That's a really interesting point. I hadn't thought of it that way.

Because the people affected by this clause in the rider are getting their tickets for free. $20 to charity in order to see Adele seems pretty reasonable. Further, it states that if someone else pays the $20 for them ahead of time, that's fine. So if it's a fan who is unemployed or what have you the entity giving the…

Personally, I am a fan of the flavored herring. In particular I like the mustard and garlic pickled herring. It skipped a generation in my family: dad and uncles can't even stand the idea of it due to childhood memories of grandpa opening jars his sister sent him and them running from the house gagging. So I always…

Yum! Ska du äta det med knäckebröd?

I don't think that's true. I waited until I was 27 to have sex. I am rather religious, however I had boyfriends but there was only one guy previously that it seemed right with and there were extenuating circumstances, yadda yadda yadda ... but part of it for me was that when I was single, sex rarely entered my mind. I…

Learning toys, thick books that he can chew on, mini-soccer ball, a little shirt that says something about loving mommy or something. I would actually suggest some combo - some sort of toy or interactive learning toy for him and something cute that she can dress him in for mama. Having been involved with the children…

I knew it!

I like your Shape magazine comment. Unless you're INCREDIBLY weak, 1lb ain't gonna do nothin. The magazines act like lifting anything more than 5lbs is going to turn you into Arnold Schwartzennager. I'm trying to get up to 2x10 at 25 kilos (at 2x8 for 20kilos, followed by 2x10s for 15 and 12 kilos) right now and my…

I want her arms! She and Jennifer Garner have the bodies that I aspire to.

I believed that I could be invisible. My family would always play the "Where's Svenska?" game when I was in the room. So I thought it was possible for me. This led to me practicing my sadface in the mirror with door open as a kid because I thought they couldn't see me. It severely reduced the effectiveness of my…

How did this photograph manage to make two incredibly gorgeous women look so ... odd? Nicki's nose has a weird white stripe going down it and Taylor's face looks like it has fillers or something in it, as though she's some Real Housewife. Is it the lighting? The angle? I just don't get it.

Thank you! I was confused by this as well.

I sometimes wear skirts in winter on the "warmer" (i.e., no colder than 5 below freezing) winter days. It's usually a wool skirt but they tend to be about mid-thigh to above the knee length on me because I'm quite tall. I wear warm tights and come to school/work in my sleeping bag jacket. I do it sometimes because I…

The "proverb tank" is one that my grandpa used to tell us whenever he thought we were lying. So much want!

My friend's cat Bisous Cat did this for the opening ceremonies of the winter olympics last time when there were fake snowflakes coming down. It was so cute, especially since she is the shyest cat I've ever met (in all the years I think I have touched her once).

I don't think this is so uncommon. When I was first born (OK, not 6 months, but still) my mom would get my brother ready for school and start backing down the driveway and suddenly remember "Oh crap! The baby!" because she was used to a routine with my brother and I was quiet and new.

My thoughts exactly! Also, Germans aren't so silly.

That picture of Tori Spelling's daughter is terrifying!

Ok! I'm gonna do it! I'm heading to Mauerpark and if there is nothing there I'll go to Alex to get my gluhwein on! There really isn't anything that screams Christmas to me more than mulled wine :-D

Thanks! I'm super stoked, even if sexy time may be hard to come by (he's meeting me in California after Christmas and meeting my family). Let the countdowns begin!
