It wasn’t for very long because the war ended shortly after she joined, but, yeah, actual mechanic. Changing tires, rebuilding engines, driving ambulances, that sort of thing. There’s a story about how you had to drive this one particular course into London in order to graduate, and there was this freakout conference…

Maybe it’s just my friends, but there no way there would ever be leftover hot dogs no matter how many “extra” you buy because everyone brings their actual dogs. Boxers and retrievers are bottomless pits.

This is the same guy the night before the murders. This kind of rant happens ALL OF THE TIME on the trains and buses here.

This. She was a fucking *mechanic* and military truck driver during WWII while she was still a princess. This has always been my favorite bit of trivia about her.

He reminded me more of a Grateful Dead show. Specifically, halfway into the Dead’s first set when they play something catchy like Sugar Magnolia, and all of the various recreational pharmaceuticals everyone did during the opening act are kicking in, so it takes a little while to recognize the song, but once you do, IT…

I was thinking more along the lines of a MASSIVE amount of shit being thrown at him by other audience members since he is the sort of person to make very aggressively sure everyone there knows he’s a dudehole. “You know you’re at the women-only screening, right? This is a safe space! You don’t have to pretend anymore!…

It just depends on the kid. This absolutely seems like something I would have done. When I was their age, it was right smack in the middle of the Reagan era, so I was reading 1984 and going off on anti-Reagan rants, so their responses seem completely age-appropriate to me.

My family had a mostly black lab (that is, he was all black, and the only breed we could identify was lab, but there’s no way that was all he was) who was so mad when I moved out for college that he would go to my bedroom, circle around it for a few minutes, go GLARE AT MY MOTHER while she was putting on her makeup…

So kind of like Oh No Ross and Carrie, but with self-help stuff instead of fringe science and religion? Yes. Oh, *yes*.

I tossed not one but TWO liquid lipsticks this week, and not because they turned bad! I actually used them up! They’re two of my absolute favorite shades, though, so I’ve already ordered replacements. They’re indies, though, so it’s going to be a while before I actually have them in-hand. One of them was a limited…

Ooh, I hadn’t heard of Casefile before! I’ll add that one to the list.

I’m on a true crime kick right now, so:

Ahhh! Hi, neighbor! It’s possible my cats have sat in the window watching you walk by! I love our neighborhood. Nope, I’ve never gone to Roscoe’s, and I’ve lived in this neighborhood for eight years now, so I really should have gone in there by now, but I haven’t. Today would have been a great day for it, too, since I…

This is a good overview (and, yes, it was ONE interview with the owners of ONE cart that caused this whole thing):

Buying a ticket doesn’t mean you automatically get in the door, so I’m pretty sure he’s clearing storage space on his phone and getting buddies together to film the screening-night altercation he is obviously planning on instigating.

We seem to be having stabbings more and more frequently, and not just on transit. I’m actually shocked I haven’t heard about one in my neighborhood (just off 82nd and Stark, right by a bunch of dive bars) recently.

People not from this area think I’m joking when I say that Green Room could easily be a true story. The most unbelievable part of that movie to me is the fact that they have cell phone service out in the woods, but I guess more cell towers were probably built since the days twenty years ago when my dad was a timber…

I misread this as Lindsay Lohan and wanted to ask you to not share that fanfic.

A tarot reading from Rachel True would be a dream come true for ‘90s!halfpast. Hell, I want one *now*.

My rebuttal to the need for these laws to protect women and children in public restrooms will forever be this:
