I just can't stop looking at her, she's such a beautiful dog. You are so lucky to have found her, and she you! I can't wait til I live where I can adopt a dog too. Won't be for years but I love thinking ahead :)

THAT FACE! She is beautiful.

Thanks for quoting that! I wish I hadn't packed up all my books now.

Yeah, that's it! Michfest! I couldn't remember :p

This reminds me of an essay I read this year. It was in one of those Best Writing of 200X anthologies, and it was about a feminist retreat, almost like a feminist women-only Woodstock. And a huge division arose because some trans women attended (quite a few, in fact) and some cis women wanted them gone because they…

Yeah, sorry, season 3 :) I figured he might have been joking, but I was being extremely, unreasonably optimistic. I'll have to see if I can find the tweet.

I could have sworn Simon Pegg tweeted that they were finally going to make a season 2 of Spaced...

Book snob. I can't make myself read something that isn't well written. And while I don't care what classics you've read or which thinkers you can quote, if all I see on your shelves is Sandra brown, James Patterson, The Secret and other cheap mass market paperbacks like that, I am forming an opinion about our…

This is me too. Also I have a good memory for movie lines, so I can be a bit snobbish about references and quotes.

YES. I had a great local hefenweisen last time my parents visited, and figured that since my dad's a beer drinker, he'd like it. Sure enough he asked for beer, saw what I had, and within 10 minutes had made up an excuse to go out so he could buy Coors lite. I just...NO.

There are so many amazing comments on this article already. I don't have time to read them all! But seriously, just skimming has been hilarious.

...I'd read that.

If people really think that, it sucks. They adopted because she can't have kids, and they let the birth mother live with them for months leading up to the birth. They're kind of awesome :)

Not that surprised. Several of my female friends have either gone to Mexico or the border themselves or sent family members to pick up birth control pills for them on the cheap. It's close by and a lot of people already make decent money bringing products from Mexico to sell in Texas (I'm talking about the legal ones,…

I came here for this express purpose. The puns just don't stop!

Does anybody else have a feet phobia?

I remember reading that in some Arabic societies as well it is considered rude to sit with the soles of one's feet pointing at the person opposite you. Crouching or squatting is considered the more polite and thus preferred position. I assume this springs from a traditional consideration for others — when you wear…

Calvin is king!

That actually sounds like a really awesome Saturday night. I would love to hear your assessment of the parallels!

Mansfield Park. I know it's sacrilege, but I felt that the movie did the story (and Fanny!) true justice.
