" Taking care of myself was at the very bottom of my list and I resented myself for it. It's so hard to leave that space, "

My pet llama disapproves.

Just got the umpteenth card in the mail of happy couples/families/pets looking all coordinated and lovely and wishing me a happy holiday.

Well... no. If 1 out of every 8097 people in the US commits suicide, that's still one out of 8097 on average per state. And if were to talk about the breakdown for the largest 200 cities in the US, it wouldn't then be 1 out of 40. It would still be (on average) 1 out of 8097. If we don't have the breakdown, some may…

Ned was a friend of mine. Not a close friend, but very much more than just an acquaintance. I first met him through a mutual friend around 2005 in NYC, and knew immediately (like instantly, no exaggeration) that he was one of the most genuine, good-hearted people I'd ever encountered. He just radiated that kind of…

But who can blame the Catholic church, what with their great track record with asking people to be celibate, and deny their basic urges?

I love the cold-eyed gaze of the mom meeting the girlfriend.

I usually only read Jezebel, never comment, but I just wanted to stop in and say that Mr. Z used to teach at my former high school (also Catholic) in Fort Lauderdale, and he was truly an absolutely amazing teacher, always involved with the students, always planning school-wide activities for everyone to participate…

I do, in a roundabout way. Unfortunately, if I told them to walk out of the high-stakes standardized tests, I'd lose my job. :(

And let's not forget the fact that she keeps saying "No, no, I'm not busy at all", while Karl sits there in disbelief. Burn.

I thought he was understandably frustrated. Like they were both really into each other and wanted to be there, and he was going from making out with this gorgeous woman who also thinks he's gorgeous into dealing with the knowledge that he would never get her full attention for even ten minutes. We're told that she's…

//so happy. Such delight. Ooh touch spot again.

Fine as hell and kind and fucking beautiful. The lines in this part DESTROY me. He says that awesome thing about life being full of complications. Then the phone rings the second time around, he says, "Will it make him better?" BECAUSE HE CARES. She says, "No," and goes about the utterly futile answering of the…

If I may speak for all hetero women & gay men everywhere, "Looks a bit like" Karl is still really good! Way to go!

"So a dude had to hold it open and they had to barrel in against the strong wind blowing out."

cock-blocktopus made me snort tea out of my nose

There is not ONE time where I have watched this movie and not said, "FUCK HER BROTHER! KARL IS FINE!" I mean, shit. Priorities, right?

I just want to talk about Karl aka Rodrigo. Why even bother with the rest of this ?

Race and class stuff huh? You mean the fact that the aggressor was a young black male from a lower middle class likely on his way back to Marin City, the driver was a black male and the victim was what your assuming is a moderate to middle/upper class white woman? That the driver probably didn't take her seriously…

I can't find weight/reach comparisons, but here's my take on this as someone who has trained for years in a striking art: ehhhh.
