Sturm und Drang, baby!

I've seen it; it's lovely, especially the lighting, especially in the outdoor scenes, which are plenty. It's almost a plot point, the sunset that leads the mother-in-law (who's one of the M.V.P's here, by the way - great role, great actress, gets some of the best lines) to muse about a local custom to greet such a…

I've actually done it for some other issue and it did help. Should I once again have the disposable income…

Also, one of the Treadaway twins. So far, I couldn't be bothered to tell them apart, but I'm checking for them.

I was born in the eighties, so my hunch is we're probably not talking about the same guy here.

Some part of me really wants to join the talk-therapy group session - I've been in a weirdly confessional mood lately - but I prefer to keep things somewhat vague even with my pseudonymous virtual identity. It's not that I wouldn't trust you all to be non-judgmental etc. (also because I know perfectly well that all my…

That sucks. I wish I could say something more productive.

Stigma against bisexuals is nothing to joke about. I have a good friend from college, who used to have a girlfriend he was hung up about for a long time, then came out as bisexual, then got a lot of "Oh come on, you can be honest with us" from our "progressive" circle of friends, then modified it to gay and now you…

I would watch it.

Your mother is boring.

I'd go with "solid". Or "competent". I feel that would be a good compromise between over-hyping and damning with faint praise.

In my experience, people who use that phrase tend to be aware of the hyperbole. It's supposed to be humorous.

Coming to think of it, there can indeed be something disarming about just being upfront about the needyness.

The great tragedy in this world is that people care more about being read than reading. Note that no one is likely to post "I want to be wittier and get more upvotes for my comments on the A.V. Club", because that's not the kind of comment that will get you upvotes at the A.V. Club. I think it's safe to assume that…

It's about resolving to smoke more tope-rate crack, silly bunny.

May the weather-gods be with you. I actually just returned from a trip we had to cut short because of storm warnings. The only lift in operation was the one for the baby slope and that got too boring too fast for the rest of the company. It's a pity, because it was just enough to whet my appetite and who knows when I…

Let's hope so. I'm not the kind of person anyone would run after (which is for the better, really. I imagine I would find it rather stressful/annoying and it's entirely possible that I'm somewhat projecting that attitude) and I'm most certainly not the kind of person to run after someone else. So it either happens…

… gets you out of breath, can leave you pleasantly exhausted
… requires quite a bit of stamina
… rather punishing if you overestimate your skills/the degree of difficulty you can handle, so realistic self-assessment is key
…magnificent sights, although most people look profoundly silly in the process
.. high risk of injury

Pretty much. I'm not entirely opposed to the idea, but I just can't be bothered to put in much effort and I realize that this means it effectively won't happen for me and I'm increasingly fine with that. Granted, having not that much of a libido anyway helps. Like. that whole maintenance sex idea, for instance. I'm as…

I think you're probably on to something with this idea of people needing more low-pressure low-stakes low-stigma opportunities to pour out their hearts to a stranger. You might want to give this a try: http://www.7cupsoftea.com.
I haven't tried it myself, but the description sounds similiar to what you had in mind.
