I got mine done in either January and February. I’ve been fighting with my state for more than a month because they inexplicably removed my personal deduction! I filed an appeal, but they claim it will take FOUR TO SIX MONTHS. I call bullshit. I’ve had two different people look at my return and agree that someone in…

This is actually a bit of a dream for me. I know a couple of indie perfumers, and I would love for one of them to make a custom perfume containing real ambergris that I personally found.

The struggle is real. I actually stopped watching Mad Men because I couldn’t tell any of the guys apart. As far as I was concerned, they were just a standard haircut in a standard suit with slightly varying heights, and height is not enough for me to keep track of them.

I was thinking about covering camel toe, but now that you mention it, as a larger woman, yeah, *duh*, this makes even more sense. It’s hard to get the right length, too! I have several tunics that are actually a bit *too* long. I always feel like I should be wearing tights or leggings with them instead of pants and go…

I think we have a new fandom verb! To Gimple: to create a cliffhanger that no one actually cares about because you have miscalculated the storytelling tension so dramatically that by the time the storyline is resolved, everyone who has spent the past however many months excoriating you for it and still cares has…

This. All of this. Also, he’s looking at it from a marketing perspective, but the problem is that we’re looking at it from a storytelling perspective. The real problem is that he’s shitacular at both of these, and he completely ignores the careful balancing act that a stunt like this requires. And he should have…

Kitties won’t *let* you forget to feed them. Even when they’re standing in front of a full bowl of food. Or, in the case of certain *spectacular* kitties, when they’re standing *in* a full bowl of food.

You mean come at you to join the anti-banana club? Bananas are not simply revolting. The mere smell of them makes me want to throw up. Coworkers are banned from coming within ten feet of my desk when they’re eating one.

I didn’t fish him out. He JUMPED out and spent about fifteen minutes racing around my apartment — and climbing on my friends who were over at the time. It was memorable, to say the least. (I got to blame it on one of those friends, though, because he was the one who left the lid up after I said to make sure to close…

Or even worse than a phone, as I stated above, a cat. There’s nothing quite like having a cat soaked in toilet water *racing* around your apartment getting fucking *toilet water* all over the rug, the furniture, your clothes, and whatever else they come in contact with while they are losing their fucking mind because…

This. Also, when I was growing up, our towels were stored on shelves over the toilet, and the towel rack is there now in my current apartment. It only takes *one* round of fishing a towel out of the toilet before you close the lid every single time. And then there was the time my idiot cat FELL IN THE TOILET because…

Y’know, I struggle with what to have for lunch pretty much every single day. Thanks to this story, I think my decision has been made even though lunch is five hours away! The exact kind depends on what the options of the day are, but pepperoni is currently at the top of the list.

Same here! It’s entirely possible that there’s still a copy of it at my dad’s house. It’s also entirely possible that said copy is a library book I never got around to returning (our library didn’t charge fines and barely kept track of this sort of paperback).

Please do not waste perfectly good weed on them.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan (IS IT SUNDAY YET?), if you're counting recurring characters and not just regulars. I think he’s the exception that proves the rule since I can’t think of anyone else, but he wasn’t a lead, so that might also have something to do with it.

My brother has been watching Night of the Living Dead with his sons on Easter for at least a decade. Prior to that, they watched Monster Squad. Yes, for Easter. Because it was the closest thing to NotLD that his wife would let him get away with showing to a three-year-old and an infant.

I met up for breakfast (it was originally supposed to be brunch, but then we decided to go at eight in the morning, and I don’t consider that to be a brunch time),with a couple of former coworkers (they were fired a few years ago for having an undisclosed relationship). Then we walked around the neighborhood for a…

This week’s ass-over-teakettle obsession: ColourPop Ultra Satin liquid lipstick in The Rabbit. Practically neon! I went through a red lip phase in college. Now, give me screaming fuchsia. I desperately want the blush and one of the lipsticks from the Jaime King collection, but I’m waiting for the brows/Dopey/Kathleen…

Dark chocolate (like the stuff these are dipped in) typically does not contain milk. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are also usually dairy-free. (My kid brother had a nasty dairy allergy as a kid, so we very quickly learned what he could and could not have.)

When I was, like, five (and we lived in what amounted to a desert), my family put foil on the windows in the summer to help keep the heat out. It actually really helped (or at least seemed to help), and they do an even better job of blacking out a room than most blackout curtains I’ve tried, so I would seriously…
