I seriously debated it, but when I looked only Chicago was left, and that would add a flight and hotel into the cost, but if they add another screening in DC (or Baltimore or Philly) I may more seriously consider it. I am probably going to go for the $75 package because I kind of want the badge and shirt.

Thanks! It came from a discussion if I were emperor of the entire world. People would be required to come to me if they wanted to start a war, and that would be my response.

I love this movie so very, very much, and I am very much a woman. I was having a discussion recently with friends regarding what we consider to be the ten most quotable comedies, and this was my top pick. If I had $25K I would definitely do this but since that is more than our entire wedding budget it is…

We aren't getting married until October, and so our wedding budget is still in flux, but not sure if this will come up again after the event, so I wanted to include information on our budget, since I know seeing budgets can really help (it has really helped us). Also, sorry there is so much here, I just know I wish I…

I was at a bar a year or so ago (went to see Obvious Child with some girlfriends, which was awesome), and as I was walking to the bathroom a guy told me to smile. I really needed to go so I just kept walking but as I went to the bathroom I kept thinking about it and it made me more and more angry. When I was walking…

I feel like this is so much the expectation, that it really surprised me at my current job where so many of them pull major weight at home. My office is very flexible regarding schedules, etc. and it has really helped the men I work with be very actively involved in their kids lives. One of my coworkers went part…

If someone was going to stay home, I would want it to be my partner also. However, right now we are ambivalent about kids, and are basically going to continue not deciding for a while. I think, however, that he would be willing to stay home, and I know he knows I have no plans to and will not (except for extenuating…

A couple years ago I got my sister a Birchbox subscription for Christmas, and this past year I got her (and myself) a PopSugar subscription. Both allowed me to specify the number of months (PopSugar has gifts available in 1, 3, 6, and 12 month options I believe). I think she enjoyed the Birchbox, since she loves…

Me too. I created a Nest account a year or two out of college because I was on my own and trying to figure out how to have my own place that wasn't a dorm furnished by the college, I feel like the home site makes more sense for people pre-marriage since so many now wait until they are older and have been out on their…

I actually have a STEM degree from a small liberal arts degree. Even though I have student loans (mainly from my family and my's inability to properly fill out the FAFSA because of weirdness) I have never once questioned my decision. My largest class was 24 students. I once had a class that had 3 students, and…

I could do DC also, though I am not sure how unique it is. Then again, I really only normally wear chap-stick, and besides being able to kind of do a basic eye make-up for interviews/special nights out I am completely lost in general (especially regarding blush, too many horrible memories of terrible stage make-up…

My mom bought me a Michael Khors purse for Christmas. Not something I asked for but it is structured and a bright color, so I decided to keep it. I mentioned to a coworker that I want to remove the MK charm thing and she was aghast at the idea. I personally don't want anything on my purses that signals to others…

I did not go to school for a comp sci degree, but I did go for physics and math, which are both male dominated, so it is not exactly the same, but I feel like I have some understanding of the dynamics. Since I was young I have always been drawn to going against the grain/wanting to up end stereotypes. There are many…

We did the legal wedding a month ago to save money on insurance (but as far as the extended family is concerned, we are getting married in October). I wore a white in black dress and emerald green shoes. Green is my favorite color, and I decided a while ago that I wanted to wear them for the wedding, I still don't…

We got lucky finding our photographer. She did a friend's wedding and many of the best pictures of us are from that wedding, and yet some how she was substantially less than almost every other photographer in the area, and so far has been a pleasure to work with. I definitely think personal recommendations are the…

I have jokes with my parents that I don't trust that they are married, because I have never seen pictures. For a long time there was a picture of my extended family at one of my mom's sisters weddings prominently displayed, but never any pictures from theirs. I am getting married this fall and so I brought it up…

I can't see any videos at work, but was able to see some of the images posted, and the one with the nominees had multiple women of color. I decided to do a little research and figured out that it was the best actress category in 1973 (Liza Minnelli won for Cabaret). The two women of color nominated, one was Diana…

The wonderful ladies that made this are my friends, but even if they weren't this it's amazing and wonderful.

so, I know the wonderful ladies that made this, but even if I didn't, I love this video

so much of this picture bothers me. Why is she wearing big dangling earrings if they are just going too get in the way? Where is she going that a hat and fur coat are appropriate, but no need for actual clothing, lingerie is sufficient? Doesn't the coat itch? As for how she looks, awesome. It would great to…
