Downton is a is a pretty atrocious show. The plots are absurd, the abuse of narrative economy is extreme, the editing is just plain sloppy, and Julian Fellowes really does seem to believe this was a better way of life.

And now I have the Boston song, Amanda, running through my head extra loud and ragey.
"I'm gonna take you by the hand, and MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND, Amanda. I'm gonna tell you right away, I WON'T WAIT ANOTHER DAY, Amanda."

One of my friends got tickets for Regis and Kelly and invited me. I had never seen the show but I will use any excuse to go into the city. My friend makes extroverts look introverted so, of course, she got Kelly engaged in a conversation which Kelly quickly steered to the Housewives. Prostitution hoo-er and all. Kelly…

Or maybe they know they are the softest to the touch. I'd be pissed if everybody felt the need to touch me.

The last time I took Ambien and didn't go to bed immediately I apparently went berserk on eBay. I remembered NONE of it until packages started arriving at my house, it was like Bizarro Christmas in April.

My friend tried to commit suicide on Ambien. Not all the sleep activity side effects are amusing.

Plus I thought everyone enjoyed crackers with cheesedicks.

FTW, Diana Ross.

They said the same thing about Diana Ross playing Lady Day. Lady Sings the Blues is a classic and Diana did a marvelous and respectful job. I'm no fan of Rhianna by any stretch but she could pull it off.

Being that he is a woman that is sexually attracted to women, a man who is sexually attracted to men, a member of either gender attracted to both genders, and someone who is/has/will be transitioning their gender, what time can he possibly have to care about kids or Sports (proper noun). I mean, that's a lot of…

Tabloid writers are huge Joe Jackson fans.

THANK YOU, i'm tired of all the concern-trolling over high heels. i like them because they make me feel like a badass, so the "why do you harm yourself for men" whinefest does nothing for me.

I know this is SHOCKING, but sometimes, women do things that aren't about your boner.

I bet you mean well by this comment, but I just wanted to point out that it's not necessarily about the male gaze. (Although I do recognize that some dressing choices are made with the male gaze completely in mind. I'm looking at you, neisseria age 17-20).

"I don't wanna my tax money to pay for X."

I really don't get the "I DON'T WANT MY TAX DOLLARS PAYING FOR THIS" or the "WOW, WHAT CONVENIENT TIMING!" people.

I write about medical bias a lot. In this case, I didn't have space to stick a bunch of extra clauses in the end of that paragraph, but I hoped it was implied that I meant: "...unless you are my doctor, whom I carefully vetted to avoid any anti-fat prejudice and now trust to give me caring, humane medical advice."

Yup, I was coming here to make exactly this point. Sure, I'll buy that as a white person it sucks to be called cracker, or have people assume that you're preppy, or whatever else people like to talk about when they talk about reverse racism. It's not right for people to do that and they should stop. But it's sort of…

Yes. I'm just really friendly and try to show interest in my coworkers.
