I dunno. The Heritage Foundation is already saying that they will only be supporting far(ther) right candidates in midterm primaries because they want people who "fight". This shit is why I am vehemently against primaries and in favor of party bosses choosing candidates to run in each district. I do not believe, nor…

Give it all by Rise Against! Plus everything else you wrote is pretty well spot on. Sub out some of the happier pop ones for harder stuff for lifting and you have my ipod.

I had brunch (and half of church after waking up more than an hour late!) with a friend who was in town for the weekend from Chicago and her ADORABLE 11 month old daughter. She is seriously the best kid ever. I then went to Trader Joe's, bought myself some wonderful smelling flowers, bought some freaking awesome…

I haven't chosen a Halloween costume for myself (boyfriend wants us to go as ravers, but I'm not too excited about that one) but I did just buy a sushi costume for my kitty (which Petco.com won't let me directly link to, bastards)! Perhaps I could wear my kimono that I received as a gift from the exchange students who…

As a recent resident of one of those countries (stupid GEMA law in Germany!) there is no tongue scraper. She says that she sticks her tongue out because it's the way she smells, like a snake. They are actually pretty funny/cute promos.

Currently have no TV but that did just make grading a bunch of truly terrible papers on development feel a little better.

I think she looks really hot and I wish I had the confidence to pull something like that off. However, she kept tugging it closed in the clip indicating that she knows it isn't something that can be comfortably worn on daytime TV, so why not go for something just as awesome but that doesn't require all the checking?

Yeah, nearly all wedding dresses here are strapless.

Yeah, I guess I should have elaborated on the original comment: he continued doing this long after he stopped racing. He's going to be 63 this year and still shaves his legs and not a fuck seems to be given by anyone. Oh hockey, I'm so glad it's hockey season again!

That's a good point. Personally I think people should shave or not shave whatever they want. My dad continued doing it long after he stopped racing professionally, I can only assume because he came to like it better. I'm more just shocked that people notice and care on something as relatively trivial as this. Perhaps…

Seriously. When I used to swim competitively the dudes would shave their entire bodies to be a bit more streamlined and it was fine. My boyfriend sometimes complains about his leg hair getting caught in pants or gymnastics equipment and I really don't understand why he doesn't just shave them. I wouldn't care and I…

My dad also wore such awesome clothing well into the late 90s. I swear he did it just to embarrass me (which definitely worked). But yeah, not a word was ever said, even by our very conservative and homophobic neighbors.

This is news and folks are concerned? My dad was a professional cyclist and shaved his legs as long as I can remember. No one ever seemed to notice or care.

While I love Japanese vending machines (especially the ones that dispense hot drinks!) but what we really need are the Japanese Kit Kats! Seriously, the milk tea kit kats (and the green tea sakura. and the citrus. ok, all of them) are the most delicious candies ever and it makes me sad that we don't have them here.

A friend of mine moved there and gained something like 20 pounds. She has a corn allergy so she could not eat ANY processed foods in the US basically but Japan has fewer corn based fillers in their foods. She moved back to the US last month and is already down 5 pounds.

I can only dream of having posture that good.

Brilliant!

Brilliant! Apparently J. Crew isn't putting that kind of thought and time into their clothes. Color me shocked.

Maybe a kitty? Boyfriend's friend is obsessed with his bunny and my cat becoming besties and has sent me numerous videos and articles discussing how rabbits and cats get along.

I seriously love that dress but I do wonder: doesn't it chafe under the armpits? I have a sequin shirt and I have to wear a cardigan or something over it because I end up with sequin burns on my inner arms and armpits otherwise. Is there some trick other than walking around like I'm at Muscle Beach?
