Yep, that’s exactly what they think. And, practically speaking, they’ve quite frankly been correct in thinking that they only need to worry about the people who agree with them because they have succeeded so far in ignoring everyone else. That’s why this turn of events is such a shock to them: The people who have…

Did you initially misread it as “fund,” get *very* confused, correctly read it the second time as “feud,” and think, “Oh, now *that* makes sense”? Because I did.

(*If it’s not* too rainy tomorrow. I think autocorrect is huffing again.)

I am very pro-Birkenstocks (I found it’s not too rainy tomorrow, I’ll wear mine to work!), but I am adamantly anti-Crocs. Birks are for people who don’t mind spending a hundred bucks or more on a shoe that will last them decades. Crocs are an impulse buy from a mall kiosk. They’re not even comfortable. I think I do…

They also went directly to Willie Nelson’s activism promoting weed, not his work supporting family farms or biodiesel fuel. So that alone should let you know their priorities.

I believe you haven’t heard of you, but you saying she must not be any good because you haven’t heard of her is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard in a long, long time. How much bluegrass music do you listen to? When was the last time you saw anything about bluegrass anywhere that wasn’t talking about the O Brother…

She’s like one of those people who has the most Grammys for singing. Not writing. Not producing. Not behind-the-scenes stuff. Being the name on the front of the project. She’s tied with Quincy Jones for the most Grammys for anyone still alive, period. If you haven’t heard of her, you haven’t been paying attention. Or…

Nah, try this one, which always makes me want to put on a fringed dress and spend the rest of the day just shimmying everywhere:

Do yourself a big, big favor and look up her collaboration with Robert Plant from several years back.

This was my first thought: Getting back to his breakthrough genre.

I don’t actually remember the first time I heard Nirvana. It was probably something off Bleach and probably in my car’s tape deck, though, because one of my friends I drove to school in 1990 (so pre-Nevermind) was really, *really* into local-ish music. We were going to college in the Portland/Vancouver area, so…

I saw Pearl Jam back when they were still using the name Mookie Blaylock. They opened for Alice In Chains on a mini tour of something like ten venues along the West Coast. The second Eddie opened his mouth and started singing, a chill ran down my spine, and I just *knew* they were going to blow up — if he could ever…

I’m pulling for a press conference “Weird, my arm is numb. And my face is droopier than usual. And my vision is all weird. Where is this headache coming from? I had better hold on to the podium before I fall over.” And no one notices he’s spouting gibberish until it’s too late for 911.

And the ceilings are really low, especially given how much *stuff* is there. I was watching Self/Less starring Ben Kingsley and Ryan Reynolds a few weeks ago because I was in the mood for a Tarsem movie I hadn’t seen before because he tends to go for amazing visuals (see: The Cell, The Fall, and Emerad City, not to…

Don’t believe the claim it was just a practice run. They knew exactly what they were doing. This was straight out of the shock doctrine handbook, sowing chaos immediately to exhaust us while they knit together something even worse behind the scenes.

No, Honu. I was buying in Washington state. I’m intrigued by Kiva, though, because it looks like they have even smaller doses in those than in the ones I got, which is really appealing for the workweek. I’ll have to ask around and see if I can find something similar in the Portland/Vancouver area!

Yup, every single Sephora box has a perfume in it. They advertise it as a bonus sixth item, though, so it’s not as annoying to me as Birchbox counting the fragrance as one of your five items for the month. That always drove me nuts when I was still getting Birchbox.

This is preventative self-care: I picked up the ingredients for a meat sauce kind of like turkey bolognese, and I’ll be making that tomorrow. The sauce can go on pasta, potatoes, polenta, a chunk of bread, or pretty much any other carb, and it freezes really well.

The five bucks is worth eliminating the freakout factor for me. The stores are so damned busy on the weekends they always set me on the edge of a complete meltdown. It’s also nice to be able to look at your shopping cart on your screen and see how much everything will cost *before* you place your order.

I always want to say, “Oh, you mean the Bible that was rewritten at the order of King James specifically to justify his reign as ordained by God and to keep the social order of the era in place, thereby ensuring that the lower classes believed they were less-than because God wanted it that way and that they should not…
