Full disclosure: the ring my wife wears wasn't worth $10k, but it was somewhere between $5k and $10k. Let's leave it at that.

I would sob my heart out if I received a much-delayed letter from my mom. She's been dead a few months shy of five years, and I still miss her like crazy.

Thanks, Obama!

Both this and the linked story seem to be missing a crucial bit of information... how exactly did the letters go missing for 45 years?!

Aw, it's like Amelie.

That's one that that GoldieBlox has persistently done to annoy me. All the girls in the commercial are wearing tutus or fairy wings or whatever froofy thing. The toy itself is pastel pinks and purples. They want to decry princess culture, make it seem like an either/or choice, all the while using the trappings of…

I went to a club with a friend of mine and we decided to go through each other's wallets (do other people do this?) while waiting for the first act to hit the stage. It's a little fascinating to me what other people store in there.

I'm definitely going to become one of the festival hippies in costume. I love music festivals, but this might be my last Coachella. I'm one of the rare ones who goes at noon and stays all day and all night for the bands. Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, a backpack, a locker to store a jacket for night - definitely not a…

I've been to Coachella more times than I''d care to admit. I've been photographed by fashion bloggers at Coachella. I have a doctorate in smuggling booze and drugs into music festivals. I cringed. This is 100% true and why I'm really not interested in going anymore. I do think that part of the problem is just the…

Yes. I am, err, used to be the biggest fangirl out there, but he honestly disappointed me so.fucking.much. with this. He was so committed to Vanessa, and the kids, he loves the kids! He was always talking about how important his family is to him and it was this family-man quality that I admired about him (why, I don't…

Dear Jezebel commentariat:

I sat next to Teri Hatcher at Starbucks once and she was very friendly. I was at a table for 4 (it was the only one open when I sat down) and she asked if she could sit with me. I said yes and kept reading and left her alone, but she made a couple of phone calls in front of me and seemed very friendly and…

ENOUGH about how people who work in advertising are not real writers. I'm an art director and my copywriter is most certainly a very talented writer. A real one. As are all the other writers around here.

I live in LA and the described Bro is actually what we call a Douche. A Bro is always a guy who wears a baseball hat and an Affliction shirt and drives a raised truck.

15 year old boy model's kids' clothes. 15 year old girls model women's clothes. This encapsulates a lot of things that are more than a bit wrong with society.

As much as it is horrifying to see a picture of the child (whose identity is not revealed); it brings home that this is what child abuse looks like. It makes it real, and shows the child so suffering. In a culture in which we generally only see mugshots of the abusers, it might be helpful to demonstrate the real…

A joke with free wine, though!

This is a company that won't even sell shot glasses, apparently.

I will say: despite the horrible ending and SO MUCH of the later seasons just sucking, I regret nothing about Lost. Nothing. I still count it among the most enjoyable hours I've spent watching a show. When it was good it was some of the best TV ever.
