My first and only lay off was in advertising. By everyone’s account I was awesome. I did my job well, I was well liked, I was on track to move up into production business manager... I got laid off anyhow. Didn’t even work on the account that left the company - that was the worst part! And that was when I realized that…

I am a colorful girl, but Christ those uniforms! I feel badly for people who are colorblind. Everything will just look gray. Am I correct in that both the Bears and the Broncos will be retna bleed orange? The sad thing is that I also like orange. But not the “I dipped the uniform in a vat of Orange Crush syrup”…

Heh, try working in advertising. They all purge people like a snake shedding skin every few months. Mail room, admins, senior creatives. No one is ever safe and it never seems to be about who is a fuck up or who is not carrying their weight. So advertising is an industry of vagabonds who are always kind of looking and…

You know.. this series has made me realize how much fauna here in America is out to kill us. I know we make fun of Australia for having all the things that can kill you, but we have plenty of things that can kill us here right in our own back yards.

The funny thing is that she is generally a really sweet cat. She just looks so crabby all the time! Although, she does wish my death when I put her sparkly Christmas collar on her. She wants to be free. :)

My cat is always judging the hell out of me. Erry damn day. Sheba is judging you too.

This cat is dapper AF.

Sadly, that standard is “whatever shitty textbook the fudie nutjobs in Texas decide are the best.” Texans! If any of your state schoolboard members are up for re-election please make sure to toss the nutty ones out, eh?

This. My lazy as hell cat caught a mouse in our condo (nearby construction drove those suckers into our building). She was quite proud. Then MrMojito, not knowing what to do with the corpse, flushed it down the toilet. I was asleep through the whole thing. I’m just happy she didn’t put it on the bed as a gift for me…

Poor tiny, adorable owl. (I love owls. They are my favorite).

These kids are being taught from textbooks that tell them that slaves were “migrant workers” who came over to America for a better life. I doubt they will teach that them that people used to die from things like Polio or that they were rendered sterile from Mumps.

Nah, girl.. nah. No boob support, and its a frontal wedgie and a yeast infection waiting to happen.

I had issues discerning who was Tris and who was Four. It’s like there was no distinction between their personalities - why have it told from two points of view if the points of view have zero distinction. I feel like Veronica couldn’t live up to the weight of the first two books and the whole thing caved in on her.

I imagine that there is no support at all in that suit for one’s boobs. I need support. I am not young enough to have a swimsuit with no sort of shelf or soft cup or underwire for support - I need something up there. Also seems to be camel-toe inducing. No, I’ll pass.

Shaline looks really pretty with dark hair.

I think a lot of the time the shoes they get are sample sizes so they don’t necessarily fit right. Like the designer will spend all this time making a dress for the celeb and then they just tell them to pick something from the sample shoe closet and hope they fit okay.

Honestly, I’d rather just stay in a hotel and call it a day. I know what I’m getting and they don’t care what they are getting as long as my credit card works.

Maybe I’m just feeling snacky, but someone should have worked empanada into this conversation, thus circling everything back to our taco truck overlords.

MrMojito wants to call to tell me he is going to the gym! In my mind I’m like “ain’t nobody got time for that!” I think he is literally afraid of new technology. I grew up with a tech nerd early adapter kind of household, so new tech is not scary.

I’ll take Kyle Orton back. I miss his majestic Purdue Boilermaker beard here in Chicago. Anyone is better than my buddy smoking Jay Smutler..
