Holy shit it was so, so good. Like... I'm still mulling and digesting! Help me in this process!

Means you don’t not notice the pretty big difference between the Boys 4T and the Girls 4T.

Le Petit Comte at a party. This is how he does the first half an hour of most parties. This was on a specially hired “Fun Bus.” He didn’t think it was so fun... At least not until it was pulling out our neighbors’ driveway, at which point he sobbed because “I feel sad and regret because I want to play on it and now…

So in the past 6-8 weeks, I’ve fallen into a bit of a depression. This is very, very new for me as I have no history with it at all (though between my husband and brothers I am quite familiar with it). I feel like I have zero coping skills for even the smallest things that come up. It sucks, as I’m sure many of you…

Dear LaComtesse,

Have we discussed this video with the adorable children in it? Barbie obviously wants in on this new “socially aware” marketshare... and I think I’m pretty cool with it. What do you think?

As you can see, Monsieur and I are going creepy this time of year. Friday night was The Babadook, which was absolutely stunning, amazing, and terrifying. Like... so psychologically terrifying it was absurd. I actually cried several times. Anyway, it didn’t scare me in the sense that I’m now scared of the titular…

Someone posted this video in response to a gif I posted. It’s made my day, and I was already having a pretty good day.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

And I gotta say? Unimpressed. It was tense (per the title) but honestly not scary at all, and I am a baby with scary movies. And I really didn’t find the tension any more unique or intense than any number of other movies, in or out of the genre.

And holy shit, you guys. Ho.Ly. Shit. Here is a list of things I am going to do in response to seeing this movie...

I don’t know how I can even with this kid. I really don’t. Please enjoy Le Petit Comte and a game of his own invention...

So this was my status today...

So I’m working on an article right now and I need your help: who are the best moms in literature?! So far I have some jotted down...

TW: Pet loss... obviously.

Me: So Halloween is coming up soon.

In celebration of Singapore’s 50th birthday, a friend of mine organized the Singapore Arts Festival here in NYC (the East Village specifically). It started Saturday and is on until 9/21. Visual and performing artists, writers, and filmmakers will be featured in an array of cool events. Also delicious, delicious food.…

I know very little about my father’s family. He died when I was a toddler, and so I wasn’t as close to that side as I might have otherwise been. There were a few family legends and tidbits of information—we were early European settlers in Georgia. There was something about the fact that the first of our family to…

It’s a few years old now: Hot Coffee, which takes a look at “frivolous” lawsuits and “tort reform,” starting with the infamous “old lady stupidly spilled coffee on her stupid self and sued McDonalds and isn’t she stupid” myth.
