This sums up my feelings about people justifying their choice to leave NYC by writing ad nauseum about it and wondering aloud why people stay, aka, don’t make the same choice they made:

You mean this song by Edwin McCain, bard of the 90s, who I once saw play in a Border’s Books long past his prime?

The university has promised to give the descendants preferential admissions status to the school.

Well I watched the whole season but I’m hoping they may actually enlighten me on some things I missed while being entertaining. I love recaps.

Taboo was great. A bit weird, and DEFINITELY fucking brutal, but well worth watching in the end.

In fairness to the people who just start crying or shouting, none of us truly know how we’ll react when push comes to shove. I’ve seen people who you’d think be cool as a cucumber and who always seemed pillars of strengths break down in tears, and I’ve seen the office worrywart who flew into a panic when we ran out of…

If addicts don’t want to go to jailfor their disease they shouldn’t have gotten addicted.

I was trying to buy a cardigan online yesterday, like a regular cardigan with buttons, and I had to sift through so many “cold shoulder cardigans” which is just obnoxious. I want my cardigans to have shoulders.

I ride a bike a lot to get to my metro station (Sunset and Vermont). Its an easy ride because its a fairly suburban part of town, but I do have to shlep my bike around. The one time I locked it and the wheels to a bike stand outside the metro station, I got the OTHER wheel stole and had to carry it on my back to my…

Listened to a podcast with her the other day, man is she annoying! BUT! I almost loved her by the end of it.

Where in LA? The LA subway system is actually great if you happen to live within a mile of the stops . . . and you happen to work at another of the stops . . .

I work at a Belgian university, and we (female staff) are on strike today too (for very obvious sexism-in-academia reasons). Happy international women’s day, ladies!

Exactly. Well said. It always bothers me when the mob mentality takes over and people act like no defense attorney should represent a murderer or rapist, I mean that isn’t how any of this works. And it’s at odds with being a liberal and anti death penalty to me.

I tell STRANGERS when they have spinach or whatever on their teeth, cause I am cool like that.

All my friends were like “he’s so great! Best album of the year!” So I got it. And I was like....I need new friends and a refund please.

Embarrassing but true story, made less so by the fact that I was on much, many pain killers. Keanu and I both had spinal surgeries on the same day. I sent him a note asking if he wanted to neck.

When you have to go back over half a century to find examples....

Steve Bannon or no one. Seriously, he needs to be the next out of the door. Hell, he should have been the first one.

Just remember: they felt all the other awful shit he said about racial minorities, Muslims, women, and LGBT people was just a matter of “free speech”. Apparently this is the thing that was too “offensive” for them and where they felt the need to draw the line in the sand, where they felt the need to “infringe upon his…
