SWOOSH. I’m sure I was every bit as glamorous in my embroidery as Nicole Kidman was at the 1997 Oscars.

WHAT. No. NOOO. That is terrible. Compared to that, I guess Carson Daly is doing pretty great. Downtown Julie Brown hosts the weekend countdowns on Sirius 90s on 9. She was a little before my time but she seems delightful now.

In 2002, I wore a basic black strapless dress because I was boring, or didn't care enough. In 2001, I wore a red halter, and in 2000 I wore a white backless dress. I got more boring as the high school years wore on. I def wore a spaghetti strap dress to homecoming in 1999 (it was black but had embroidered flowers at…

I wish this image weren’t so tiny, but here are my little shitbags patrolling the stairs at our old apartment.

Chicken doesn’t have thoughts on them because ours is woefully underused. She does, however, love the stove top and would happily climb in the oven if we let her. A lot of my time is spent making sure Chicken doesn’t maim or kill herself with household items.

Chicken would like to say hello to her fellow black and white window hunter.

Don’t all the fancy new washers and dryers have pre-set speed wash cycles? I had to buy a new washer and dryer recently and now I just hit speed wash 99.9% of the time. I’m sure it’s terrible for my clothes but my clothes are shitty anyway.

I’ve never seen that show but I wonder if it took a while for Jared Padalecki to not answer to the name Dean on set.

I don’t get Channing Tatum, either. Beefy isn’t really my thing (though he does seem like a genuinely funny, delightful person, which helps). Ryan Gosling seems smarter than your average Hollywood bear, a little more self-aware, and funny, which makes him charming-ish.

But he’s somehow so much sexier than Brad Pitt. Like, Brad Pitt is objectively gorgeous. Stupid gorgeous. But I’ve never watched him in something and been like, “I want to sex him,” except maybe in Legends of the Fall but that was probably mostly because I was a tween with dramatic taste. Aaannnnnyway, whenever I see…

I’m crying laughing at this thread. And not laughing AT everyone, but with everyone.

A dog birthday sounds so much better than a baby shower. Baby showers are torture that you have to pay for.

I lived in the eastern ‘burbs my whole childhood. I think growing up there is what makes me so reticent to go back OTP.

Whaaaaaaat? I just left my two-bedroom apartment in town because the rent went from $1600/month to $2000/month in three years. When I left, they said they were putting my unit on the market for $2200. The newer complexes down the street were starting at $2300 for a two-bedroom. I bit the bullet and bought a cheap…

The signing period hasn't started yet. Sine die was just yesterday.

He hasn't really waited long. Sine die was just yesterday.

An override ... by the legislature? I don't think so. They'd have to introduce new legislation in the next session, which doesn't begin again until next year (Georgia has a short legislative session).

If only. I suspect he'll say something about revenue and supporting Georgia business.

Oh totally, she did mice research, too, she would just talk about the implications of said research on humans, which was really interesting to me. She’s in law school now, but she did aging brain/dementia research. I flew across the country to watch her defense and it was awesome.

Oh yeah, I frequent those places, too. My list was just getting really long, because we have so many great places :)
