There was so much about this episode that reminded me of OLD episodes. At the beginning of the episode, we think that Walt is visiting the Schwartzes to kill them; nope, he's doing something even SMARTER. The scene with Skyler was quite lovely, I thought, and I loved the use of the floor-to-ceiling post ... first to…

Totes! If i wear makeup, I do an oil cleanse: a dollop of castor oil and a dollop of jojoba oil, rub it in like soap, let it sit a few minutes, then wipe clean with a hot water and a washcloth.

I love the way abject ruin happens on this show. By virtue of the body count and misery surrounding him, Walt is a monster, sure. But murders [almost?] never happen as a result of his malice or enjoyment of murder. He's not Tuco, or the cousins. What makes Walt a monster is his determined self-preservation. He does…

So if the little compartments on my front-loader washing machine are labeled "detergent," "bleach," and "fabric softener," could I put the vinegar in the "fabric softener" spot so it gets applied during the rinse cycle?

Oh! They meant libraries as depicted by the teevee. Because the best fictional libraries that immediately jump to my mind are in Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" and Susanna Clark's "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell."

Lululemon's pants do indeed make one's butt look nice, but most of their shorts in the same size assume a very flat butt. Not for the weightlifters among us!

It's such a bullshit excuse. The cost of extra fabric is not a big contributor and is a total red herring. Plus, don't some companies who do produce regular and plus sizes spread the "extra" cost across all sizes?

That does not sound at all fun. I hope you get it figured out. Without knowing your particular situation, eating too little can, weirdly, lead to digestive distress, sometimes. But I hope you find a solution that doesn't get in the way of your life!

My tolerance for all this diet/weightloss bullshit is at an all-time low. I've been eating in a non-restrictive manner for the last 3 months, and it's changed my life. In other words, I have stopped eating 1500-1800 calories a day and now eat 2400-2500 calories a day, which is what I SHOULD be eating to support my…

I think our definition of "attractive" changes as we age, too. Despite the stereotype of 60-year-old men wanting to date 20-year-old women/girls, many (most?) people do, in fact, prefer to be with people near their own age. For my part (I'm 38), the twentysomething men just look too damn young to me. I don't consider…

He's got fucking Bambi eyes. Baby-faced asshole. Makes me hate him more, not less. He'd look great in drag, though.

Re, the GIF up there ^^^ Anyone else wondering how long before Kate bobs her hair?

I am, at this very moment, switching mousing hands so I can do an equal number of reps with my Captains of Crush Hand Gripper here at my desk. I want to get a 300# deadlift by the end of 2013. Last night I reached 265#.

Maybe she meant something closer to "distorted"?

I think the two aspects of Crossfit that are especially great are (1) same motions scaled to your ability); and (2) the focus on measurable, progressive results.

Very true.

Agreed, which is why during TRUE Tabata, when you're supposed to reach 170% VO2max, you really ought to be doing something where you CAN'T get hurt, like ride a stationary bike in a padded room. People focus on the 20s on, 10s off for 8 rounds, and think that's Tabata. No, Tabata is that insane VO2max. By that…

Comedians who are blessed with old age —- ESPECIALLY comedians —- eventually find their schtick unwelcome to new audiences. Look at old tapes of Johnny Carson's guests. Many of them were making racist jokes but were still fundamentally talented comedians. Joan Rivers played this well back in the 1980s, but yeah, no…
