Shut 'er down, folks

Fuck that judge.

That's a choking hazard. I always cut my diamond rings in half before giving them to my babies.

I find tabloids fascinating, in a train-wreck kind of way. I read the rundown on Jez every Wednesday but never actually buy them. I cannot believe the level of discourse in these magazines. Do people purchase them and read them seriously? Like do people think this is journalism?

"CLASSMATE PUT A ROCK IN EAR, HAS PIECE OF PAPER IN OTHER EAR"

It seems like the worst part would be hearing it.

I would have no problem loving them both.

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

In related news, I'm literally writing about solutions to pilling right now! (Well. Not RIGHT now because right now I'm commenting on Jezebel instead of finishing this week's cleaning column BUT it's right there in the outline I SWEAR.)(Why am I yelling so much??)

Pff whatever, call me when I can buy the Wanton Harlot dress.

Soooo damn cute. I'm always amazed at my dogs' drying capabilities. Just starting at their heads, working through their necks, shoulders, stomachs. Like little hurricanes! And if you're lucky your dog will do a blitz on the rug or carpet.
