Whatever Indiana, I'm jammin. This is why I left you.

Noooo, Hoosier here, and just started liking Haim! You guys can't all hate it already, goddammit I'm always behind on these things.

Yea, this trope (which shall remain nameless ;) )starts to lose its effectiveness when it's done all the time. The most well known Greek plays and epics were always doing this. That's why they seem so melodramatic, because they don't bother setting up characters. It also helps that the characters they write about…

How would one even go about getting proof of one's SAT scores? I just assumed that after I got my degree (and then another degree), they dissolved into the ether of irrelevance.

ACT forever! If I converted my ACT score to the SAT it was around 1400 (before they added the writing portion, which I would have slammed), but my actual SAT score was much lower. Fuck the SAT. Fuck it hard. In unpleasant ways.

And we have the t-shirts to prove it.

The moral of this story is do not ever try having fun at the University of Chicago.

Is this why so many of my friends who wear analog wristwatches still can't tell time from an analog clock? Because it's all jewelry to them? This...explains so much. FWIW I still use my watch to tell time and feel a little uneasy without it.

What are your favorite moments of Katy Perry's latest public vision board?

The more I learn about it, the more I realize that New Mexico is probably one of the better states in this union. And I mean that as a compliment, I think I want to live there one day.

I guess it's all relative? My home state was and still is a hot-bed for the Klan, and I'm not from the nice part, like Indy. I'm from the area where they think Girl Scouts are goose-stepping femi-terrorists and creationism is a perfectly valid scientific field. We get uncomfortable questions everywhere, but I feel…

To provide some political context: Gujarat is Gandhi's home state, a fact they're quite proud of, so to get the date wrong is rather significant. And moreover, the man whose name the news keeps splashing around in that clip, Narendra Modi, is the BJP (the right-wing nationalist party) candidate for Prime Minister and…

Big cities are usually pretty casual about interracial couples, but on the whole, the UK has its fair share of racial problems. My husband was born in Britain and is first generation Indian. In London, it's absolutely no big deal, but going to other areas, it's less cut and dry. The same is true in America; in…

I really don't know what to say to that, because it seems like you're just ignoring information now. The fact is, even if people have changed the definition, which change, by the way, has been recognized by a pretty authoritative dictionary, it still is not even close to the mixup in the article above. You just want…

Actually, let's do bother with those other OED definitions, especially the following:

Oh my god, my new obsession! I should have waited to start it until the entire season was done, because waiting a week in between episodes is seriously killing me. Especially after that last one, holy crap!

I want to watch The Mindy Project so bad, but I don't get HuluPlus where I am. And it's not on any of my *cough* alternative sites.

I started watching The Bridge (the Danish/Swedish version) a couple weeks ago. But at about the second to last episode, it looked like something terrible was going to happen, so I switched it off. If I don't see it, it never happened! Right guys?

It's like Pushing Daisies but involving genitalia.
