I wish I had the ability to bump your comment out of the greys.

I pretty much only drink club soda/seltzer these days. I drink it in place of water in the evenings as a treat. I like the bubbles. I find most sodas far too sweet, and I've never really liked the metallic taste of artificial sweeteners. Maybe once a month or so I have root beer or Dr. Pepper, like it's a liquid…

Linda and Naomi were awesome—and I loved that George Michael had them in his video for "Freedom"—but yeah, there was something about Christy that seemed more approachable, more relatable.

I have a terrible soft spot for Christy Turlington. I've liked her work since I was a preteen with a subscription to Seventeen. Hell, I bought the issue of Esquire with her on the cover and still have it tucked away somewhere. It sucks that CK feels they need to 'shoop the hell out of her for her to be a viable model.

I do that with Jewel Star >.>

"Black dogs"...it's interesting how so many of us come up with a nickname of sort for our depressions. Mine are the cockroaches. They eat everything, even themselves, and they never f$cking die.

Right up there with "in one of my drunken stupors".

I've encountered a few guys with shaft hairs. It's not terribly pleasant during oral.

Oh wow. That's really sad, even if he had been sick a long time.

I never knew it was YA either: sex, death, abuse; it all seemed pretty adult to me when I was reading them (I think I was 12-14). I wonder how tame it would seem to me if I reread them now, 20+ years later...

I hated Christmas for a long time, but I started making my own traditions a few years ago, and that's made all the difference. This post is making me so excited to go get a tree this weekend!

A fair number of people in my city actually decorate their outdoor trees, even the spindly deciduous ones. I love it. I dunno, I can appreciate coordinated, stylish trees, but I love the childlike glee of a riot of colour and a wild assortment of ornaments. I've got WW2-era carved wax balls, Swarovski snowflakes,…

That tweet has been deleted and it looks like she's locked down her entire account. I know it seems weird that she would joke about his underwear (whatever the joke was), but when my mom died suddenly, I was desperate to laugh at just about anything that would let me forget for a second that she was gone.

Anyone who says that to you has missed the point. Hugs, if you want 'em.

God yes. Give me a six-ounce, rare steak, at least an inch thick, and I will be as nice as pie. Even nicer if you pair that with a pint of stout. ALL THE IRON.

I'm going to be That Person and wonder aloud that what's illustrated is actually La (labia). But I guess drawing a vaginal canal isn't as evocative?

Oh my, Reagan would roll in his grave at how they clearly failed you. An eagle is weeping somewhere.

I must confess, I would have preferred Lucy Lawless as Wonder Woman, but I'll reserve judgment. Gadot was a solider, as has been pointed out, so maybe she's got badassery to spare :)

Considering the feelings and needs of others? WHY YOU SOCIALIST COMMIE PINKO LIBERAL!
(That's really sweet that you made them cards. It's wonderful how such a small act can mean so much.)

Holy crap, that Arcade Fire song sounds like The Beautiful South.
