Maybe Doug is confusing it with 'Sweeney Todd?' But maybe even that is giving him too much credit.

In college I worked hard (and, retrospectively, probably in a unhealthy manner) to lose all the fat that I gained from ages 14 - 19. By the end of my freshmen year I was the smallest I had been in my adult body but I only appreciated it for a minute before I started feeling incredibly insecure again. Yup, I yearn…

Heh. I've actually heard, "the clothes are so pretty," but never heard anyone wish that they lived back then. Hell, my Dad can't even bring himself to watch the show (despite loving well written dramas) because it brings up too many bad memories. Apparently, the Dons and Rogers are too similar to his own dad.

I'm so thankful for the select cross-posting of all the Gawker Media blogs because otherwise I would have miss this beautiful piece (as a sci-fi/fantasy fan, I really should be checking out i09 more).

I've encountered this a few times in my real life as well. Otherwise intelligent friends will watch the first handful of episodes and then dismiss it outright for its sexism. I have to try hard not to roll my eyes and instead I just gently explain that "yes, that is the point..."

According to Blind Gossip she's never been pregnant (or, at least) not pregnant with Ivy Blue (or whatever the name is) or with possible spawn #2.

I have to say, it's taken me a while to warm up to Bamford. Her almost manic switching of voices is a bit too much for me. Her "normal" voice (to me it sounds like a nasally baby voice) seems put-on and unfortunately I find it a bit grating. BUT now that I've listened to a whole lot of podcasts she's done, I've…

The abridged recording of Phantom of the Opera was my first cd, but Pearl Jam Ten and the Garth Brooks cds "Friends in Low Places" were a couple of my other first cds.

Jolie - You neglected to mention the dishwasher method. No, seriously, it works!

Huh?! I think you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.

Semicolons get me through the day. Lawyers love the fuck out of run-on sentences and a sea of commas can just make the whole thing a mess. The Semicolon is my punctuation hero when I encounter these nasty sentences.

I'm tempted to share this with my professional nerd husband, but then I'm afraid he's immediately going to want to knock me up, so we can attempt to produce our very own adorable little nerd girl.

Oh great, this poor woman will now be a target for my crazy evangelizing fundamentalist grandfather who happens to live in Moore.

I haven't used Airbnb, but I'm another Jezzie who has used VBRO a whole lot. I've never used it internationally, but over the years I've booked with VBRO over 10 times. I've also had mostly great experiences. The only sort of negative experience I had was a place we rented in Upstate New York with some friends. …

I like the show the show because of Schumer, but I love it because of Tig Notaro and Kyle Dunnigan. I don't find it very laugh out loud funny, but I do enjoy it nonetheless.

Heh. I accept the challenge! We'll put those family JDs to use.

As a patient can you request/demand that no students come in?

I think so, I mean, I've heard of them but I don't actually know of anyone who does it. I should do a post here or on Groupthink asking if anyone knows or can recommend a fashion consultant.

Oh yeah, I've been wearing...you know, I don't even know what they're call...umm shapewear short thingys for years. My god, they're the best. I mostly wear them with dresses and skirts but nowadays I even wear them with some of my thinner slacks so that the slacks have a nicer clean look.

I am so very, very close to hiring a work fashion consultant. I work in a very corporate environment that is happily dress casual, but most women look much nicer than I do. My boss is practically a runway model of executive women work wear. In my role I do not interact with clients, so I have that excuse not be in…
