I may be projecting, but I felt like the “transcript in a court of law” line implied that he was preestablishing a technicality to excuse further contrary, manipulative behavior. I dated someone for a long time who gamed me into sticking around by pretending we were headed somewhere in a variety of ways, while falling…

It took serious persuading from trusted friends for me to start listening to TAL, because I hated Ira’s voice so much. I’ve gotten used to it now and love the show, but he was definitely a significant barrier to entry for me.

It sounds to me like she suddenly decided to borrow Lana del Rey’s vocal style, and IMO it works way better on Lana than it does on Lady.

Do you have any screenwriter friends? This is a great black comedy waiting to happen.

She said in the call that he wasn’t.

I read copiously for my job—mostly manuscripts and PDFs that are emailed to me. No way am I killing that many trees. I put everything on my iPad, (including my personal reading, for convenience), and use online publisher resources to seek out new reading material for both work and fun. As a result, I practically never…

Whenever possible when I get home, I just go pantsless. Luckily I've always lived in fairly balmy climes.

I'm just going to admit that I kind of share a bit of her [totally backwards, yes I know] attitude against sweatpants and have drawn a pretty hard line against bringing them over to my boyfriend's.

You seem like a thoughtful, ethical person overall, but your comments on this article have included a couple of epicly dubious "facts." You've obviously been doing a lot of damage control on the first one already ("most relationships would be better if they were non-monogamous"), but this one has gone rather less…

NPH and David Burtka! Especially around Halloween.

On the other hand, for me, most of my friends who got married at 22-24 had been dating for years, since the beginning of college or even since high school, and they felt like right after college was the obvious time to go ahead with the formal marriage rigmarole.

I'm sympathetic to their concerns, of course, but "mandatory, twice a semester" "consent education" sounds like a corporate sexual harassment seminar-style nightmare that will breed little but resentment and ridicule from most of those required to attend.

I saw a lot of celebrities come in and out when I was a receptionist at a production company, but my fondest memory will be the first day I was training, when Alan Alda called to ask for directions (I was a massive MASH fan as a kid with a big crush on Hawkeye).

Also, once in Vegas, I had lost my ID and couldn't get in…

Kaiser were actually the ones that persuaded my parents to get me the HPV vaccine (which they covered for free as preventative care).

Disney didn't make Anastasia.

Looks like preventing forest fires is a favorite cause.

Disney might have gone for it if they had come at it differently (ie, way more optimistically). They've let organizations use their characters for various public interest ads dating at least as far back as the 40's.

That is gorgeous!

And technically, it's not a run-on as long as it's grammatically correct, right?

"Other people who don't have the same physical self-knowledge, skills and priorities as me are 'kind of sad and pathetic.'"
