just temporarily though, right? Wouldn't want that stuff to languish in the back of the closet like an old bridesmaid's dress.

Well, you're friendly! You're probably one of those multicolored cool calculators and I'm a TI-93 or whatever.

I got: inventive • solitary • …

He'd probably ask if you're chicken...

I have better celeb news than this. Last night I dreamt that Barack and Michelle Obama came to a slumber party at my house. Everyone was in stripy pajamas, and we watched Harry Potter movies in the morning. Now how can I go about making this come true. kickstarter?

I didn't realize that seeing the Color Purple (or reading the book) is the one and only measurement of whether someone is culturally aware. I guess I better get on that. I can't believe I saw all those other movies for no reason...

I was reading a 19th century book the other day and a sick lady was told to drink a hot rum with butter. That sounds much more fun than butter coffee.

He conceded the point. I mean, the guy I pointed out looked like a villain in a horror movie, and literally had his face pressed against the glass to look out...there was no denying the creepiness of the guy. I just think because it doesn't happen to men, they don't think it's as rampant as it is, and as all women…

I totally agree. This is about violating someone else's personal space/privacy, rather than just seeing body parts. Otherwise they would be at home watching porn.

you reported everyone to HR? That's...really petty and sad.

a-it's not a 'school rule', but a specific dress code for graduation, presumably thought up by a terribly boring person.

I don't want to brag, but I only know who ~40% of these people are.

I don't want to be that person, but I am. It's one *alumna* who sent back her donation card with a note. alumni is the plural (masculine/mixed). alumnus is the masculine signature, alumnae the feminine plural.

Same here! It has the wit and light-heartedness of the Daily Show, but I actually *learn* something every time I watch it. And often it is stuff that is not covered in US news. I still love the Daily Show, but it seems like most of what Jon (Stewart) responds to is not news itself, but how news is covered on CNN and…

I am resigned to the fact that EVERY time I read anything about 'Michael Sheen', I immediately think only of Martin Sheen and am confused. Today proves this theory.

...it's not Los Vegas.

freemasonry?! the true scourge of our times....

I was considering moving to Japan for a year to teach English there. I stumbled upon this horrifying article about the number of 'western' women that have gone to Japan and have been attacked by Japanese men. The article implied that the western women were less likely to mistrust the men, because they seemed very…

yes? I'm 33. I always heard the rule is to not embrace something if you're old enough to remember when it was popular the first time. Not an issue because I look back on '80s and early '90s fashion with abhorrence. Except Doc Martins.

Fight the good fight!
