This is why 'reasonable doubt' is such a tricky thing. Sometimes it is all that saves an innocent man who appears guilty, and other times a racist murderer is allowed to walk. A man who stalked, shot and killed an unarmed teenager can go free because there was the teeny tiniest possibility that maybe he shot a kid in…

All Cook does is survive plane crashes!

Everyone is best friends in the bathroom. It's, weirdly, one of my favorite parts about going out. So much friendly, supportive conversation happens there.

I was just there the other day and am super mad that I didn't notice any of the Bad Wolf stuff! But the TARDIS bathroom is the best thing I've ever seen.

I used to have the same general dislike for Blake Lively (like how did she keep getting all those awesome dudes to date her? Then Ryan Reynolds married her? What is wrong with these people? etc), but then I saw a youtube clip (posted on this site, I think) of her on some random cooking show, and she was sooo charming.…

Whenever someone tells me I'm prepared for any situation (I always carry an umbrella, tissues, a fan, Shout wipes, etc in my purse), I can't help but respond, "Miss Goddard's girls are always prepared." When pressed for explanation, I say it's because my college dorm was called Goddard and change the subject. But…

Absolutely! That way, neither of us will have to worry about choking to death alone in our apartment.

Many thanks. I adore cheese. And am also trying to impress Jerem. (Your name is a 30 Rock reference, right? Or am I projecting my love for that show onto unrelated things?)

Oh Bright Abbott. The jock foil-turned-bff to Ephram's sensitive artist. Everwood was the best.

The worst part about that Clara bit was that the least interesting version of her was the 'real' one! I thought Oswin was pretty great and Victorian Clara was alright, but modern-day, original-recipe Clara was the most one dimensional and blah version of her. And definitely should have died when she sacrificed herself…

I would lol at this guy's ridiculousness if the reality wasn't so awful. At least she's getting the hell out of there.

Agreed. The Da Vinci Code was the quintessential beach read from a few summers ago.

I always get frustrated when people say "But you'll still look so much younger than the rest of us 30 years from now!" Or I'll look much worse because my ghostly pale skin is so incredibly sensitive and has been severely sunburned about a thousand times despite my best efforts to prevent it. Ugh, just everybody shut…

It took me a really long time to finally accept being pale. I have two older sisters (and a mom) that get super tan in the summer. We all always wore sunscreen, but they still got dark while I just got sunburned. And god help you if you are fair skinned in high school. Being tan and the act of 'going tanning' are two…

This is my favorite gif in the world. I'm doing this horrible, uncontrollable laughter/crying thing right now because it is SO FUNNY. This gif forever.

u. u. u u u uuuuuuuu!!!!!!! Arrrgghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Apologies for the excessive exclamation marks, but people who write u instead of you make me so, so angry. That's only acceptable on Twitter because sometimes you have to get creative to make it fit in 140 characters. But text messages are unlimited! Just type you!

They are the single most uncomfortable shoes in the world. I got them in high school because I was on the swim team and EVERYONE had them. Admittedly, I still have them because they are very good when you're soaking wet from the pool and don't want to slip and slide inside your sandals. But anything beyond the walk…

So here's a question, based on that article: Can something be considered "wedding etiquette" if no one has ever heard of it before? The author of the xojane piece says no one told her her entire adult life that giving a gift that covered the cost of your meal and drinks plus a little extra is wedding etiquette. I have…

I think $100 is plenty! Plus, once you reach a certain age, everyone you know basically gets married at once. I don't have many friends, so this hasn't been a problem for me, but I live with my sister, and she's had 4 weddings SO FAR this summer. What if the girl in this article is like my sister, and has multiple…

This is such a tough one. I was at a party about a year ago (back when I had a boyfriend), and I started talking to this one guy. We had so many things in common and I was having such a good time talking to him, but I knew the second I said I had a boyfriend, he'd be out. So I didn't say anything until it became…
