I'm approving this only because I like the idea of a giggling Cooper.

Sometimes one must hide the truth to keep up with social mores. At least we know Marsden is a gentleman.

The only right answer is to fuck Anderson Cooper, marry Neil Patrick Harris, and kill Andy Cohen. I believe these are self-explanatory so I won't bore you with my reasoning.

Fitting, seeing as Farmer Chris is snoooooooozeeeeeeee.

Am I the only one who thinks the show hasn't, um, aged well?

Oh, you mean in the post? Yeah, I don't know if there was anything in the episode to indicate she identified as Chicana to be honest. Also, Gina Rodriguez is Puerto Rican. That doesn't necessarily mean Jane, the character, has to be Puerto Rican but describing her as Chicana did seem to come out of nowhere.

Ask and ye shall received. I should say that I misquoted Ms. Martin. She said she didn't have any strong feelings about Mallory. That makes it even better.

I've read it too! It's amazing. This might be blasphemy to some—blasphemy, I say!—but it's my favorite Madeleine L'Engle book.

This is impressive.

Mallory was such a drip that when Ann M. Martin was asked what she thought her characters would be like as grown-ups ("Kristy is a CEO, Stacy works in the business side of fashion, etc."), she said didn't really have any idea what Mallory would be doing.

Sorry, the best character was Mimi who was badass enough to immigrate to the US, learn English as an adult, encourage Claudia's artistic talents, teach Mary Anne how to knit, and tolerate Janine.

He's what I'll miss the most about the Obama era.

It's almost like I'll have to find validation within myself, instead of from guys. It's my lot in life.

Local Chicago woman likes to scowl at all times, gives zero fucks if you find her unapproachable.
