You sound remarkably terrible.

Berlin is tots one-up on Montreal, don't sweat it! And I'm also a devious homosexual. And I've lately embraced my loneliness and stonerdom. Self-love!

Moving away from your problems seldom works, especially when you're moving to a dirt-cheap vice-indulging city like Berlin. But, your new behavior patterns will probably…

I've also seen options (probably more conventionally available ones) that are not flush the floor. So there's an outer basin and the inner, which overflows, and I thiiiink the water is *reheated and recirculated,* which would be amazing.

The buck stops with the editors who:
-run this joint (and do the actual publishing)
-hired this writer
-apparently posted this straight to the site as though this is a tumblr

If she was on staff, I'd be more willing to shift some responsibility for how ineffectual a piece this turned out to be.

Shame about the lack of editing (I don't fault anyone for poor spelling and grammer - they're doing their best. I highly doubt that the Jezebel editors were doing their best, here) on this article, because that passage in particular is an eloquent description of that very common phenomenon. Oppressed groups are often…

Oh god, Grey's anatomy. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. And yeah, the Calista reference was painfully clear.

I think that's just how it usually works. Around your birth, your mom and her generation would've thought of it as an old fashioned name, and not in a good way. Now, nostalgia brings it back! Just like fashion. It's all recycled as soon as the tastemakers grow up and move on.

Ha, I don't expect any Lorne born in the last 100 years was actually named after him.

Woah, your grandparents hella Canuck alright. Let them know!

My mom's middle name is Elizabeth, she was born just after the Queen took the throne. And her Aunt Betty was named for the same lady after she was born. Other grandma is also Margaret. I wonder if George will enjoy a boom, now. The new baby on Downton Abbey…

Ha, my friend Meghan (who is 35) makes a similar joke. Megan/Meghan/Meagan, despite being an irish name and not very new, seems to have appears out of nowhere. I certainly do not know any Meghans older than my friend. Megan Draper on Mad Men infuriates me. No fucking way that non-irish Quebecois girl was born in 1940.

It'll be one of those things you'll see all the time now. Like when you learn a new word.

When I was studying a Royal visit of Lorne and his wife (Princess Louise) in university, I'd read that and exclaimed that I'd never met a Lorne. And the girl beside me told me her dad is named Lorne, and reminded me of Lorne…

Oh, that sounds spot on.

I think it's so interesting to consider why those names became so popular all at once. It's usually something to do with a celebrity/fictional person. I know that the name Margaret became hugely popular (at least, in Canada..) after the birth of Princess Margaret like 80 years ago, and I know a great many octogenarian…

Yes, diamonds of this size and price are investments. I know most are not.

Real estate is a big umbrella, but most properties in the 30M range are not so easy to tell, and unless it's a huge tract of land (good investment, surely) it can't be broken up. Instead of auction fees, you also have huge fees involved in the…

I did that once. It doesn't really work. Looses most of it's colour during steaming.

Sounds much better than when my old boss would bring massive boxes of donuts for breakfast, and yes, occasionally she gave us free wine/champagne during the day, which caused me to get kinda tired throughout the late afternoon sometimes. I'm still working on my scathing tell-all.

Or, you know, not drink the free beer.

Is any of this news? These shenanigans at A&F are well-known, and honestly, I've heard much worse about the treatment of employees, especially by that tragic boss guy. Offensive slogans, healthy food, weirdly-timed catered staff parties and a requirement to wear the hideous clothing of a clothing company that you work…

She was Libyan. There was an endless round of justification that the existence of the video was the story, and somehow stills from the video NEEDED to be included and they NEEDED to show the body (if not the face) of the victim.

I wonder if I could find an article about child porn on here with a link to the pixxxxx.…

Except when she (herself) was posting images of rape victims naked bodies, during their rape. Kinda seems a little further down the "rape insensitivity" scale than Doug waded.
