I don't care that she's a reality star or that she has a sex tape: I care that she is really not interesting. She isn't a good interview. She doesn't even have anything interesting to promote, just a clothing line at Sears and Season 400 of her family's show. And as to classist: rightly or wrongly this will alienate…

This was a really lousy Groundhog Day. Last year all kinds of weird magical crap happened. Like, I saw a guy dressed like Bumblebee Man from the Simpsons bicycling in my neighborhood. Today the line at the coffee shop was long, my roommates are sick and openly sneezing all over the common areas (I am going to hit the…

Dude, back in the day Vogue ran really interesting reporting, great short stories, and Sylvia Plath interned there. It hasn't been great in years, but it has at least featured better writing and more interesting people than US Weekly and Star. This is just a really low low for them. Seriously, covers I want to see…

This is kind of a sidenote, but plants are way more sophisticated than people understand! They have vascular systems that circulate xylem and phloem. I know vegans who get upset about yeast, and I'm like, okay, but that's a unicellular thing and you're okay with pulling plants up by the root and they're way more…

I have a crush that I thought I was over, but I am not. He is so fucking hot, but he is also with someone, and it is hard to avoid him because he is in a band with like 2 other people I know. I really, really thought I was over this (as of 2 months-ish ago) but...I am not. Augggh.

bell hooks is just amazing.

You could move to Montreal! Montreal has lots of crazy shit going down! (I mean that affectionately, I lived there for 5 years and miss it)

I agree with you, but I also know some Wiccans who will get upset about this.

Last week I found out that Richard Simmons still teaches fitness classes when he's in LA. His studio is called "Slimmons" (which is perfect, and cracks me up) and I really want to take a class there. I can't believe I've been out here for two years without knowing of this...

I get weirdly non-specific things like: "You look like that girl in that 80s movie! You know, she has a Dad!" Um, okay, thank you.

There's a Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with a woman from Massachusetts who gave up her child for adoption fairly recently. Maybe it would make you feel better to hear that side of the story? Here's a link:

I don't want kids either, but my Mom's family is huge and Catholic, so I'm used to being around kids and old people. I guess for me, it's just that I enjoy seeing that someone has a comfort level around people who aren't necessarily their peers age-wise. I've been with people who are 27, 28 years old and have never…

D'aww! That's really sweet!

Dude, the baby thing gets me every time! On the flip side of that: when guys are afraid of old people and/or small children I take that as a red flag. They're people too!

I want to be very careful about how I state this, but I think we shouldn't be too quick to judge this without knowing more details. My parents are very immature, and I basically raised myself and my younger sister. I mean, I kind of potty trained her. If she had a nosebleed or a bad dream, she ran to me. I was the one…

I love the taste of Special K, but I see an ad and feel like...it's a disservice to women to buy that, and I must stop. Also I know it's supposed to be a weight-loss thing, but on Saturday mornings I eat like, 3 bowls.

Viola Davis is WAY too young though! And they were going to have her be a hospital administrator, not a mystery writer! That's more of a Diagnosis Murder reboot, not a Murder, She Wrote reboot.

This is amazing! Some of these people seem really young, like they're basically parroting the things their (hate-filled) parents say. Responding to them politely and with love is one way to maybe get through to them.

The "hanging out" thing is so junior high. I don't deal with guys who want to "hang out" anymore. If you want to be fuckbuddies, say that. If you want a relationship, say that. But it's pathetic when someone 30-35 is hedging by using "let's hang out sometime!" And in my experience, that's what it has been: hedging.…

A kid in my hometown had a crush on me in 5th grade, and kind of followed me around for a couple years. He friend requested me last year (under a fake name) and when I accepted, sent me a message with his real name, and made it clear he's still interested. We are 31 now. Some guys never get it.
