Dark chocolate over here. Mint dark chocolate if possible. Ever since The Incident, I’ve had a problem with anything with a strong canna flavor, so baked goods tend to be out, but dark chocolate masks it an acceptable amount, plus I just like dark chocolate, period. I’m looking forward to recreational edibles sales…

I actually had a whole paragraph about the smile command! It makes me want to punch whoever says it. Then there’s the really cute guy (think Portlandy Adam Levine) I’ve seen a few times near my office and bus stop. I can’t figure his smile-and-nod out. Is this a nonverbal smile command? Does he think he knows me? Do I…

When I hear it, the tone used with “Damn. Thank you” usually means “You damned stuck-up bitch. You should be grateful that I’m paying any attention to you. The proper response from you is a ‘Thank you’ to me.” And that’s why I walk through my city with sunglasses and headphones destroying my hearing: so I can at least…

Something has been bugging me about the decision beyond it being utterly shitacular, and I just realized what it was: Sony and the judge are saying that Kesha can just work with another producer! No big! But that was precisely what she asked for in the first place, and Sony refused. That was the whole reason she was…

Whoops, my browser choked!

It's Washington. It's entirely possible it's weed soda or hash lemonade.

Totally misread “Meeting” as “Peeing.” It still made sense.

If I rcall correctly, Rita Ora is currently in a similar situation. Whatever happens with Kesha isn’t just with her. It’s precedent-setting, and it could send shock waves through the industry. (For the record, I’m Team Kesha here. I’m also on Team Long-Term Record Contracts Exist Almost Solely to Fuck Artists Over.)

Whoops, that should say “MORE LEGAL TO BUY WEED HERE THAN SUDAFED.” I can't figure out how to edit on my phone.

No sales tax, mail-in voting, no pumping your own gas, and legal recreational weed. And assisted suicide for terminally ill people is legal. And birth control pills are OTC, and I think you can get up to a year at a time, *and* they’re still covered by insurance. And then there are our abortion laws. It’s really weird…

I love my Oregon privilege: sitting on the couch in my pajamas. That's how I vote. (This state has all-mail-in voting. There’s actually a coffee house in Portland that has an old voting machine as a sort of historical relic since newer voters would have never experienced that.)

Mine scrambles it to ANTI Trout. Which I totally am. I must have had a Bad Experience as a kid.

Cosigned. Except I wonder if maybe this is part of a standard cycle for him going back years, but we didn’t know back then because he wasn’t married to someone who entire fortune rests on publicity.

Bowls, all the way. In addition to the spilling issue, it’s easier to protect your food from your cats when you’re really, really high and slouched back while watching all of the tv when it’s in a bowl than when it’s on a plate.

Huh. I wonder if that box I have from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventures (the animated series) cereal that has been dragged through, like, seven apartments is in good enough condition to be worth anything.

At this point, I honestly think the strategy is to drag things out to the point where Cosby dies before going to trial, not to actually win. Or at least before the verdict is read. He’s so old that he could pass away literally any day, and this trial could be extended to *years* due to the appeals. If he dies before…

This is a *much* sweeter story than the one about Target’s predictive analytics outing a pregnant teen to her dad via marketing materials.

Eh, the best part of growing up in the ‘80s was going to college in the ‘90s, especially since that meant things like seeing Mookie Blaylock opening for Alice in Chains at the Melody. We got all of the grunge bands here during that era, but most of them were from within 150 miles or less, so that wasn’t a big deal,…

Totally unsurprised. We never got the good concerts here when I was growing up in the ‘80s, either.

You mean the King miniseries? Yup. You don’t get Showtime, and you don’t get commercial-free, but you get Hulu Plus, with tons of movies and series (and more episodes of some series, like the whole season of Empire instead of just the most recent five episodes) that you can’t get with regular free Hulu. (I sound like…
