A few nights ago, I was watching one of those Ten Acts of Celebrity Kindness (I forget the exact name) videos on YouTube, and he was on there in full Jack Sparrow costume at some children’s hospital. I noticed one of his fingers was bandaged up, and I realized that the visit was shortly after that…

Yes! Team Netflix-and-Candy Crush! I’ve been binging The Magicians this week, but I need a new show since I only have two episodes left, which I will finish this afternoon. (I’ve specifically been hitting Netflix instead of listening to my usual political/current event podcasts. Self-care first.)

Agreed, except she hasn’t been spit out yet. I think that’s the most disturbing part of this: They won’t let her go to fend for herself. They’re keeping her trapped so they can keep on abusing her.

He might be too busy tweeting about Chelsea Manning’s sentence commutation and release currently slated for May.

I got on Twitter solely to follow him. I don’t know how many evenings I spent following whatever links he posted — and it was time very well spent. I’m kind of glad he’s gone so he isn’t here to see what that platform has become.

Ugh, you’re lucky you can at least run errands in your neighborhood! I have plenty of places in mine to get coffee, pizza, and booze — you know, the essentials — but of the sidewalks to get to those shops terrify me with their packed-down snow. I’m buying YakTrax once I figure out what size I need (I seem to be right…

The main reason I don’t feel guilty about it is because I have been tossing out almost all of my lip products lately because I realized that most of them are at least two years old. Then there are a lot of newer things I didn’t wear because I hated the smell (Maybelline and L’Oreal were two of the worst offenders…

Yup, bath oil (which I just use instead of lotion, not in a bath) *and* hair gloss! Snake Oil comes in both forms, too. I think those are the only BPAL scents to come in both. Every once in a while, Ted takes a vote and makes the winner into hair gloss, bath oil, and/or atmosphere sprays, too, and it could be a…

Yay, beauty thread! I’ve got cabin fever because our weather is completely fucked up (*four* rounds of snow in the span of a month! This many separate incidents of snow is pretty much unheard of here, and the last one this past week dumped eight inches over my neighborhood, which I think is the most we’ve had since…

I’m in Portland. We’ve been hit with FOUR rounds of snow in the past month. This does not happen. Like *ever*. Hell has frozen over, and we are living in it.

Are you familiar with the hip hop group Ugly Duckling? Or are you a former member? Because they did an entire album called Taste the Secret based on the concept of a fast food place called Meatshake that only sold milkshakes with meat in it. Their nemesis was Veggie Hut, run by a hippie woman named Briana.

Definitely yesterday. This area got a surprise eight inches or so of snow Tuesday night (and I send out a hearty GO FUCK YOURSELVES to any climate change deniers!), so pretty much the entire region is on lockdown, and I’m fairly certain they rolled out the video of the critters just to give those of us who are…

Fuck yeah, Team Fountain Pen! I had a friend in college who would get pissed at the skritchskritchskritch noise they made when I wrote, so he would take my pen out of my hand in the middle of class after ten minutes or so. The joke was on him, though, because I always had three or four in my backpack, so I just…

Am I seriously the first person to see “germophobe” and immediately recall Rip Torn’s words of wisdom on this specific matter?

I’m in banking, and back in November, we had to take a ton of courses about ethics, money laundering, conflicts of interest, corruption, and more things I can’t remember at the moment. The whole time, I was wondering how much of it would still be in effect at the end of this year. The general consensus within my group…

The sole thing that I am surprised about to the point of disbelief is the part where she claims heavy metal as a true passion.

This was my ad at that point in the article (eat the poor?):

*cough* Upon further reflection, I think they opened for the last Dead show I saw at Autzen. Not my last show overall, but my last one in Eugene. I know they definitely opened for them at one of the shows I went to at that venue, but I’m a bit fuzzy on which one. The early ‘90s just kind of blend together for me now.

Heeey, I saw them open for the Grateful Dead in 1990 at Autzen Stadium in Eugene! It was my first Dead show. I was supposed to go with a coworker, and he was going to drive, but he got sick the day before, and he couldn’t go, my mom drove me because we lived a couple of hours away, and my car was untrustworthy. She…

Also, doesn’t that require chairlifts? Ever since I saw Frozen (no, not that one. The one with — and I am not making this up — Iceman from the X-Men movies), I have had precisely zero desire to go on a chairlift, even if I don’t have to ski/break bones to come back down.
