THIS IS AMAZING!!!

Clicked because I thought those were Jalapeño Cheetos. I'm not mad, I'm disappointed.

Mmmmno... Look at that smug smile. WTF is Grace so smug about? She shat herself way more recently than anyone I know.

Ice queens unite! My romance/nostalgia setting is broken. A drunk friend-with-benefits once told me I was an "ice queen on an island surrounded by barbed wire and a freezing ocean". I took it as a compliment.

Dammit - this joke should have been mine!

YES! It's definitely Julia Garwood. I'm not totally sure which one but Gentle Warrior sounds right...

Isn't there an old church doctrine that childbirth pain is punishment for original sin? So Eve eats the apple, becomes aware of sex, and all women forever suffer because of it. It's not that different.

Yeah, I don't get it. Mr Penguin and I split the bills 50/50. Joint purchases go on the joint credit card, which we split as well. The rest of your money is your own. If you want to buy $500 shoes go for it, as long as you can still pay your half of the bills.

There's a great line in Americanah (paraphrased): "I've been African all my life but I only became Black after I moved to America".

I do not think I am good at sex. I am okay at sex. Probably average. Enthusiastic, but a bit lazy. I think I'm the second best lover I've had. Good, but always with room for improvement.

I am terrifyingly easily influenced by repeated exposure to ideas so am already halfway on board the Spanx train.

YES PLEASE. I came here to post this:

While I'm glad she made a public statement condemning the techniques, she claims that she didn't know that producers were telling contestants not to eat what the doctors recommended. I cannot imagine that she was that disconnected. She's built her own brand on the back of this show, and stuck around for however many

This guy who only liked (and could only come in) missionary. For, like, six weeks and then again a couple months later when I was travelling and happened to be in the same city. Honestly, it was just laziness. And, like, the first few times it didn't even matter. Who cares? But after a few weeks I really should have

Weird to see such a vivid visualization of how much I have to lose before I reach my goal weight.

I liked Amy - I couldn't stand Nick. I gave up on just three books in 2014, two of them because I couldn't spend time in the brain of another whiny, clingy, narcissistic asshole. I think Gillian Flynn is very talented and that this is a good book. I just couldn't read it all. I basically skipped all the Nick chapters

This was my first thought! Or a mini series? I would definitely watch this - probably twice!

My friend and I were talking about this in relation to those Dalhousie students who talked on Facebook about chloroforming women. Some of the responses have been essentially "They shouldn't say that on Facebook" rather than "Why do they not think of women as people?" This idea that 80,000 people "liking" something

It's been a thing in NZ for at least 20 years. They introduced them in London because so many expats live there.

Yes! Please don't tar NZ coffee with this Starbucks bullshit brush! A flat white is just espresso with steamed milk - a latte without foam. I like them because I don't understand the purpose of foam, but I'm not about to start spouting bullshit about microfoam.
