This is my answer as well. The other great thing about it is that the episodes all last about 12 minutes, which is a perfect amount of time to spend on a unit of pick-me-up. The show can be very emotional, and that is great as well. You as the adult can dwell on the meaning of themes the show raises with a single…

Thanks for that link, it was very educational!

Tipsy Sweet Potatoes

My go-to answer to this question is Crash. Normally, when you see a good, well-made movie that is an adaptation of a book, you can assume the book is at least good (well, as a person who has never read Jurassic Park, Jaws or The Godfather). And Crash the movie is amazing (of course I’m speaking here of the 1996 movie…

Finally, an actual use for Twitter that I can get behind.. That story was awful and I thank her for informing us all of this workplace abuse.

You win the internet today. We can all go home now!

Your username/comment synergy will be getting quite the workout, it seems. You’re username is unexpectedly topical!

I am overwhelmed by the sincerity and honesty of this statement, and also really shocked. Perhaps I just find it shocking because I’m not really familiar with his work, but people who abuse their power over others typically try to place at least some of the blame on their victims. An admission of having done it and…

+1 for username/comment synergy!

You mean David Ferrie was a real person and not a character invented by Don Delillo? I’m shocked.

That’s a great insight!

Thank you!

Perhaps this was just what her worthless boyfriend said to get her to drop it.

Extra points for the username/comment synergy!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Arundel. One incident is not a pattern. Two is a pattern.

Awww, I liked that movie! It was sweet.

I get it. It’s because you feel like you know them (I’m guilty of this as well). Do you feel as you would if you heard these things about someone you actually know? I think it’s hard not to respond that way. You hurt for the victims and feel betrayed by the abusers, feel compelled to choose a side, etc.

Yup. American Beauty is the only movie of his I liked, and learning that he was a real-life creeper isn’t going to ruin it for me. Oh, and I know the story is melodramatic and the dialogue isn’t naturalistic at all. But the cast sells the hell out of it, and I admire incongruity in my art. Like the teenage girl being…

That was sorry if the plot of Libra by Don Delillo, wasn’t it? Someone at the CIA helping nudge Oswald and then Ruby to do what they did? I read that book, found it plausible in a fiction-book sort of way, and then was alarmed at how thoroughly the idea of the assassination as a CIA plot had permeated my brain.

She should see the gyno. I think a dermatologist would freak the f* out if you tried to show them your private parts. If she does need a dermatologist, her gyno should be able to recommend one who won’t freak out. In no case would I recommend showing that part of yourself to your gp.
