Quite recently, I was house/catsitting for pair of professors in my department, a married couple with a famously gorgeous, enormous, and extremely tasteful house. They told me to sleep in their room. On the nightstand, they’d left out a bottle of lube. I was scandalized: they were using the cheapest, crappiest lube,…

Remember that it also takes electricity/fuel and water to make paper towels. It’s clear that air dryers are more environmentally friendly — though still not as environmentally friendly as wiping your hands on your pants.

Obsessed over that movie before it even came out, when its initial name was “Dancing about Architecture,” because I worshipped Scully and wanted to see anything with Gillian in it. Then I forgot about it for 15+ years. I can’t believe the original screenplay title was still stored in some back shelf in my brain.

Conversely, I’ve heard the name “Gay Talese” for years and always assumed it was a woman.

So even small successes can look like big triumphs.

Not only was it found in the vegetarian samples, but it was found in 2/3s of the vegetarian samples.

dammit, i was hoping this was real. still hilarious, tho.

Pilot G-Tec C4. Very fine, never skips, makes handwriting look like a font. Perfect for those of us with small handwriting. These are the holy grail.

PHEW, I thought you were talking about Scott Adsit.

People who think you must, under all circumstances, immediately break up are by and large people who’ve never been in a very long relationship.

This is a really nice initiative. :) I’ve been commenting periodically for two years and never left the grays (except on Millihelen). At some point I just quit bothering: why take the time to type up a well-considered comment that literally no one will read?

My partner has had this, on both his neck and his eyelids (and his armpits... all the sensitive areas of skin that tend to react badly to stress and/or fragranced laundry detergent). There’s some research to suggest that reduced ceramide levels can cause eczema, and skin-care produces with ceramides can help treat…

Also, traditionally manly men are not afraid of imaginary things. Like misandry.

Clinique Lash Power!

But... in LA, she might well get actively fat-shamed all the time.

I imagine she’d have a proportionately small waist and carry a lot of weight on her DDs. But yeah, variable sizing is the biggest part of the answer.

She also lives in LA. Being above the midpoint of the “healthy” (wtf) BMI range counts as fat there.

Still sounds more edible than a chip butty.

I LOVE the slowed down version of it. It’s like a magnification of the original, exposing every potential flaw, that reveals how completely perfect the the recorded performance was.

Also, for many airlines you get nominally insured for some contents of your bags, but not for electronics, jewelry, and a handful of other things. As I learned after my boyfriend packed his dSLR in his suitcase and it was stolen somewhere between Boston and Manchester.
