Isn’t an apron part of the traditional Finnish costume? I grew up in an area with a surprising number of Finnish people, and the girls always wore aprons — not aprons for cooking, just decorative — over their skirts/dresses when they did cultural events.

I got confused because my brain misread it as Jennifer Crusie, and I couldn’t figure out how she landed in the Dirt Bag.

Yay, new friend! Yikes, the Ray Wars! I got into fandom in 1999 or so, and they were *still* going strong. The really funny part was that once I started watching the show on whatever cable channel was running the whole series in reruns at the time, I realized I actually had watched random episodes when it originally…

The third and fourth seasons are a particular delight to watch because it is clear that the dog playing Diefenbaker (were those Draco years? It seems like they were, but I can’t remember for sure) and the actor playing Ray Kowalski absolutely adored each other in real life.

I did *not* expect to have an update related to the SNS theme, but here we are: Some Jezzies may remember my freak out last weekend after I deleted a very important database at work. I was *convinced* someone would point out one very specific thing I absolutely should have known better than to do, and I would be…

I had an apartment once that had the only bathroom in the bedroom, which was weird and awkward when a acquaintance-type visitor needed to use it. Hi, friend of a friend I don’t know! Go ahead and traipse through my most private room that I didn’t tidy up because I didn’t expect anyone over!

Party. Because the royal wedding would require far more sticking-to-protocol than I would feel comfortable with. If I can’t wear Doc Martens somewhere, I don’t belong there. Also because the party would have at least one person my age, and I’m sure the music would be *much* better.

He’s 46 (my age), so I’m sure recuperation breaks are built into the proceedings. In fact, that could be why it’s so long: It’s not one 72-hour party as much as it is a bunch of three-hour parties interspersed with snack and nap breaks, although by “nap,” I actually mean “leave me the fuck alone in silence in a dark…

He can’t run for his life. He’s already dead.

Not the case. The ex didn’t live there (that’s why he was picking the kid up: for a visit) and had actually filed for divorce a couple of months earlier.

I think my bosses are very deliberately keeping my name away from the big IT people, so that gives me a little peace of mind. The whole thing is starting to feel like a situation where there’s a big gaping security hole that I accidentally found, but I have no clue where it is.

I’m at the point where if they can figure out what I did, I’ll accept that I did something wrong. But, yeah, there is no way in hell I will agree it was deliberate, and I think the fact that I started cussing and immediately started yelling for my boss and our group’s IT guy the second I realized something bad was…

Holy crap, gang, I did *something* at work on Tuesday that accidentally broke a database so spectacularly that no one believes I could have done it. Or at least I coincidentally just happened to see the screens stating it was happening when it was happening. The tech people insist that it was something you had to…

Notably for the purpose of understanding the source of rage in this custody battle, she’s also in Gotham — where she met the dude who plays Detective (and future Commissioner) Jim Gordon. They’re dating in real life, which the ex discovered one day when he went to pick up their kid and found Detective Jim hanging out,…

And even if there ends up being an injunction or a publication ban, as soon as someone who gives zero fucks about that ban gets their hands on a copy, no amount of legal wrangling will get those worms back in the can. Someone *will* scan it, and copies *will* be available forever.  

I remember that some shit went down between them when she was doing her Apprentice series, but I can’t remember any details aside from being firmly Team Martha.

Yay, beauty thread! Last year on New Year’s Eve, I did a fairly hardcore lipstick purge, and I think it’s going to be an annual tradition now. I cannot resist new lipstick, and I already have my eye on the new Sephora Give Me Some New Lip set since it has the Fenty shade that is absolutely *screaming* my name, so I…

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say my vagina would suggest not.

Dolly Parton was trending on social media one day. I had a moment of panic, but it turned out that it was her birthday, and the posts were wishing her a happy day.

My birthday is just a few weeks away, and I promised myself when this line dropped that I would get the copper highlighter duo for my birthday. As soon as the 2018 birthday gift shows up on my Sephora app, I’m getting it! And also that new lip set that has Candy Venom. And maybe that set with one of the peach…
