My brother pours club soda over it! I think he considers using lime juice a waste of a key ingredient for a gimlet or mojito. He’s got a Soda Stream, so he has no problem using club soda for random things.

Man, it was so long ago I can’t really remember details. It was a lot of stuff like “if a guy says *this*, he’s trying to compliment you and make you trust him. He doesn’t actually *know* you.” Basically, I think she looked at things that her oldest sister fell for when she was dating a guy she (the sister) ended up…

Hell, as a former young (now much older) woman who had several guys attempt to groom her (thank you, Mom, for making sure I had some fantastic radar as far as this is concerned), I’m going to judge, too. Most of them tried to play it off as being gentlemanly, but I remember one guy in particular straight-up TELLING me…

It’s spoiler time, right? The second I saw those pitchers, I said, “Grape Flavraid.” My aunt didn’t get the reference, so I clarified: “Jim Jones special.” I love that little psychopath.

There’s usually a skincare sample, a hair product sample, and some sort of makeup/cosmetic sample (liptick, highlighter, mascara, eyeshadow, etc.), plus two other wild cards, plus the fragrance. Aside from the fragrance, the sizes are usually the same size you would expect to get as a 100-point perk or birthday gift.…

I bought a couple of new bras and five new pair of underwear! When I bought them, it was just kind of “meh, I need new bras since not one but *two* recently died in painful underwire incidents, and I might as well get some panties as long as I’m here.” I had forgotten how much better new underwear makes me feel.…

Holy shit. I think that’s my new favorite Kesha song (and I say this as a Kesha fan, not as someone grudgingly acknowledging that she can do good stuff).

Oregon = Florida with trees.

MY PEOPLE! I HAVE FOUND THEM! I’m also hoping that Sansa and Tyrion reunite because those two minds working together would be astounding to see now that Sansa has learned how to plot and plan thanks to Littlefinger, and Tyrion has learned how to use his power for good.

Exactly. All of this. Including your ETA. I haven’t paid attention to any leaks, but I’ve been convinced since we saw him row off that he would be back towards the end of the show because it just doesn’t make narrative sense otherwise. I think of him as Chekov’s Bastard.

JOE DEMPSIE. And one of my coworkers thinks I’m crazy for being convinced that Gendry is coming back. That is my only comment here because I need to see these photos on my laptop. For some reason, these fashion wrap up photos are always super fuzzy on my phone.

Lucky you with a friend who had cable! My ENTIRE TOWN didn’t have cable until my senior year of high school. There was no going to a friend’s house to watch cable because they didn’t have it, either. I could only watch it at my grandparents’ house three hours away. And then when we FINALLY got it, my mom promptly had…

Uh... Those are the words of a whippersnapper who doesn’t remember life before dual decks.

Ugh, yes, so old. I remember when U2 was actually *groundbreaking*. Hell, I remember hanging out with my cousins at our grandparents’ house, and my cousin Rob lost his shit one day and made us turn on this new cable channel that was just launching that day, so we *had* to stop what we were doing right that second and…

I like you. You’re not like the other people here in this trailer park.

Almost. Stark Week starts this Sunday, the 16th. Shark Week starts one week later on the 23rd. July is a busy month for me.

It’s eleven days away. Yes, I have it marked on my calendar.

It’s possible, but there are a few bakeries that make this style of bread and call it “striata.” He still fucked up in his pretentiousness, though, because he might as well have said “cafe au lait latte.”

I’m fluent in carbs. It’s a bullshit phrase. Striata is basically a long stretched bread. Baguette is... basically a long stretched bread.

I would have cringed at that sandwich place, too, because I have a feeling everything there is made from cow. I can’t eat beef, and I have to be super careful about cured meats. And striata baguette? Not a thing. Total bullshit pretentiousness that counts on customers pretending to know what it is.
