Yeah, I'm a fan of all the Kailyn segments, mostly (depressingly) for the fact that she seems to have the most beyond her circumstance/fucked up situation — the mostly absentee mother, and Jo's parents, while commendable for putting her up, don't seem to really have a good handle on this situation or, apparently,…

I would read the shit out of a weekly Teen Mom review. That show is dying to be unpacked. Jenelle's toxic relationship with her mother, Kailyn's pretty tragic family situation and scowling cipher of a babydaddy (seriously, why are you such a dick Jo), Leah and Corey's disarming maturity, and Chelsea's completely…

I liked this movie when it was called Sim0ne.

i hate them!
I hate those meesters to peesters!

Hollywood seems to think this is the first time a woman has enjoyed casual sex.

Yep
I did not "get" the Dolores thing until about twenty minutes ago.

I'm a man, but solid Thompson Twins scholarship does a lot to swing me the other way.

My dream
Has always been to get an audition on this show, and sing "In The Name Of Love" by the Thompson Twins.

Fun fact
Curtis "Booger" Armstrong is the world's foremost expert on Nilsson and wrote the liner notes for his most recent reissues.
