Hey, I'm claiming it. It's not like we have a lot else to brag about.

When I went to the UK in high school, I'd get asked where I was from, and almost no one knew where Kansas was (most prevalent response was "Is that near New York or California?"). Those that had heard of it knew it only from Wizard of Oz. I did my part, and also mentioned that we started Pizza Hut. You're welcome, …

Yeah, it will be super rough when he passes. When I saw him on Moby's Area 2 tour, I got within 30 feet of center stage, and pretty much told everyone, "Yeah, I can die happy now."

Oh, Mike, I am so with you on Infinite Jest. Trying to read that was a multi-year project, which included me going on a six-week training class in another state with just three books in tow so I could concentrate on it. Instead, I just kept borrowing books from other people and spending too much at the local…

Weirdly, I just took the quiz and got Shirley Manson, so I am apparently better at being her than she is. Yay! Everyone else I know that took it got Kim Deal.

Just earlier this week, I was flipping through the radio stations on the way to work, and was gobsmacked that one of them was playing that song. On purpose. In 2014. WTF?

The key is to have a terrible memory so you don't remember the specific spoiler. Case in point - I didn't watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer live, and would just wait until the DVDs were released. A friend who watched it when it aired told me that Anya dies in the final episode, but by the time I watched the season I…

Back in 1998, I was living in Denver, and they were in the Super Bowl. I decided to spend the day at the movie theater instead, and while in line for popcorn, the guy in front of me asked the worker if he was getting holiday pay. Holiday. Pay. I could not roll my eyes hard enough.

I had to look away, it was so discomforting.

Basically, we were at the bowling alley, and I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. It came out perfect, not soggy at all, and the crust was wonderfully toasted and crunchy. However, some little splinter on that crust broke loose, and when I went to take a bite it stabbed me in the lip. I was like "Ow" and…

Hey, just yesterday, I fell down (and scraped the shit out of my knees in the process). That means I'm just like Scarlett Johanson!! Except instead of stillettos and a fur coat, I was in sneakers and T-shirt, and I literally just fell off the curb because I'm clumsy as fuck. I have, after all, managed to draw my…

Heard Infatuation in the mall yesterday, for the first time in years. Had completely forgotten about its very existence.

I can vouch that at least one of her blouses is from Lane Bryant, because I have the same one. It's an awesome orange top; I want to say it was in the Treat Yo Self episode, but I'm not 100% positive.

When my boyfriend professed his hatred of musicals, I decided that he needed to see this. He may still hate West Side Story, but thanks to Happiness of the Katakuris (and Avenue Q) he no longer automatically hates musicals.

The concept of time has never been a strong point in the Gilmore universe. It is established that the dinners are in Friday night, but there are numerous times where the mention an event happening on a specified, non-adjacent day of the week, then indicate that it is "tomorrow" during the dinner. Sometimes it's…

I've always thought Eddie Vedder sounded like damn sheep when he sings, especially on Jeremy. Drives me nuts.

R-rated movies I saw in the theater where some jackass parent brought a young child:

Am…am I the only one that prefers Zach to Dave? I love Todd Lowe, and always enjoyed Zach. Dave is okay. Maybe I just prefer big scruffy teddy bears to pretty boys.
