Woo hoo!!

Damnit ABC, now I'm going to have to watch this show

She'll probably suck, but she's been really into the fitness stuff lately so maybe she'll surprise us? I have to have some hope that she'll take it a bit seriously so I don't rage at the screen every week

Somehow I feel like the people saying that fast food workers don't deserve a living wage because it's unskilled work are probably the same ones who tell people to just go work at McDonald's when they hear people complain about being unemployed.

I would argue that NYC is pretty crucial for Captain America - I mean his line about just being a guy from Brooklyn wouldn't make any sense otherwise. Plus there's the whole scene where he's pointing out all the different alleyways where he's been beaten up to Peggy, clearly establishing the neighborhood as home. We…

I have 4 accounts (checkings, savings) with 2 banks - one major national bank, one formerly local regional bank. I've had the regional accounts since birth - literally. My parents started the account for me when my grandparents gave them some money when I was born (think it was maybe $200?) and then left it there in a…

I really loved it. Lucy Liu kills it and JLM does a very different Sherlock than BC (in some ways, closer to the original books) who I grew to love.

I was one of those who started to spite watch Elementary because the Sherlock fans were being such jerks about it (How can a woman be Watson? That's ridiculous! I don't know... how could a mouse be Sherlock and Holmes? Or a cucumber? Or a dog? Or a guy fighting a dragon? Or any of the myriad adaptations we've had of…

I think it would be gimmicky if she wasn't killing the role. Lucy Liu has carried the heavy lifting in the show in terms of character development (Joan Watson is a fully-realized three-dimensional character who we see has a family, a love-life, outside friends, career aspirations, and can stand up to both Holmes and…

One key thing to remember while watching is switch your expectation from watching for a good mystery (for the most part Elementary's are pretty standard) to watching for the development of Holmes and Watson's partnership. I thought the show really found it's stride by Episode 12 "M", but it got markedly better by the…

Depends on which one. They don't seem to have much respect for Allah

She lifted whole pages from Pamela Dean's books in some of her fics. Supposedly after that was exposed (but not she first claimed that similarities between the two were due to unconscious inspiration, then after people demonstrated she lifted many many sentences word for word/barely rewrote paragrahs she claimed she…

The Italians and Jews have been cool with expressive hand gestures for ages, come join us!

Pretty sure all of tumblr will back you up on that one. They love him there.

I think this is presenting a bit too simplistic vision. As people have stated, there are often multiple (and competing) reasons for why people move where they do - if kids are involved good school districts often guide purchasing decisions if you want to avoid private schools, where both adult members of the family…

Don't forget about the time she got all of her followers to buy her a laptop...

Weird... maybe Rotating Orange intended to quote you?

Are you also RotatingOrange? If not, they totally copy and pasted your response directly below you. If so, isn't it a little weird to be using two handles in the same conversation?

My way is probably not the most efficient, but it's one that regularly keeps me in home-cooked meals that stick to my budget (>$150/month for just me, which is high compared to others that I've seen here but I also like ice cream and wine, ok?).

Have you ever seen the commercial she did a while back that plays with this idea? It was surprisingly cute.
