-infested America than endure one more ominous political ad telling me that the USA is headed toward some sort of nebulous, dystopian socialist state.

You and me both, friend. You and me both.

I'm from that part of the US that calls harvestmen (a term with which I was not familiar until just this moment) daddy long legs, and I knew about the UK crane flies, but I had never heard of cellar spiders before. A quick google image search and now I have nightmare fuel for a good few months to come.

This has all the trappings of a saltwater Bong Joon-ho Kaiju.

There really needs to be a South and Southeast Asian version of Supernatural if it doesn't already exist. I would watch the hell out of that show if it churned out Penanggalan caliber monsters.

That's HORRIFYING! Oh gawd, the inhumanity!

That's easy for Neil to say, Tori Amos gives him a cottage to start off in!

"Notice it has a point at the top for ease of entry, and just the right shape for the human mouth..."

I've read in other sources that he also ate approximately 30 millipedes. Depending on the species, they can contain very small trace amounts of poison, apparently.

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is one of the few books that made Adult Me cry. You give me those SF books, Junot. You give me them now please thank you.

These types of comments are some of the most annoying types of comments we get. io9ers don't really have a beef with Jezzies, you're thinking of the cesspit that is the Gawker flagship. Most feminists will not find this all that shocking or incendiary. I don't.

*jumps on with Nuns on the Bus*

That denim...dress(?) tho. I think it's brave for Lagerfeld to pay tribute to his favorite Springsteen album. Me, I'm more of a "Born to Run" kind of person.

It looks like it was made for a Dalek floating off to a Labor Day picnic...backwards.

1984-"Challenged in the Jackson County, FL (1981) because Orwell's novel is "pro-communist and contained explicit sexual matter."
