OMG, I am SO going to do this!!!

I don't care much for Taylor Swift. That said, I know rich, pretty white women who've suffered addiction, surived or died of cancer, buried their children, been chronically unemployed, been abused by their partners, and on and on. I mean, maybe Taylor Swift has nothing in the world to be upset about right now, in…

I've had these concerns too, due to chronic nightmares like yours and some issues that I have that don't seem to have any "cause" that I can think of.

That is absolutely true. My bad.

I like a big, hairy man too! Big, hairy, aggressive, arrogant, decisive men. My best friend likes small, smooth, sweet, submissive men. We both like our men "manly". Big and hairy doesn't make a man manly. The penis does.

The problem isn't that Rihanna has a type. The problem is that she's conflating her type with "being a man", whereas it's just one type of man.

Huh? Rihanna is talking about what she wants in a romantic partner, which is confidence and agressiveness. That's fine. I like men like that too. But that has nothing to do with them "being men". That's them being the sort of human beings that they are. Some men are not like that, and some women prefer those kinds of…

Okay. The intern. I thought that character/story were the weak links in the movie.

I saw the Ides of March today. I really, really liked it. But I have one quibble, which I'll discuss in the reply, so don't read it if you don't want to be spoiled...

Ugh, shut up, Rihanna.

What's wrong with Rhianna's quote is that she's wrapping it up in gender. If she wants a man to rough her up or boss her around, that's her right. But that has nothing to do with him being a "man" and her being a "lady".

I can't speculate on Clooney's sexual orientation, but nothing about his relationships seem real. They've always struck me as purely for publicity.

Never going to happen. I've never been able to tolerate a roommate, even sharing a two bedroom apartment.

I had a boss who was an incessant ball-scratcher. He was also a sexual harasser and psycopath, so that was the least of my problems. But one of our male clients actually asked him to stop scratching his balls in front of him. That was awesome.

Okay, but when every day, another Hollywood relationship fails, where the man is 15 years older than the woman, do you have the same reaction?

Underwear.

I wasn't thinking that they didn't resemble each other. I didn't think there was a big enough age difference for them to be mother and child.

Fifty-five? I was thinking thirty at oldest, while the other one looks about eighteen.

This is supposed to be a mother and daughter? I'm seeing one model who looks like she's seventeen and one who looks like she's twenty-five.

Maybe I'm just not looking closely enough, but they don't look that far apart in age.
