She hasn’t gone to jail yet why?

OMG I remember when Million Dollar Baby and Millions were out at the same time. One is a kid’s movie, the other is decidedly not. That...was interesting.

I worked at a movie theater in like 2004, 2005. There was some movie that was made in a Southeast Asian country but was distributed in the US with Quentin Tarantino’s name attached (I have no idea what the title is). I can’t tell you how many people asked for a refund after the movie was over because it wasn’t an…

NOOOOOOOOOOPE. I used to know some people who were homeless by choice. Every last one of them, without fail, smelled terrible.

I am so grateful my partner actively wants me to finish my MSW. We’re living on one income and paltry student loans right now. He just keeps telling me to graduate and get a job already so we can be middle class.

Nope. A few years ago I had a roommate who did a master’s in education, but said that the minute she got married she was getting pregnant and the minute she got pregnant she was quitting teaching forever.

THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT DEGREE I ASK YOU.

When I was a student at UC Santa Cruz circa 2003-2004, one frat got in trouble for giving their members shirts that said “Freshman girls: get ‘em while they’re skinny.”

The same frat was later banned and defunded because some pledges killed, barbecued, and fed to other members some of the university’s beloved koi who…

I helped my sister adopt a cat once when she was pregnant. He had some kind of skin issue from being outside all the time and the vet told us (ie me, the non-pregnant one) to give him a bath. This was 14 years ago and I still have the scars on my arms. The poor kitty hid inside a cabinet for a day and a night after…

Me and the dude were at the zoo two weeks ago and one of the keepers was giving a talk about how they thought Mei was pregnant but there was no way to know for sure, because panda fetuses are just too small. This makes the news of the new cubs even more special for me. Yay pandas!

I keep trying to let it shrink by attrition and then I keep finding more things to watch. It’s a problem.

I have a DVD queue just north of 150 discs, and growing all the time. Partly this is because for many years my laptop only ran Linux, which is not compatible with streaming (although I do stream now). But mostly it’s because there are a lot of shows and older movies I want to watch that aren’t available any other way.

The closest theater to me is a Regal. Guess I’m driving across town to spend half a paycheck at the movies next time.

I really want just a simple courthouse/city hall wedding. We can’t do that in our state. If we had a ceremony it would basically have to be done by a clergyperson, and not only are we different religions, neither of us practices. I know a couple humanist chaplains who could marry us, but that doesn’t really appeal to…

I got a dollar per tooth (and nothing but horrifying emergency oral surgery for the ones that got knocked out in an accident), AND my mom always left my teeth in the windowsill in my bedroom instead of keeping them or throwing them out where I couldn’t find them. THANKS MOM.

Re: hair in food. I used to work at a pizza place. There were these two women who came in twice and tried to pull the same trick - they would eat almost all of the pizza and THEN complain about hair in the toppings. The first time the manager comped them. The second time, it was the same manager, and he said, “Isn’t…

My sister got married when I was 20. She wouldn’t let me be in the wedding party (our other sister was her matron of honor), forced me to buy a “wedding day survival kit” that cost like $100, and cut me out of all of the family photos by sending me on an errand while they were being taken.

Then she threw a shit fit…

I trim from time to time and sometimes I remember to shave, but I’m very bad at it. Mr. Brotherjo is smart enough not to state a preference but has asked me not to trim in the shower, which I think is a reasonable request. As for his pubes, as long as they’re clean, I don’t care. I would be uncomfortable if he shaved,…

I’m 31 and a grad student. Things I am too old for:

-the general drama associated with being in college
-bad professors (I am NOT paying out of pocket for you to cancel class because it’s nice out, or for you to sit in the front of the room telling stupid stories instead of, y’know, teaching)
-anything school-related…

The more of these things I read, the more I want to ask Mr. Brotherjo to elope.

Speaking as someone who once killed a pedestrian while driving (technically, while spinning out after being hit by a van), I can assure you, insurance companies (and police, and lawyers, and judges) always think it’s the driver’s fault.
