She did buy the vase in the book (in 1945), and my interpretation was based on that, not the show.

She was supposed to buy that stupid vase in the first episode. I always interpreted that as a symbol of being ready to settle down, live in one place, and have something that’s strictly pretty rather than functional. It’s symbolic of her relationship with *Frank*, not Jamie.

No, I agree completely. Jenny IS (well, can be) a bitch, but she’s a stone cold cunt in this compared to to book-Jenny, who already knew about Claire due to the grapevine, and even had she not had forewarning, she’d *never* be so rude to a guest.

The thing I’ve learned about cheating is that the story is almost never as black and white in favor of the cheated-upon as people would like to think. Some people are unquestionably douchebags who are just cheating because they can and they don’t give a shit about anyone but their own immediate desires. For many…

I got the “I pay your wages” crap from some crabby sexist old white dude, and it did, in fact, cross my mind to throw a dollar bill at him and tell him to get the f**k out of my store, but fifteen years of retail has blessed/cursed me with the ability to withhold the burn. Every time I pause two or three seconds…

Only child and an archetypal introvert. I've lived by myself for 17 years - since a few years after getting out of school - and I have no clue how to cohabitate with any living creature other than cats!

I prefer demi bras for the same reason. I'm a D-cup-ish, but I have shallow boobs that are spread across a very large ribcage, and full coverage always looks ridiculous on me. Demi is a much more attractive fit, and if I can find them unlined (or lightly lined), so much the better. Unfortunately, at my size, designers…

I miss the original freesia scent...

I used to love Gap, and I still buy certain staples there like tank tops and t-shirts and my work pants, but I started noticing a drop in quality a couple years ago, and then they started making clothes with weird shapes instead of basics. It’s frustrating when you don’t want any foofery in your clothing - just simple…

“Needing to get off of the road, Bourdain and his companion pulled over next to what appeared to be a dilapidated wooden shack with a tin roof. Bourdain worked up some courage and went inside.”

I was pretty much at the bottom of the social totem pole in school, being a snotty metalhead who was too cool to be a conformist little sheep. At a seventh grade dance, probably only there to be near the guy I had a crush on (and I can’t even tell you if he was there that night or not), I got fed up with all the New…

I've always traveled alone - I wouldn't know how to manage if I had to juggle someone else!

If there was a bobcat outside my back door, I would be wiping blood off my carpet after my one cat freaked out, transferred aggression to my other cat - the alpha bitch of the house - who would then beat her to a pulp in self-defense.

I give people the Sheldon Cooper fake smile.

One time when running UBRS in vanilla, General Drakkisath wiped out 98% of the raid. There was only me - a hunter - and a healer left. I got aggro, as I do, and I noticed he only had maybe 2% health left. So I feigned death, transferring aggro to the priest, who naturally died a few seconds later, but those few…

Back during the Lich King release, we had the Scourge invasion across all of Azeroth. The Horde was busy with a necropolis in Tanaris, just outside Gadgetzan, and a few Alliance got in the middle of things and flagged, starting a big PVP mess. While all this was going on, I got the bright idea to run over to the…

I bought one of those after a herniated disc. HATED it, and I gave it several weeks as recommended to get used to it. I woke up with far worse neck cricks than I started with, mostly because the sides were too high for sleeping on my side. Now it's my cat's pillow.

I don't mind EOS, but I still like BB better, specifically the honey one. And the container issues, obviously.

On my last overseas trip, I stayed with several friends. I packed ziploc bags with 2-3 bars of good quality chocolate and other treats per person. Almost everyone loves chocolate, and it doesn't take up much space or weight.

Appropriate deployment of Tim Minchin!
