this is exactly why I don't blog anymore. I had one insane person latch onto me for two years, and it was awful. Ignoring him, unfortunately, didn't really do much good in the short term. In the long term, though, he appears to have gone away.

I am naturally loud and I find that trying to be quiet makes it harder for me to come. Maybe its social conditioning or something, but moaning is better for me than not. That being said, I have learned to muffle myself with a pillow at, er, pivotal moments as so not to disturb neighbors/embarrass my poor husband (who…

Oh, yes. I totally forgot to mention pot! Pot is damn effective. Wake up, drink water, and if you don't insta-puke take a few hits off a bowl and see what happens. If you get hungry, THEN you go for the pho.

No, I just think this country is obsessed with the concept of time theft and talking about normal human experience in dollars rather than just accepting that sometimes people fuck up and get drunk and shit happens. We're all just expected to work 24/7 and not ever take a sick day. I think I've called in two or three…

That made my stomach turn, but less for the dead babies (though that part sucks) and mostly for the dead/maimed/traumatized/endangered women.

I CONCUR. There is some magic. It probably involves beef bones.

A hot, steaming bowl of any spicy Asian noodle-based soup, but there is something about pho that really, really, really works. Maybe its the beef. Maybe its the basil. Maybe its the sriracha. That plus a ton of ginger ale (or ginger beer) and water. Lots of sleep.

I like being in my early 30's wayyyy more than my early 20's...but if I could take the Tardis back to 25/26/27, I so would. They've been my favorite years so far. I finally had my shit together looks-wise, figured out how to drink properly, didn't have 48 hour long hangovers, and felt super optimistic and like I had…

That is by far the most terrifying thing I have ever read. Holy fucking shit. However, it was sort of useful at the same time, so there's that. I guess we have to have the shit scared out of us in order to know what we are all dealing with.

This is why I will never, ever go to a male gynecologist. I know ladies can do bad things too, I get it, but the chances are lower. Besides, it has always made more sense to me to go to a gyno who understands what its like to have a damn vagina.

She did not fuck around.

My point wasn't that smoking doesn't take people young or that anyone should smoke, simply that it makes zero sense to take cigarettes or booze or whatever away from very elderly folks. At that point, whatever makes them happy is what they should do.

Bless her.

My great-grandmother smoked 5 cigarettes a day and drank a half bottle of Irish Wild Rose every day until she was 88. The doctors took it away from her. She was dead in two years. Most importantly, she was GRUMPY AS FUCK. If someone tries to take my cocktails away from me when I am in my 80's, I will beat them with my…

Pink is the most underrated of the pop divas. She can sing far far better than Gaga, Britney or Katy Perry, and she always does something different.

I can't believe Kyle Chandler is going to play a YANKEE priest!

What's really crazy is that the Triumph is a reasonably small ship compared to some of the mega ships out there now. It was big when it launched in 1999, but not as much now. I can't imagine if this had happened on one of the biggest ships. How could they get tugs to drag those? They need to figure out a way to make…

Connie is amaze. She is gorgeous, talented, and seems so OKAY with herself. Also, I really love that she is aging normally. I am so tired of seeing every beautiful woman in her 40s completely wreck their faces with fillers and Botox. A little makeup and good hair goes a long way.

FNL is probably in my top 5 favorite shows of all time. I am an ultra-liberal from freaking Connecticut who has next to zero interest in sports. It's a smart, well written, compelling, and amazing show. You are really missing the boat and its very sad that you are so closed minded.

Oh good. Another book where some domineering stalker-ish asshole makes his subordinate wet in the panties and pretty much sexually assaults her (shoving his hand up her skirt in a conference room? Really?) and then she comes in 2 seconds and is in Love. BORING.
