I think you are right on about the defense mechanism on the right. My own theory based on people I know is that they live in their defense mechanisms all day and night regardless of how difficult they find the current reality. It’s interesting, weird and sad.

I remember reading about Tinsley in reading Vanity Fair, and I felt the same way when I found out her being on RHONY. I do watch the show and she is so much nicer than I ever would have thought.

Update. He send me a text a bit ago way “sorry, my battery died.”

My friend and I were talking on the phone a couple of hours ago and he suddenly said “alright, bye” and hung up. I don’t know if he realized he ended the call out of the blue, if he suddenly had to go, or if I completely bored him. I spent too much time wondering the answer.

I’m excited about your closet for you! A few years ago, I bought an Ikea closet system and it has made me so happy. I’m one of those people who likes/needs to see all my stuff and that’s what this system does for me. I wish you the best, Wallflower!

I had oat milk once and loved it. I went into a coffee shop and they were out of soy, so the barista suggested it and offered me a taste. I fell in love with it on first sip. Then I asked to read the nutritional info on the carton and saw how many carbs were in it which it broke my heart. I didn’t have it with my…

Issa Rae’s performance is by far my least favorite thing about Insecure.

That’s a big part of the hilarity! What is that little girl eating? Sounds like ice, but it’s probably cereal.

I scrolled and scrolled for “I wanna be famous”

I LOVE THIS MOVIE TOO! Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst were perfect and their performances were exhilarating to watch.

A few years ago my blood pressure skyrocketed over the course of a few months, and I had a general feeling like the life force was draining out of me. My (female) doctor tried various medications to bring my blood pressure down, but nothing was working. My systolic number was regularly over 160 and one day shot up to…

The thing about stools that I really don’t like is that I feel as though I’m going to get my foot or shoe heel caught in it and fall forward off of them and land on my face. They are too high for comfort.

I just jumped over to Vulture and read the interview. It’s great, and I loved reading it.

I watched her on WWHL once too, and I thought she seemed like someone who would be super friendly and cutesy in front of you but laugh at you behind your back. She and Andy C exchanged knowing, inside joke, looks a couple of times and that was my gut feel.

Don’t hate me but I never get sick and never get a flu shot. But because of your post a couple of weeks ago, I got my flu shot.

I started watching Mrs. Maisel but was somehow turned off to it. I think it felt too wacky or something. I love wacky but wacky with the 50s dialect was too much. To be fair, I only gave it about 15 minutes. I guess I should watch a bit more to give it a chance.

And, Morena is also known for the pilot of It’s Always Sunny.

Thanks! I’m off to read it.

This is way off topic, but regarding that gif...

Between the John Oliver story and this, it’s shaping up to be a nice day.
