@negativethree: She doesn't have a lot but Nightwood is my favorite book of all time. TS Eliot wrote the introduction. It's tough to get through but really well worth it, especially to get a early 1900s perspective of both homosexuality and transgendered people as well as pre-WWI interactions between many different…

Crap, this means we'll have a series of so not funny movies involving the Falconer and MaGruber.

@negativethree: Definitely!

Maybe this has more to do with my dislike of Jodi Picoult for the same reasons I no longer read Nicholas Sparks: it panders. I put them in the same category of literature aimed at women for superficial reasons. Picoult's "Sister's Keeper" felt so contrived that I was nauseated reading it. Nothing to do with the…

I have a stuffed football I sleep with. I say it is because it is the perfect size for my arms to wrap around but really, I stole it from my little brother and it reminds me of him.

I did this accidentally as a result of too much marijuana consumption while in a room full of people watching Idiocracy. I kept a straight face, only because I was stoned out of my mind.

That promoter should be sued. The only ad I saw for the Bret Michaels concert was a dinky political campaign-like sign on the grass somewhere. Poor ticket sales probably a result of barely anyone knowing about the damn show.

@bowleserised: Then why the need for Amsterdam? I just assumed he was going there because he couldn't in his own country.

Ok so the British government is going to send a mentally disabled man to another country to engage legally in an act they've outlawed within their own country? What?

@VanMundegaarde: Just say no to Papyrus. He'll be ok. He can join that support group with Comic Sans

@RaeBeta: I so have had an idea for a comedy novel with this. It also involves Meg Fuller with a semi un-requited crush on Emerson who then gets jealous of her Italian lover. Hawthorne is the pretty boy and there are soooo many ways this could be hilarious if you brought in the Alcotts, Bronson and Louisa May with…

I remember reading the original blogpost about this. It was amazing.

Paging minimalists, your lifestyle is soooo 1850s.

I can has a new hair goal.

You're right of course sir, my breasts have absolutely no nerve endings in them. That is why they exist purely for male sexual pleasure and for you to ogle and feel them.

@Marbe: I could maybe buy that argument if he wasn't so 3-D gung-ho and talking about a future where all movies were made in 3-D.

@shaken.not.stirred: I read the article and it seemed more like he dismissed it and said she won because it wasn't the Blockbuster his was. It seemed like a really underhanded way of saying that the Academy chose hers because he'd already won an Oscar and hers didn't make as much money. He came off pretty douchey to…

This is based purely on my own experience, but until I started reading Jezebel and training for a women's only triathlon, I would constantly compare my body to other people, both favorably and unfavorably. With the combination of the no-body-snarking rule and watching women of all ages and sizes squeeze themselves…

@CissyPants: Not a NY thing. From NY (NOT the city) and my friends and I all wear sandals upstate, until the snow sticks to the ground.

C'mon. At least he isn't wearing socks with the sandals.
